A few shots of the babies and one with mom. There were two piles of babies, the one in the open and another smaller group under the bedding. If my math was correct she dropped them on day 135 POS.
There are 24 perfect babies (well one or two have strange paintjobs no slugs, no DOAs. I have no idea what the ratio is yet.

Yeah, you could say I am happy.

congrats man! thats awesome. I'm still waiting for mine to drop, shes at day 131 and driving me nuts. one of the best things about longi's is that you get a whole range of looks in the litters even if the parents look the same. from arabish to motleyish patterns to fine almost pine stripe saddles and colors from silver (anery) to brown, black, even a few greenish and buckskin ones some times. even had a few yellow phase anerys (i think yellow is a co-dom similar to pastels in bci) that look like ghost when their first born. glade your litter turned out so while keep the pics coming.

Thanks Micah, she almost fooled me into thinking she was gonna pass this year but poof, I look in yesterday and see nothing but babies everywhere. I am still amazed that I didnt have one slug or DOA, just 24 perfect little copies of mom and dad.

My dilemma now is what to do with all these little ones?! Life is tough LOL...
