    Well, that's a bummer, but triplets are not exactly hardy. I'm glad that one still made it and 7 is an awesome number! :gj:

    That's too bad about the triplets. I've never heard of triplets in snakes.
    Still got a nice bunch, though.

    If you look in the pic of the whole group, up in the right hand corner is the little het that is still doing good. The Albinos are a little harder to find, but they have the really bloated looking bellies.

    In your experience, do most triplets not make it?

    I've heard of twins and I've heard of them being fine. I've never heard of triplets before at all. I just wish they weren't coming out of the sac right after being born so I coulda got a quick pic, but they were ripping through immediately.

    Do you have any guess as to what happened?

    Yeah, I don't get it. Since there was one sac, I would think that they would be identical; which they weren't since there was a het in there. Are boa twins always identical?

    Your guesses are as good as mine. I have no idea. It was odd to say the least.

    Here is a comparison shot of the surviving triplet and another het:
