Wilma - Bad / Good / Bad - news

rainbowsrus Aug 02, 2009 01:01 PM

Came home from vacation to find Wilma had just given birth, first thing I saw was some still born babies - BAD!!! Also saw several slugs - BAD!!! There was a baby slithering around - GOOD!!! Also found a few more babies in the moss box - Better!!

Stats......

5 live full term babies, all females
3 still born
10 slugs (but mom looks like she may have eaten a bunch already)

the group shot.....

Mom is fine, and a few babies is great. Too bad it wasn't as big a litter as I thought......
