I came home yesterday from a little concert in the park type event, checked on my snakes and noticed Daisey was in the middle of having her babies. UGH, the camera did not have a memory card and I did not notice so all those pics were lost. I have reset it so it can't shoot without a card. I also noticed her next door neighbor Scarlett had a loose baby cruising around. Cool, Daisey was a few days after her due date and Scarlett was one day early. Scarlett actually beat Daisey by a small amount of time.

OK, realized the camera was missing the memory card and installed one......

Scarlett's cruising baby on the right side in the folds of paper..

Daisey's babies scattered around the cage.

Both cages in one shot....

This one thought it had a good hiding place....

This is the one that was out cruising, when I pulled it I was shocked at how colorful it was....

Scarlett ad dropped her babies in the moss and all but two were still in there....

Group shot mostly cleaned up. Lotsa color and lotsa crescent in these babies. I'm quite pleased with this litter!!!

A little better shot of Daisey's babies in the cage.

Dang, Daisey's babies are full of energy, I opened the tub to get some pics and it was all I could do to not lose one in the process!!!! Sorry, kinda hard to take good pics when your wrangling several babies at once. All in all a very nice litter of very colorful het hypos!!!!

Stats:

Scarlett x Rhett - 16 full term LARGE babies ranging from 32 - 36 grams each

Daisey x Mickey - 18 full term normal size babies ranging from 28 - 32 grams each.

I'm really digging the concept Mike started and I added to on determining due dates from POS. I have due dates on all my females and like these two, typically not that far off from actual delivery dates. I know I have almost three weeks until the next due date and so have a week or two of not pacing in front of the cages checking every few hours!!!!

Thanks Amanda, I was/am so happy to see a couple of nice litters after Wilma's not so stellar litter. Still amazes me every time I find a litter, it never gets old pulling lil slimers. I just wish more would come when I actually have time to check them out better as I pull them. Seems I'm always trying to get the task done so I can get a little sleep.
