....that baby boas are pretty cool. After keeping boas for 25 years, I finally tried my hand at producing babies. Rita (a normal and first-time Mom) was bred by Jeronimo (a Harlequin) and gave birth on the 105th day POS. 17 live and 1 unfertilized. I consider this to be a very fortunate result for a rookie like me. I even got to see about 6 of them enter the world. Here are a few photos to share:

.....he sold me both the mother and father of the litter. Then I traded the father back to him (after he bugged me for a year and a half!!!). Thanks for the photo Brendan. I miss that guy. Give him a big rat as a special congratulatory treat.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
I'm REALLY happy that you got to see the birth!
That's THE BEST part of breeding boas IMHO.
Those harlequins are some sexy beasts in person/snake
Don't play with them so much that you take the color off them lol.
