Well we had another great litter today to end our 2004 season. We bred a Male Sipperly Surinam to a female Surinam that is a fairly short-term captive and got a nice litter of 23 babies and 1 slugg! She birthed for us on her 111th day post P.O.S.
She came in around 18 months ago and was cleaned up prior to her first captive cooling cycle. She did well through the cycling so we figured we would give her a shot when the temps came up. She did great for us and really surprised us with the size of her litter. She is a smaller female right around 5 1/2ft. It was pretty exciting to have a WC female breed on her first cycling, let alone our first attempt with her!
The babies are great looking and should color up nice. Below are pics of the adults and litter.

Now we need to gear up and start planning for next season!
Thanks for looking and take care!

He is really nice!

Today's litter is fathered by the same Sipperly male that fathered your's pictured above. He is from WC1F and today's litter is from WC2F. I know I should have better names for the females, but they are really just ID#'s for reference! LOL
He looks great and looks to be growing well for you.
Thanks for the pic.

Just curious how many litters did you end up with this season?
Thanks

I think it was 22 litters, out of 31 ovulations. I might be slightly off, but it is definitely *real* close.

I always find it's a bit of a letdown for a day or two after the last litter is born. After all those months of anticipation and excitement, it seems like a long wait for next year. I'm sure you've got plenty on your plate though taking care of all those babies. I'm fortunate in that I still have a couple to go, and I think there's some luecistic ones on the way. Congrats again on an outstanding year!
