If you guys remeber I posted a pic of my big fat female Iowa plains snow a couple weeks ago. I began putting my male snow with her in Feb but never witnessed any breeding activity. The female who I named Ruby last summer has NEVER refused a meal, but last night after a couple glasses of wine, when I went to feed her she had absolutely no interest, and I noticed a lot of the carefresh substrate was in her water dish, so I started watching her. She was pacing around in her cage with her tail up and twitching and she was very squirmy like she was trying to poop, and every now and then she would have a series of several "contractions" for lack of a better term. So, I thought maybe she was near giving birth, so I misted the cage real well and finally went to bed. This morning I got up went down to look and nothing. I had to work for a few hours in the afternoon and when I got home this is what I found, I am beside myself with excitement. 27 live babies and 4 slugs and 1 live but really kinked that I put down. Interestin is there is one baby that is cream colored, even the eyes are cream colored. I don't know if that is due to a lack of proper oxygen in the blood defect or a genetic variant, time will tell I guess, but if that babie survives and stays that way it will certainly be a holdback. Anyway happy mothers day to Ruby!
