    A new Argentine litter

    Sadly she dropped a large amount of slugs this time around, but there were a handful of healthy neonates in there.

    Nice litter you have there!

    Decensored, boas don't lay eggs, they have litters of live young. Those reddish-yellow "eggs" you see are the folicals that never developed into neonates. The mother expels them along with the litter and they are referred to as "slugs" just like ball python eggs that are duds and never hatch are also called slugs.

    There's nothing like a pile of baby boa goo!

    Very cool! Congrats on the baby boas! The Argentines are very pretty and I think underappreciated!
