super mom

I got home from fatboys Saturday night and one of my girls had 19 baby's and so far hasn't lost any.Whats your largest litter?

That's a lot of babies! By the way, I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate you, Heather, and Samuel helping me.

If you can't call on a friend when your down who can you call on. You let me know if you need me!! What did TODD think? How my girl doing?

That's weird...I just got 19 out of one of my females too. She was in a tub with another female and I just assumed they put their babies together, but I noticed the other momma was still softball sized! This is the largest litter I've had and they are about a week old. Definitely keeping the females back for future breeders.

Todd was excited about the room, he helped clean Sunday. Your girl is fine, letting her settle in a bit and will introduce the Cinny this weekend.

I got a fawn hooded male that is a stud. He has fathered 87 babys from 6 mothers.

Yeah I just had 2 females pop within a day of each other, I don't know who's babies are whose since they're in the maternity cage lol but I do know that when I opened it up there were 36 babies in there! It was the first time breeding one of the females and the other one only had 5 in her last litter! Needless to say the small snakes ate good tonight, none of that frozen thawed carp around here!

The biggest I ever got was a dozen pups, the smallest was four. I did have a rather cute occurrence with my last litter though.

They were all born on the same day, August 31st.
To identical Himalayan moms, sisters.
And the litter numbers, I kid you not, went 9 - 10 - 11


It was so friggin' adorable x)

Largest 11 2 nights ago, and the smallest was 5 also 2 nights ago

Nice, largest iv had was 14, and the smallest was 10

first rat litter to a first time mom and she had 13 pups. so far I see milk bands on the pinks, but I can't tell if they all have milkbands. she is by herself in the tank. I tried to put the other female in with her days before she had her litter and she was beating up the smaller female. :( how soon can I put the male back in with her without endangering the newborns?

Well a rat can get pregnant immediately after having a litter. I would wait til the babies are at least weaned though before putting the male in with them.

thanx Adam.. thats what I figured.
