June 23rd Sunglow Litter

BoaMorph Jun 29, 2008 03:31 AM

I have finally found a moment in which to get caught up with sharing a couple of our recent litters! This one was delivered on the evening of June 23, and the other that I'll post separately arrived the next morning on June 24.

This Groovy coral-line het albino that we produced in 2004 was bred by a DH sunglow, and had been looking good, but not great. She was one of those that we were just hoping wouldn't completely slug out, would go full term and give us SOME babies - we're not greedy, we don't ask for litters of 30 from all our girls, we only ask that they give us SOME. And, she did exactly that - mixed in with the 16 slugs, we were very grateful to see 1 sunglow, 5 66% possible DH sunglows, and 2 66% possible het albinos!

The first pic is through the glass and a bit flashed out because mama was a bit.....

.....attentive....

These are some really BIG, robust babies!

Sadly, the little sunglow had a couple of serious spinal deformities and after getting a few pics from his best angles we had no choice but to euthanize him.

Nevertheless, we were very pleased with the SOME that we got - it really does make all the cleanup go much more pleasantly when you know there are new little ones to look at when you're done!

Thanks for looking!

Nice litter Steve! Sorry about your little sunglow. She sure was pretty! Looking forward to seeing some post-shed pics of those DH's!
By the way, my new het male is doing great and enjoying his new home. He's a beautiful snake. Thanks again!!!
