3rd Sterling Litter

Maizeysdad May 20, 2013 12:56 PM

The third litter of Sterling Patternless Boas was born on Friday, May 17, 2013. It was a very small litter. Mom had a difficult time with parturation and the prolonged delivery resulted in a significant number of babies drowning before making it into the world. This was obviously a sad event, but the silver lining is that the surviving babies are awesome.

Despite giving birth on the 105th day after her POS, only a single baby was in an amniotic sac. Most of the cords where already retracting when they were born. No yolks. No chubby bellies. These babies were just in the oven too long.

For those of you with Sterling aspirations, availability will be very limited this year. Next season is coming!
