Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Came home from the Sacramento show last night to find Savannah had dropped her litter. Was not there Saturday morning and they were all out cruising around and pretty much cleaned up. From that I assume the were born in the wee hours Sunday Morning. And let me say right here, right now....

WOW!!!!

While not something I would want to do a lot of and most definitely not keep doing for subsequent generations, breeding Phoenix back to his mom was well worth the risk of condensing of the gene pool. I see lots of keeper quality babies in that pile and not one single low color baby!!!!

13 babies, mostly 26 grams(9 ea) or 27 grams (3 ea) and one smaller one at 24 grams.

3 slugs

Born at POS plus 120 days, that makes my average geastation this year at 116.5 days after POS. Pretty close to my estimated 117 days.

They were already out and cruising so no "in the goo" pics but here's a group shot...

Well, Dave did say he inbred the parents, so maybe one has two heads. I think it's more likely, however, that Tim is hitting the sauce again while web surfing...

meee never muhahahaha

Pretty good, here are the 11 most of you found.....

And I even marked where I think Cliff was talking about a 12th.

But there IS one more to be found unless I misunderstooed where Cliff was saying but then again, he did say eyes......

Original pic with 11 identified......

Blowup of middle area showing #12 below and to the right of #4, you can see just the tip of nose and left side upper lip scales...

BTW, I only found it looking for the one Cliff though might be showing "eyes" in another pile further to the right.
