Congrats on a great litter. How long was the gestation period. Mine bred in Dec - Feb and is looking terrible. She has not eaten in months and is very skinny except her baby bulge. I'm worried.

Thanks a lot Tom and Coach.

Tom,
These are some of the babies I emailed you pictures a couple weeks ago. But these are more recent pics.

Coach,

The gestation period was 131 days, except for that baby with a thick stripe that was around 150 days, from a different female.
Nothing to worry about, it is normal that females loose a lot of body mass during gestation, but they can recover it in around 4 months after giving birth, if you feed them well (also depends on the female´s appetite and how much weight it did loose).

Thanks much. That makes it a little easier. I'm still worried though, she looks so bad.

Those are great looking. That is a needed animal in my collection. Those look about as green as they come, did they go through a full change while inside the mom : )

Thanks Sola,

No, they were all born orange. They are 9 months old in this picture.

I´ve never seen an Amazon basin being born green.

WOW! Those are some knockout animals! Congrats - they all look phenominal.
