Small Saturday Litter

Jeff Clark Sep 02, 2007 06:22 PM

...I am still in Florida and my daughter is taking care of the snakes. She called and said one of the BRBs laid 4 live babies, 5 stillborn and 3 slugs late saturday afternoon. After a good litter of Argentinain Rainbows and three perfect litters of BRBs this is my first disappointing litter of the year.

Congrats on the new litter, even though it is a small one. I suppose some live is better than none, and you'll be keeping your hands full with all those other babies anyway!

Jeff,

A small litter is better than none, and there could be some nice ones in the litter. I believe you have some more litters to look forward to, so do not let this get you down.

That's O.K. I 'm sure they're gorgeous. Probably all the beauty of a clutch of 30 packed into 4 little animals. Kinda like a sweet 100 cherry tomato. Mmmmmmmmmm... tomato.

Still having a healthy mom and a few babies is always better than the other outcomes so keep that chin up Jeff
