That's awesome- Don't you just love surprises? How old is Doctor Doom? As you know (I've posted about in the past) I've had similar experiences- such as with my then-15 yr. old rosy boa. I get the impression it's more likely to occur in older female snakes- it's as if their body hits an alarm button about their "biological clock running out" for offspring- so that's why I asked the age of your Dumeril's. Congrats- I hope your Miracle makes it & is healthy.

My god. I have never heard of this in live-bearing snakes. Please keep us updated and I will definitely be keeping my fingers crossed that little Miracle thrives.

It's not common but it happens, & has been reported in garter & rattlesnakes too. So either way (live or eggs), "nature finds a way".

She is a 2012 so 13 years old. Last year she cycled and threw all slugs so I just figured it was one of those odd things.

Whoops! Yeah, I was up very late last night/early this morning waiting for her to finish since I checked each neonate for signs of life, and then of course her enclosure needed to be cleaned out after she was done. So I'm running a little slow today.

That's okay, you have a good excuse.
