I still say that litters with more than one little lonely baby are more fun:

Who prefers litters with one baby???

I like to see more than one baby from a litter particularly when
it is a unique litter where comparison of siblings highlights the variation within the litter. I find this very instructive.
From no babies a short time ago you now are on quite a roll. Congratulations.

Now thats what I'm talking about-sibling rivalry is a good thing!
Keep it up and you will be making Scoria like boas!

Here is the Mommy:

A runt at birth by the way. First runt I raised up to breed successfully. If you call this successfully that is. Smaller than the others in the litter, she was only about 12" in length at birth, with more like 17" - 18" being a good average for Colombians, and probably weighed about 35 grams. She is about 5 1/2' now at five years of age. She had a MASSIVE litter for her size. Um, wait a minute. I mean one neat baby which is doing well now. I HOPE it's a boy. By the way, her Mommy was the Monster Tail.

Here is the Daddy the day he was born:

He wasn't a runt but was short changed in the pattern department. He wasn't a runt at all and thankfully was able to breed successfully this year as an 18 month old little fellow.

By the way, here are a couple shots of Mommy and Daddy taken a few months ago:

and again:
