A shot of Almandine's viv from early on in the birthing process. Only a few early squirmers have made it out of the nest to explore.

The pairing produced 20 babies in total. They range from 30 grams to 27 grams, with an average of 29. There were no stills, slugs, or birth defects (so far as we can tell).

More details will be forthcoming.

Thank you for reading,

Thank you all for the congrats!

It happened late Saturday, so I only managed to take picts, weigh, and separate that night. Sunday was picture processing and chores. Monday was work...and as you can see, I was up late to get the picts up at all. More picts coming as soon as I can find the time!

Thank you all again!!!
