Nice ending to a horrible day

brd Jul 24, 2009 11:04 AM

Well, yesterday I got called into the office at work and they said, we are laying you off. So after fifteen and a half years of service I am now out of a job. So my day started off pretty bad. I am hoping that there will be a silver lining in the dark cloud that I am facing right now. So any way my last gravid female gave birth yesterday late in the day, so it brought me a little cheer. It was a Ghost litter. Nineteen babies in all, 1.4 Ghost Boas, 3.2 Hypos het Anery, 2.3 Anerys, and 1.3 Normals het Anery. The male was a Hypo het Anery and the Mom is an Anery that is 66% possible het Albino. I am happy to see everyone is having a good year. Thanks for looking at my post. Brian

Sorry to hear about your bad day Brian, but that's a great looking litter! What to you do and where are you located? Maybe somebody here could use someone with your experience - and being a fellow herper couldn't hurt ! Best of luck, and hang in there.

My father worked for Exo-Terra making over 100k a year plus
bonus's but they decided a few months back to drop ALL TOP PAID
EMPLOYEES.... Just a bummer all the way around. I hope things
work out for you in the end, and hope it does not get too hard
on you and your family. God Bless
NICE LITTER NONE THE LESS!! CONGRATS
