Woke up this morning to my gravid female Stella pushing out the first baby...

Five babies out so far...thre are two live albino Roswells ....one is healthy, but the other had a huge yolk...don't know if it will make it...

also have an albino and two beautiful hets....it's wonderful mom is letting me take pictures...she's just watching...

In this picture the baby just out is the second albino Roswell...

I'll get more pics up when she is done...

Heather, the Roswells are amazing and a huge leap for the boa world, but most of the boas in that litter are great looking! What a fun pile of babies that must be to clean up! Good luck with them and get a ton more pics up as soon as you can! Those albino Roswells are outrageous!

Congratulations!

0.2 kids (CBB, a big part of our selective breeding program)

LOL, to many snakes to list, last count:
26.49 BRB
20.21 BCI
And those are only the breeders

lots.lots.lots feeder mice and rats

Werent those parents 66% hets? lol I cant remember.

It is pretty badass to see it was genetic though now you must save roswell and his albino half siblings to see what happens if you breed them together. (only of course if they are female )

Looks like she's done...glad I got those babies out of there...she tagged me pretty good when I was wiping up the muck...

I still need to clean and separate them to get a final count, but this is what I can see so far...
3 albino Roswell
3 66% het albino Roswell
2 albino
about 18 66% hets...lots of nice ladders in there too
5 slugs

Here are some more pics, and I have video I'll put up later. Back to the cleanup...

And this was her thanks for me 'helping'...she was totally calm the whole birth...even when she saw me picking up the babies...but when I got in there with the paper towel, wow she let me have it, LOL

As much as I was hoping, I never really thought lightning would strike twice...that this girl has the gene too is just amazing!

I would have been happy with one healthy baby....but this, 6 of them...I have no words...

Awesome litter and pics, Heather! Big time congrats!! Even the "normal" albinos and "Normal" poss hets are really cool. My Lipstick line albino female tagged me also really well on the wrist when I was removing her from her awesome motley het albino babies. She had always been mellow and trustworthy before having those babies. Congrats again. I bet your head is spinning!

Now this is an absolute MUST HAVE for me as I am a freak for striped snakes!!!!!!

Darn it.........why'd you have to go and prove them out ??????? Now I have to spend more $$$

WAY TO GO!!!!!!!

Heather big congrats on proving that the Roswell is in fact genetic. Those babies are amazing and quite stunning with such perfect striping. Wish you good fortune with your new discovery and many happy days to come. Thanks again for showing us the pictures. Andrew

My Roswell stock just went up!

Congratulations. One question though, did you tie the yolk sack off already? It might have been better to isolate that little guy in a deli cup and let it absorb some of the yolk over a 12 to 24 hour period.

Congrats again,

Warren, the umbilical was wound up all around the little guy...I was worried he was going to strangle...the yolk fell apart while I was untangleing him...

I did tie it off to keep him from bleeding...I would rather have let him absorb it but he was tied up in the cord pretty good...

We'll see what happens..he is half the size of the other babies...

CONGRATULATIONS. Pure diamonds.
Looks like there are hiden gene in some square tail !

>> Looks like there are hiden gene in some square tail !

I think the striping/roswell effect is from the BCc influence.

Congrats Heather, I bet it feels good to get the results you were hoping for! I like some of those hets with the awesome laddertails.

Congrats. Those are some amazing boas...even the normals are fantastic. Was there a motley in one of those pics? Glad to see it was genetic and not a product of temp fluctuations or some other anomaly. I can't wait to see pics after 1st sheds!

Thanks! I saw the 'motley' lookalike as well...one of the roswells had a perfect laddertail instead of a stripe on the last half of his body...very strange....
