Sonoran Desert Sidewinder giving birth!

This happened last summer, but I thought it was cool, and something that people usually don't catch. Here are some pictures of a sidewinder giving birth to 11 beautiful healthy babies.

This is mom:

Simply beautiful. I wish I had the nuts to have rattlers, well, I'd rather have eyelash vipers. Who knows, I might get a copperhead 5 years from now. LOL

I made this section because of you, hehe, glad to see you like it.

Thanks! Took you long enough to make it!! LOL, j/k, I'm glad it's here. I'll fill it up, just wait. :D

Great photos Jen! Thanks for sharing them. It must have been amazing to be there for the occasion.

Hey Godfather me and you got something in common the love for the Eyelash Vipers hehehehe I wanna own them someday. Jen thats awsome i wish i could've been there to witness that they're all so cute and armed to the nines lets not forget LOL. The only thing i seen live was a Garter giving birth to young in the wild. I picked it up not knowing what was happening and it shot a baby right at me LMAO. That was actually really cool.

That is SO amazing!! Thanks for sharing that!

You actualy keep those in your home?... I wanted a hot from zoologicalimports.com , but then just decided it wasnt worth keeping anti venom in my house, and having to handle it with those long metal rods everytime u gotta change there water and clean there tank. Nice pics though, something you dont see everyday =]
