Love seeing all of the birth pics and all the babies. I especially like when three or four totally different looking snakes are in the same litter! I will NEVER understand the Punnit square-don't even try explaining it to me. My question is, in those birth pics, with all the afterbirth goo and all- does it smell? I know that's a weird question but I am just a pet owner and I'll never breed (snakes that is) so I'm curious. It looks like it would smell horrendous, but then, in the wild that would be like advertising and the young would never make it.
