This litter of Brazilian Rainbow Boas was born here this morning. The mother is Ria. She was born here in 2003 (I think that is right). She is not real big and so this litter of 15 live healthy babies with no slugs or stillborns is better than I expected from her. The father of this litter is probably a male I got as a baby from Tom Davis in 2000. This litter is not related to my first two BRB litters of the year which were both fathered by Branco. I only saw some courtship in february between the Davis male and Ria. The babies in this litter are long and slender. I picked out three at random and together the three of them weighed 94 grams. I will sex them after I get some sleep. This litter makes a total of 65 Rainbow Boas born here so far this year. 56 of the 65 have been Brazilians.

Tired mom afterwards.

Congrats on the litter Jeff and don't forget to feed mom before you catch some z's cuz I bet she is huuuuuuungry
Bob

Really jealous / depressed. I'm STILL waiting on my first litter. Several of you are all done and there are lots of babies already born but nooooooo, not in my colony.

Congrats on such a good litter from a new mom!!!

This is a very nice looking rainbowboa....Lots of the characteristics that I look for, clean color and nice side crescent markings. I bet these babies will grow up to be awesome.....
Congrats!

i stay up till 5am waiting for snakes to come out the eggs then sleep all day and you have babies seesh lol btw 4 of 7 snakes are out the egg and in there new cage so it was worth stayin up lol. very nice litter jeff

Tim,
...How about posting PICs of some noses coming out of them eggs. I miss having eggs hatching. It really is a lot different than finding a big pile of really messy BRBs.

come out of eggs are friggin' awesome, it's like watching the miracle of life or something but it is very moving though (to me at least)
Bob

i am not sure if you will see this or get this but i will post lots of pics once everyone is out of the egg and in there new cage i took pics only like one or so of a head sticking out but i got lots of nice pics well i think nice i was awake ALL night last night this is my first morph i have produces yeah its a pastel and there cheap but you know what i was so stoked so in the next day maybe two ill have a nice thread posted wioth pics talk to you then

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments. I got a couple hours sleep then got up and went to a very boring staff meeting. I tell you this semi-retired thing is not quite as easy as I was hoping for. I am still too stupid tired to sex baby snakes.
