Thanksgiving litter of Peruvians!

davel Nov 29, 2005 01:23 PM

Hey guys, sorry, I have been away...work, stress...you know.

But I just got a litter of 19 babies and 3 slugs on 11/27. The sire was a 2003 Jim Peters Peruvian, and the dam was a 2002 Yagi Peruvian (some of you may remember her as "Centerfold".



Lots of great pattern variations.

Why is she in such a small box?...it is a long story.

Your female is truly an awesome animal and it showes in those babies! Can't wait to see some individual pics after they shed! Congrats!

I did take individual pics of the whole litter since there was so much variation in the pattern. They are a day old, so they are ugly still.

Here is a link to my Gallery.

Hopefully I won't get in trouble for linking you, but it is only a "gallery"

I was really surprised as it was one of those on again off again pregnancies.

I even handled her many times during pregnancy, not knowing. I was moving the cages around, so she was housed temporarily in the rack for a week and that is where she dropped...lol.

That female that gave birth to those babies is gorgeous! I bet those babies will grow up to be some spectacular looking boas!! A nice little Thanksgiving surprise indeed!

Thanks,
Celia
