Sharing the good and the bad

Just wanted to follow up with all of you on our expected hypo pastel litter. The female dropped her load this evening, and it contained 1 hypo (premie) 1 hypo and normal stillborn and about 10-15 slugs. I stopped counting. Anywho, this stuff happens, and it goes to show, that no matter what you may think you know, or no matter how much money you spend. Breeding boas is not easy, it takes skill and patience.

On a lighter and brighter note, all the babies from our previous litter seem to be doing really well

Keep plugging away. I can tell from talking to you that you are a good person. I think the future holds great breeding success for you. Take care, Chris Ginkel

Sorry to hear about that. I've been there. No words that I can express can capture how much that stinks.
Sorry man. Glad to hear the others are doing well.
How's the Monstertail doing. Will she have her litter soon?
John

I had a litter of all slugs and preemies this year.They appeared to be about a week early and as well as being hypo het for Albino,were also extremely strangely patterened.

At first I was very upset,but then I calmed down and put things into proper perspective....Then i went outside and tampered with my mother-in-law's brakes and she crashed into a tree.It helped to relieve the stress.

Tim.....You are so crazy. You need to bless us with another funny story.

Chris, I'm so sorry to hear about your litter. Best wishes and great Karma for next time.
