motherly instinct

Pithons Jul 24, 2009 06:25 PM

Mother is in shed and so is one her of babies so I put them in a bucket of water. Funny thing is when I opened the cover, and after a few mins, the baby started crawling out. Once the baby left the bucket the mother started moving about rapidly. So I placed the baby back in the water bucket and the mother just relaxed. Well this mom didnt see the babies since 3 months ago when they were born. Seems like boas have a motherly instinct.
