Finally broke 20 babies in one litter this season - barely. Bullseye, one of my big girls dropped 20 babies this morning.
Found mom shortly after giving birth to her litter, still in the hide with them and clearly tired....

Cute how they're all snuggled up together.....


Look at the serious fold in the body segment underneath...

With mom out, the babies and a few slugs....


Lotsa variety in this litter, not a genetic morph, just normal color variation.

Mom in a holding tub all deflated....

And the babies in their holding tub awaiting individual weigh in and placement in racks


Typical full term babies, 27 - 31 grams with one smaller one at 20 grams. Looks like a surviving twin. I think it's this one by mom's head, you can see the half slug in the same membrane as a baby....

----- Thanks,
