Last night I discovered one of my prized boas, Reeses, had passed away. A few weeks ago while I was away he regurged his rat and apparently crawled through it repeatedly as it decayed, was a huge mess and left a greasy residue all over him. Got him cleaned up as best as I could and he seemed fine, was waiting for his next shed to "fix" his slimed skin issue. Did not eat last week and I was not surprised. Again, he seemed fine. Last night during drawer checks, found him gone. Good news is I have his genes in several babies and even had the nicest male just like him from his recent litter with Hershey still available. So got "Junior" now on hold for me.

(has shed again since this pic and lots more color came in)
Then this morning, found Sierra had delivered her litter finally. She had given me nothing, no clue as to when the babies were due, no ovulation, no POS nothing. She has been fat and preggo for some time now. I kept checking repeatedly over the last few weeks and kept finding nothing. Now there is a nice litter of Albino het Snows and DH snows. I did not have time to deal with them this morning so will get them all cleaned up and out of moms cage tonight. They were just born, most still in their sacks.
