These were born June 6th. I got to watch from the start of the females contractions. This is a first time for me to see the entire process , which was only about 20 minutes . I tried for 3 years to breed a male Leopard to a Chris Gilbert Hypo het Leopard, with no luck. So this season I bought a back-up het Leopard that was a half-brother to my male Leopard . This season, once again my Leopard wouldn't breed, but his half-bro did. The results were 22 babies - - -

2 Hypo Leopards
4 Leopards
7 Hypo pos het Leopards
9 pos het Leopards
4 Stills (2 normal , 1 Leo, 1 Hypo Leo ) - ouch !!!
0 Slugs

------ It was such a thrill to see them come out . I wanted to take pics and video, but I didn't want to be a disturbance , so I waited until she was finished.
