hey everyone, just got back from a week long vacation to find a new litter if rainbow boas!!! 16 healthy, awesome little babies!!!!

The mom and dad that produced this litter are both beautiful brbs and they passed along their genes and then some on this one!!!! On my initial sort through I separated the babies and quickly palpated them, looks like a great ratio of 6.12!!!! My last litter was heavy on males, I'd much prefer this scenario!!!!!

Anyway, I'm pumped to have this litter on the ground and am going to post up pics soon!!!! I can't wait to show everyone their colors!!!

Just a couple pics I took real quick as I got all of the babies rounded up and into their individual tubs. These are just a couple of the stand out babies from the litter, there are others just as nice or nicer!!! I can't wait to see what they start looking like after their first sheds

Twinkies

I love the look of newborn BRB's still lotsa color with a promise of more to come!!!

Are the "Twinkies" twins? Or just hanging out together? Either way, cute pic.

Thanks dave!!! I definitely agree, I remember my last litter how shocked I was when I compared the first couple babies to shed to the rest of their littermates. One of my favorite things about BRBs is watching them color up!!

oh yeah, and almost forgot to answer your Q on the twinkies.

They are not twins, I just found them hanging out together like that. When I started messing with them they both were checking me out and simultaneiously getting ready to nail me, haha thought it was cute so I took a few pics!!

Congrats Ike, will be waiting to see the pics.

Of course you'll want to re-check the "females" to make sure you didn't miss any lil bumps.

just testing you (; haha good catch Dave. Meant to say 6.10. Still a good ratio, and I agree 100%, I will re check the suspected females once they get some meals and a shed under their belt.

posted a few quick pics btw

Hey thanks a lot Bryan! The female who produced this litter is a 2006 female from your JD x JR pairing. You were gonna hold her back but then ended up selling her to me back in late 2007.
