Mikes breeding numbers game!!

Yes....WOOOHOOOOOO, my first litter of 2006 finally came!!!!

Although I am 100% certain this is not any record setter, I'm just tickled pink to have any at all. Details:

10 live babies
19 slugs ( 18 complete plus 1 corner of the 19th)

Smallest baby - 25 Grams
Largest baby - 29 grams

total baby weight - 265 grams

Mom weight on 07/06 2771 grams
Mom weight on 08/10 2834 grams (63 grams weight gain with no feedings)
Mom weight on 09/09 after birth 1987 grams

Sorry but no pics yet, the camera battery is dead

BTW, this female is the only one who gave me squat last year.

Yeah, around 9 ish there was nothing, I found my largest BCI had left me a big smelly present I had moved her to a temp housing and cleaned her cage. Left it open to air out. Went back in around 11:30 not even looking at the rainbow cage (facing each other about 4 feet apart) and caught sight of a little worm hanging out on top of the hide box. WOOHOO, I knew what that was.

Wow, I guess I should have left them all but didn't want to impose.
