Came home to a wonderful surprise!!!!

CBH Jul 24, 2010 03:46 PM

After being out of town for 2 weeks I came home to this surprise! Both of my black russian sand boas dropped babies. There were 5 slugs and 6 live (including an albino). One of the babies has a partial stripe too!

Sorry for the crappy photo, I could not find my camera cord so a cellphone photo will have to do.

Thats fantastic! I love the blacks even more than the albinos. But then again, didn't know the albinos existed until a few weeks ago either.

Whats the story of that line???

Best,
Vinny

The first albino was produced last year by Jeff Holloway (http://hollowayherps.com). This is the second and was a total surprise.

Thanks. It seems that no matter how many animals that I have in my collection, I always seem to be missing something
