>>Thought I would share some interesting statistics on my recent Snow Boa litters. >> >>1st Litter (April 21, 2005) >> >>A surprise 1st litter for 2005 - My 1998 DH female bred to 1 of my Snow males. I knew that she was gravid, but I missed the ovulation, and what I thought was the post-ovulation shed (POS) would indicate a delivery date of May 30th. The female dropped unexpectedly (under the cage liner paper and on the hot spot). I did not have a birthing spot set up since I thought she was still more than a month away. I believe the dead babies died due to being dropped on the hot spot - they were fully mature and looked great. Final results: >> >> 8 Snows (2 dead) >> 3 Albinos Het Anery (aka Snow) (2 dead) >> 5 Anerys Het Albino (aka Snow) (1 dead) >> 5 Double Het Snow (2 dead) >> 3 Preemies >> 13 Pills >> >>2nd Litter (Today, May 6, 2005) >> >>Another Bonanza! - My 1997 DH female bred to 1 of my Snow males. This female had produced Snow boas in 2000, 2001, and 2002 from DH x DH breeding and had the past 2 years off. She dropped today, 131 days after ovulation; just about right; but she did NOT have a post-ovulation shed (NO POS?). Final results: >> >> 7 Snows >> 4 Albinos Het Anery (aka Snow) >> 7 Anerys Het Albino (aka Snow) >> 7 Double Het Snow >> 3 Deformed Preemies >> 13 Pills >> >>MORE LITTERS TO COME My June calendar is pretty full. I have a gravid female Snow (maybe 2) which will really be interesting to see what happens, and I have several other gravid Albino & Anery females that are 66% possible for Snow that I am hoping to prove out. >> >>Be patient with my image posting skills. This is my first post on the forum. I do hope to participate more in the future, but I think I am going to be pretty busy for a while. >> >>Snow Boas from Litter #1 - 4-21-2005 >> >> >> >>----- >>Bill Gaines >> >>My Email >> >> Gaines Reptiles Website ----- E&C's Exotic House of Reptiles
