Litter #12 (LEMKE X DYER) - BCC

lrdj Aug 14, 2012 08:18 AM

Born yesterday evening (8/13/2012).....6 neonates (HUGE), 2 stillborn, and 3 inspissated eggs. Brazilians are probably our favorites in the collection. With this pairing we combined pattern, contrast, and tail.

This neonates are massive weighing between 118 - 128 grams.

Size comparison between a Guyanese BCC born a few weeks ago and a Northern Brazilian from the litter produced yesterday.

Another comparison between a yearling Sonoran Desert Boa "Super" (produced here last year) and a Northern Brazilian from the litter produced yesterday.

More neonates....

History of the parents....

Dam - Lemke produced in 2002 (Many thanks to Dr. Marcus whose adults came from Lloyd. The litter from 2002 only had two viable neonates the rest consist of slugs and stillborn. In 2009 Joel and I drove to Atlanta to pick her up. We kept her at the clinic for quite some time as she had a severe stomatitis and multiple abscessation in the gingival lining/lower mandible that took months to treat.

Ovulation....

Sire - Jack Dyer 2005 (Thanks to Mr. Joel Thomas for giving us the opportunity to obtain him). Pics don't do this animal justice.

I guess some of you may say where those tails on the neonates came from......Dyers gene pull the trigger. The pattern goes to the Lemke bloodline.

Thanks for looking!
