The perfect litter arrived today!!!!!!.....................more

I will post pics later this eveing, as I am getting ready to go play paint ball. I went to check on my Boas this morning and my female Anery gave birth sometime between midnight and 7am!
She was bred to a Male Hypo het for Ghost and she is from the Ivory Anery Boa line. The litter was perfect!
No Slugs, No Still Borns, No defects, No premies, No yolk sacs out, in fact if anything would be said, they appear as if they stayed a day or so too long as they are very alert and do not have the big yolk filled bellies.
This her her first breeding and she did great with 25 perfect babies!
here are the numbers,
8 Ghosts babies
4 Hypo het for Ghost
8 Anery
5 Normal Looking het for Anery
I think the numbers fell my way on this particular breeding, I never figured out the exact ratio expected, but I really thought there would be more the 20% Hets/Normals in the bunch. the snake gods were smiling today!
Thanks
