    Baby boas... What are they called?

    I called a litter of boas hatchlings, and was reminded that they are born live... Oops! So are they just plain ol' baby boas or what? Babies that hatch from eggs are hatchlings, but is there any other name for live-born babies?

    Re: Baby boas... What are they called?

    Well, "neonates" would be appropriate, I suppose, though unless I'm mistaken, that could also be applied to animals that hatch from eggs. "Baby boas" will of course do just fine too. On some level, as long as you're understood, it's all good, right?
    Mountain bikes are for slow people, and reptiles are far better pets than cats & dogs!

    "Neonates" or "New Borns" will work. Of course you could invent some words like "boalings"....

    Haha no, I was just checking. I hadn't heard another term, but I just wanted to see if anyone else had. Thanks!

    Re: Baby boas... What are they called?

    Neonates is what I call them, but I mostly use hatchling for those that came from the egg. I'm really likin' that boalings one though, seems to fit

    I think "Boaphyte" would also be a good name for baby boas. And that would be just boatastic...
