Missy had her babies!! I had been watching her on and off. I sat down to do some video editing, went to check on her about 15 minutes later and there they were! The little stinker!! I really didn't think she would have them last night, however I'm glad she had them on one of my nights off. So, I'm not too upset she had them while I wasn't looking



She had 6 Motleys, 3 Supers, and 3 normals. There was also 1 Super-preemie baby that was born dead (it was attached to a large yolk sack)and it was much smaller than the other babies. There were four slugs as well.



She had them on her 104th night past POS. They all seem active and normal, and I haven't seen any kinks. A few have yolk bellies, but they seem to be doing fine. I have only handled them when I changed their paper towels/container......I'm afraid I'll break one.....they are so little and fragile Even so, a couple have already tried to kill my fingers



I am truly blessed with these little ones. This has been a long wait that I have been looking forward to soooo much.



Thank you, Jeremy. It was worth the wait as I watched the parents grow and turn into beautiful, muscular, thriving adults. Murphy and Missy have been a joy to own and handle, and they have been wonderful eye candy!!



Missy is doing fine. She was a little grumpy towards the end of her pregnancy and would issue a hiss when I touched her. However, after the babies were born, she was fine with me taking them and her normal sweet self when I moved her to another enclosure where she enjoyed a juicy rat today.



Thanks for looking! MOTLEYS RULE!!!
