The BEST kind of suprise happened to me

skyslinger Aug 13, 2008 01:44 PM

today. You know, a suprise litter of babies! Well BABY! I too am a member of the one baby litter now! Nah, this 30 pound virgin pastel CBLT from 02 had been long ago written off because she wasn't "following the book". And yesterday after her refusing her 2nd meal of her life and in a row, I told my wife if I didn't know better I would swear she was pregnant. Low and behold I just went in the snake room to find 2 slugs, 4 stillborn, and 1 DH for striped albino. He/she is quite a looker with his mom's pattern. Wow and she has been fattening up for October eating XXXL rats two at a time until this last month. Crazy! She looks amazing as well. I will snap a couple pics and post them in a few moments!

Congrats and welcome to the surprise baby club. Cute lil fella!!

I had a similar situation, gave up on the female and was gonna feed her that night and found a small litter of four (one did not survive) so ended up only three babies so I guess I'm not a member of the one baby litter club

Ha ha ha that's a great story. I'd love to see a pic of the girl who can be gravid and eat 2 XXXLs all at once.
