My male Sharp Snow was bred to one of my female DH Sharps (not his mom). He did a great job for being an 18 month old when he started the breeding. There were 1 Double Het Sharp Snow, 1 Anery Het Sharp Albino, 4 Sharp Albinos Het Anery, and 8 Sharp Snows! There was also 7 sweet potatoes and 1 not-fully-formed baby.

Mom (Cartagena) was nice and calm when I took her out of the cage. She looks great and took a rat with no problems which is always a good thing. I was able to get her out about 15 minutes after she was done with her contractions/delivery. She went to one end of the cage away from the babies, so it made it a little easier. She went 111 days POS and had been cruisin' around her cage for the past couple days so I knew she was close. With her going full term, none of the babies have yolk sacs and they all seem to be in great shape.

Here is a pile of snow ....

Thanks for looking!

Thanks Mike, I only have some pics of him from May of last year. Since the weather is finally going to be great this weekend here in Jersey, I will see if I can get some time for a new photo shoot outside. Here he a pic from May of last year with a female '07 Sharp from a separate litter (he is the larger of the two):

I will be sure to post some new pics of him on Sunday or Monday.

Very Nice litter Kevin!!! I guess there really is something in our Jersey water..lol.

7 SHARP SNOWS!!! WTF!?!?

Awesome outcome buddy....CONGRATS!!
Ryan

Thanks Ryan I appreciate it bro but it was actually 8 Snows (I couldn't resist). Who says Jersey water is bad?? Since the water can glow in the dark, maybe it makes for better litters !

Thanks Chris, they're definitely a great looking bunch of little squirmers (but I'm slightly partial, lol). Good luck to you this season, I can't wait to see what you unveil this year!!

What a great litter. Next thing you will tell us is the snows are all males. Your hard work with this project is really paying off.
Bill

Yep, all males - good call ! Just kidding, I haven't sexed them yet. Thank you Bill for the compliment, I really appreciate that, especially coming from you. May there be good mojo your way for your upcoming litters this year.

Not only a remarkable number of Snows, but I am probably more amazed that the male was only 18 months old ... my experience indicates that this is very unusual for a Columbian. I guess I had better keep my mouth shut when I tell people that Columbian males really need to be at least 2-1/2 years of age, preferably 3-1/2 ... so much for experience?

Once again, a BIG Atta Boy!

I guess I was too busy thinking about those Snows.

Thanks Bill for the kudos it means a lot coming from the King of Snows!
My little stud of a snow was leaving "presents" in his cage at 16 months. I hadn't planned on trying to breed him until this year (2009), but since he was leaving signs I thought I would give him a shot at the big leagues. I made sure to give him breaks every couple weeks and keep him fed to keep his energy level up. He didn't let up for the entire 3 months that he was with the female, the little horndog!

Thanks Kevin, it pales in comparison to your "50" litter with the 14 snows, but I'm definitely happy that's for sure!

Congrats, I can't wait to see how the Sharp Snows will look like in a few years. The young male is a stud.

Yep, he definitely is a little stud. Hopefully he will outperform himself next year....I just posted some new pics of him along with another Sharp snow that I have.
