pops up unexpectedly?
Four years ago A local girl had a litter of BRB's that showed some promising dorsal striping. She brought them over and I bought 1.1 of them right then at 4 days old. The thought was to raise them up and see if I could get more dorsal zigzag striping.

Zoe in March 2011.
I finally bred the two this year, I felt Zoe was not quite up to size last year so I waited. She swelled up huge:
I do anticipate all my litters and while I was hoping for some nice Zigzag stripes, this was not a pins and needles, pacing the floor waiting for the babies kind of litter.
It SHOULD have been!!!!!
She had a modified due date of 10/12, being in a boaphile cage I used 130 days post POS for the due date. On 10/08, four days early, I walked into the BRB room to see the door all fogged up and this little gem in the corner on the right hand door hinge:
I saw some normal ones slithering around and then spotted this other gem by the left hand door hinge:
Of course like Cliff just posted there was a baby wrapped around the door lock and I had to tap and jiggle the latch to get that baby to climb down. This is the first one I had seen by the right side door latch...
After I pulled a few loose ones:
All 17 live babies:
There were 17 total live babies with 5 full or mostly striped babies.
How cool is this?
