I came home from work, checked in and she was fine, just sitting there. I go work in the yard and 15 minutes later my wife calls me from work saying she is watching the birth on the Boa Cam!

We had over 20 people online viewing the Boa Cam during the birth today. I hope you got a chance to see it.

Pink had 13 health Normal BCI, 1 deformed but alive and 2 pills. Pretty good for her first time. I guess we can mark off that 66% now that we have proven her to be a normal. That hurts, but I like the little normal wormies too! They are soo cute!

Thanks again for watching!

I didn't manage to see the birth, but I did get to watch you remove each one. Sweet none the less. Thanks for sharing!!!

My wife just had surgery on Tuesday, and today she was able to take a nice long nap. I thought I would check out your cam, and just leave it on while I worked on some other stuff on the net.
I was flipping back and forth when I noticed her tail moving around kind of differently... So I kept watching.. And then it happened. I was so excited... I tried to let everyone know on every site I could think of (Im sure I misspelled words in every single post).
It was like it was one of my own boas giving birth.

Congrats.

I had the cam corder going, the Boa Cam going as well as 2 different cameras that I just could not find the time to use. I got 1 still shot out of the entire thing! Oh well.. I have it all on video. I am very happy with her first try, only 2 pills and one very sad deformed one but 13 healthy normals.

I would really like to know the feeling of seeing a few Albinos and a snow or two in there for the next female though.

Thanks again

I watched that camera non-stop, everyday at work, for the past week or so.
Yesterday, right before I was ready to leave, I THOUGHT it looked like she was getting ready... and I MISSED it!
Congratulations on your little one's. I wish more people set up camera's like that! GREAT entertainment!
