They aren't Jungles, Motleys, or Arabesques but.........

They sure made us happy yesterday. Kathy and I had a nice healthy litter of "Normal" boas last night.
It looks like 19 nice healthy wiggly babies and only 1 infertile ova. We are very pleased that at last we have enjoyed a bit of success breeding our boas this year. Hopefully next year will bring something a little more exciting!

to have gotten all these babies this year, Gray!
Much like you, Kathy and I love our "Normals" as much as any of our other boas. Being able to actually witness the miracle of birth has made every bit of our efforts worthwhile.

I bet it's a great feeling. Anything else in the oven?

It was so incredible to witness the birth of these kids that I find it difficult to explain. I can't wait to see when you get a litter.

Kathy and I are trying to produce some Pastel albinos early this season. Got a BIG 7 1/2 foot girl swelled up right now, but she has yet to ovulate. We have our fingers crossed on this one!

That has to be so much fun experiencing the birth of a litter of boas.. seeing all the variations and initial development. Got my fingers crossed to experience that for the first time this upcoming season, wish me luck!

drimes Aug 31, 2005 11:38 AM

It was sooooo cool watching those babies being born. Even better than I had hoped.

I hope to be congratulating you soon too!

Denny

move around in a BIG pile. These are some big babies too, some of them bigger than the few we had born 3 weeks ago who have fed 2-3 times!

Kathy and I are waiting to see what you produce this year too, Linda. You always have some of the coolest boas!
