I need a hug.

boaphile Mar 30, 2008 04:23 PM

Well, here we are. One week since I began whining like a little baby, and what do we have? Absolutely nothing. No babies, not a one. Still I pretend to wait patiently. I pretend not to have digestive difficulties as a result of my constant worrying. No, I'm not worried. What's to worry about right? I haven't had a baby since long ago last year. Here it is the second to the last day in March and still no babies. Nobody wringing out that baby Boa/goo combination for me to smell over the aroma of my morning coffee. No goo under my nails. No treats of Momma nailing me for daring to enter her special birth chamber where she awaits any intruder. No bouncing off the wall with glee to find those little gray guys I love so much. No. Not me. I have not such a burden. At least not yet. Still... my baby Boa bucket sits waiting with clean unused aspen in it. Still I can only report, again, no babies, not a one.

I need a hug.

Jeff:

The funniest thing just happened. My wife walked by just as I began to respond to your post. If there was ever any doubt in her mind that snake breeders are an unusual group of people, that doubt has gone away. She's now wondering why I'm sending this guy named Jeff a hug over the internet. I tried to explain to her about your lonely place and she's just shaking her head.

She's wondering if she needs to start monitering my computer time.

It's amazing the amount of trouble I can get into without even trying.

Hang in there buddy. I'm sure you will have your hands in the gooo very soon.

My wife sends her best.

Like you I'm waiting on my first litter as well, not due for another 10 days and once that one comes I've got em spread out over the next couple of months. Then the Rainbow season will start so looks like I'm gonna be busy for months with all the new babies!!!!!!

... boa therapy like most of us!! lol. I know what you mean though and the countdown is on... less than a month now until my first litter... lets hope its a good one!

Tracy Barker Mar 30, 2008 09:35 PM

to look at our pic to make you feel better until your babies get here. We know this is a hard time of year-heck do you know what it is like being in the dark for 125 days?!! Trust me, your guys want to get out just as badly as you want to get them out. Do you think this goo feels great? We have been dreaming about a nice clean paper towel and a sip of cool water to drink in our cozy little shoeboxes!

Somehow that picture didn't make me feel any better. Sure I feel better that those babies are out there somewhere in Texas, but I still have that longing feeling in my little heart for some of my own little babies...

I guess I was laughing at your expense Jeff. Sorry just trying to make myself feel better. I get up several times throughout the night and check on one particular female.Still nothing,she has me worried too,very thin.Hasn't eaten in about 4 months .So she has to be close,she never eats when she carries.Lar M
