I am glad you are taking this well.. I myself had my only bred female last year drop 22 pills (which was my fault, as her heat source went out and I did not notice until it had detrimental repricussions on her litter). Hopefully Raindrop will produce a big beautiful litter for ya to help make up for this current one..

Thanks Randy!I am dealing with it,I need a good kick in the butt though!But in a way it was my fault an in a way it wasnt,I just didnt know what to do!But now I do!So If their are any premmies in raindrops litter then I know exactly what to do now!She has tried to nail mr twice today during misting,she thinks I took her babies!Does she not realize they are dead?Hopefully she calms down cause she was very docile before today!It saddens me that they were dead but it could have been worse,I could have woke up to 22 pills,3 premmies an a dead boa,so I count myself lucky!The 3 babies were amazing too 1 looked like momma,an the other 2 looked like daddy,they had solid white an clean bellies!Oh well Ill try again next season!Thanis again!Eric[Hypoboa]

If she is still acting agressive take her out and put her in a luke warm tub of water to wash her off.. Also wash her enclosure off to remove the baby smell.. Some females will become and remain aggressive after birth up to the point they can no longer smell the babies..
