TGIF

Ok, here's the question: in Jeff(boaphile)'s Reptile Mag article
he talks about double ovulation and how that seems to be
normal (I noticed a double ov. in one of my girls and poss in the
other but I wasn't sure)... so does this mean that approx.
half the babies in any given litter could be a few weeks
premature compared to the rest? (well maybe not premies, but
younger in development?) Has anyone noticed this? Or
even tho one ovulation occurs a week or two after the other
the babies embryos have still developed at the same rate and
therefor all the babies would be the same size/development stage?

ahh... time for coffee
thanks for any thoughts on this matter.. it's amazing the
tangents the brain can go off on when obsessing about gravid boas.
lol
