Well, my anxiously awaited first BCI litter came today. Mom is Candy a very clean Pastel CBLT and Dad is a stunning Pastel Salmon from the Summit reptiles 2005 litter. Breeding between the two could not have went much more likr clockwork...

Introduced - 10/31, started courting the same day
Visual copulation - 11/16
Pre-ov (not noted)
Ovulation - 12/10
POS - 12/26

Due date from POS - 04/09
Due date from Ovulation - 04/11
Actual date - 04/13

Stats...

19 babies 12 - Pastel Salmon, 7 - Pastel
66.4 grams average, max 72, min 58
All full term no yolkers

observed most of the normals are some degree of CBLT while none of the salmons are.

I did snap a few pics, will take individual ones after they settle in...

This one has some pretty intense coloring already!!!!

Dave,
That is just awesome. I know you've invested alot of effort into your projects and your perseverance is going to pay off big time.
Can't wait to see post shed pics and the parade of new litters throughout the year.
I don't think you'll tire of seeing freshly born boas.

Thanks Paul, I know I won't tire of it but you all just might!! You think I posted a lot of pics before...

We don't mind seeing as many photos as you want to post, Dave (at least I don't)! It's a way for some of us to live vicariously through your wealth of snakes when we can't possess that many INCREDIBLE animals!
