PULLING BABY BOAS OUT OF THE CAGE!! YEA!! We were on our way out when my female hypo finally dropped her babies! We've been waiting on this girl all week and I must have been checking her cage out every five minutes over the weekend LOL.

This is her first time having babies and she did quite well if I don't say so myself! She was bred by my Jungle male and had a total of 28 healthy babies, 2 deformed babies, and 5 slugs. Some of the babies have good sized yolks still so we'll have to keep a close eye on them. I'm not sure on the exact Hypo Jungle to Jungle to Hypo to normal ratio just yet. It looks like 8 definite normals, 3 jungles, and 17 Hypo Jungles and regular Hypos. Some are a little difficult to tell apart but it looks like at least 7 definite Hypo Jungles. We'll hopefully be better able to tell once they've shed and gained a little size to them.

Regardless of the exact ratios, I'm thrilled and wanted to share some photos...

A neat picture...

A nice regular hypo...

Babies...

Thanks for looking!

Sell some, then go shopping. Better yet, sell some, go shopping, then go celebrate in the Quarter.

Tell Capone I said HI back and give him a pat for me! How's he doing? Good I hope! I wish we lived closer to each other and that way I could come visit and maybe him and Bauer could play!

Thanks,
Celia

That is such a beautiful litter... Those hypo jungles are seriously amazing... Jungles have always been on a backburner for me, but they have just jumped so many notches forward on my "To do" list... Congrats on that awesome litter.. Thanks a lot for sharing... Joe Lydon

You guys have got to be stoked... those guys look unreal!!!

Nothing like a killer litter and outstanding pics to showcase that litter. I'm sometimes amazed at the quality of pics some people have, or in some cases lack of, to show off these amazing litters. You could sell a poss het and make enough money for a good digital camera now adays!

Congrats again...

Hey Luke,

Stop by if you have the chance. They are really cool. I was hoping my female Hypo would give me some nice looking babies because she's a good looking girl and she certainly did give me some nice ones! Even the normals in the litter are good looking boas!

Thanks,
Celia

for your kind words! It looks like this season is starting off right, not only for us but for many others! Hopefully we'll all have great litters/clutches through the rest of the season.

This is really my favorite time of year

Thanks,

Here are some photos of my male Jungle. These photos are of him when he was younger. I don't really have any current photos of him except for breeding pictures. He isn't very aberrant but he has the classic Jungle coloration and saddle shapes.

Thanks,
Celia

I like the 3rd baby down with those block saddles.

the kids is very nice)

Hey Celia,
Nice looking litters. It almost makes me want to get into some boas. I guess I'll be by sometime today to have a look at some little ones. Good luck with all tots.

Good Job,
