Another "how many babies" guess?

liquidleaf Jun 22, 2007 11:57 AM

Here's the female '03 suri that I'm still waiting for to drop (if she is gravid her due date was 6/15).

If she's gravid, how many do you think she'll have given her size? She's 8.5 feet long for reference.

Anyone think she's not gravid?

And perhaps there WILL be a prize if all turns out well!

Well, this is just a guess but I'd figure 34. More would be nice, but I say 34.

I rolled a set of dice and it came up with 31 but I'll wager 21 alive and healthy.

Good luck, she's a pritty Mama.

That is one nice suri. I'll guess 32

Woh! Guess I might have to build another couple of racks! Since I've still been wondering if she was even gravid, I wasn't prepared for such enthusiastic numbers. Still nothing this evening, though her lumpiness looks like it's moving even closer to her vent area. Time will tell.

So, are your guesses for actual babies, or babies slugs? I would imagine babies slugs would be fairer since you're going on a photo and her size.

If there are enough healthy babies, the closest guess before she actually drops will get one (after enough feeding) if you pay the shipping! If there are duplicate guesses, the person who posted that number first claims that number.

Heh, 'how many jellybeans are in the jar'?

I meant "babies PLUS slugs" in the post above - forgot the plus symbol doesn't show up in this forum.

Hey you didn’t specify live babies slugs when I made my prediction! I’m sticking with 21 live because you can’t sell slugs and stills.

So, if it means I will be disqualified if I don’t guess what the whole lot # is, I’ll say 21 what I did in my first post, 21 live, 31 total.

How exciting for you, it’s like being 6 and waiting for X-mass morning! Good luck!

joker122104 Jun 22, 2007 10:12 PM

liquidleaf Jun 22, 2007 10:39 PM

Joker, someone else already guessed 32... sorry. Try guessing a number someone hasn't already!

Arg. Post ovulation shed was somewhere in the range of Feb 28 through March 2nd. I figured the 105 POS day to be June 15th, which would make June 24th (Sunday) Day 114. Still nothing. I'll keep hoping until around the 4th of July - then I'm wondering if I should take her to the vet. Or should I just keep a-waitin'? Sigh.
