My Colombian Rainbow boa gave birth last night. I found the babies this morning. She had 12 live and two dead.
I had all care instructions for babies on my computer which gave me problems two days ago and I lost it all.
Can someone please direct me to some care info for the babies?
These are our first babies. I thought I could recall the care instructions on the babies but in the excitement I can hardly think!
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

DY,
... Congratulations. Baby CRBs are pretty easy to take care of. Provide caging with temperature in the mid 70s. They need high humidity for the first couple of months. After that they can do well with humidity from 50 to 75%. They are not quite as eager to start eating as baby BRBs. Most of them should eat a live hopper mouse within a week or two. I have had a few Colombian Rainbows that refused mice for first meals and later took rats that were just starting to get fuzzy.
Good luck,
Jeff
