    Woke up to baby snakes!

    I couldn't get a good video of them in the cage with their mother because it was too dark, but I caught her right as she was pushing out the last one before I left for work. They're all healthy and gorgeous! I can't even tell you how happy I am. Wish me luck getting them started!

    Update: Babies are doing fine! They're all 24-26g and their umbilical cords have dried up and fallen off. None have shed yet, but a few have begun cruising their tubs in search of food, which is awesome.

    After popping and close examination for spurs I'm pretty sure I have 1.3. Tempted to keep one of the girls, but we'll see how it goes.

    This has been a great first attempt at breeding. The babies are all perfect and active, their mother ate throughout the entire ordeal (one meal last Sunday and one today, I can bump her back up to smalls again now that she isn't full of babies), and she's still has good body tone and decent weight even after losing over 100g. I caughter her playing around in her skull hide earlier today:

    Not bad for her first litter.

    Update: The babies all shed perfectly and today I offered what I hope will be their first meal. Things didn't go as planned, though.

    The male was the only one who seemed to show any interest. Females #2 and #4 just slithered around aimlessly and #3 kept trying to escape. Little boy started getting nippy as I moved between tubs, so I picked the pinky up with my feeding tweezers and waved it in his face. After a few warning bites he took it!

    Enjoy your first meal, little guy!

    I tried the same thing with the girls, but no luck. Gonna leave the pinkies in overnight and hope they're gone tomorrow.

    Glad one of them ate so far! They are so cute and tiny.
    Congrats on the babies!

    Beautiful rosy boas. I want to work with these eventually.

    Oops, forgot to update this. They all ate after I left the pinkies in for a few hours. I offered f/t on Sunday and they took those without hesitation too! Then yesterday they had their third meal, also f/t. One girl wanted to eat hers in privacy, but the rest took them right off the tweezers. Regrettably, that means they're ready to sell.

    Sweet baby noodles. Rosies have such original personalities.

    Yeah, they're adorable. Girl #3 is going to a pet home. She's the most active of the bunch and I'm glad she's gonna be somebody's baby. I'm considering a trade with the other three, for a red phase western hognose girl, 66% het pink pastel.

    He's right here!

    They look a little more like him. His grays are slightly darker/more yellow than Mom's and the babies have a lot of yellow and peachy tones. Mom has a lighter/more neutral gray. Shy girl #4 is most like her. The rest are all like Dad.

    Morticia and Gomez sure make beautiful babies.
