Best regards,

This is the first litter I have produced of Fordii but according to TomC this is a typical litter in terms of numbers.
TomC had 2 litters, Peter had a single baby and I have these. I am not aware of any others born this year in the US but you know how that goes. There is always somebody somewhere sitting on unusual stuff and they are happy to keep it to themselves.

ANYBODY OUT THERE WORKING WITH THE WEST INDIAN/INSULAR BOAS? Come on out. Trust me, the light doesn't hurt....

Best regards,
Jeff
