Verry sweet sucses rate man I just like to show ppl just how good your stock is considering I got my stuff from you last FEB.
And I figured you would like to see how your babys are doing.
This is the female you sold us (Jade)

I would strongly encourage any one that want's a boa to e mail Jaime while suplys last they are the best snake in our collection!!
Very nice!
BTW, a slug is an infertile egg... that big orange thing in the pic is a infertile boa egg.

You shouldn't charge people alot for the slug, $10 tops. Very nice snakes and ratio, congrats!:D

I like the second, third and forth pic; they were kool. Put that first picture almost made me sick:medpuke:.
If you havent already, you should take the last baby to a vet just incase, doesnt look like he's to happy to me.
Good luck,

Jamie,
Congrats! Keep us updated on the little guy, too! :D
Reptilez,
Usually vet trips aren't an order for this situation. Most of the time deformed babies are freezered right off the bat, its nice to see it when people are willing to give them a chance. But it is best to let nature take its course without intervention. If the snake can manage with its deformity, all the best, if not... well its better that way :(
32 babies! Congratulations!! I'm glad you're rooting for the little one. If he makes it, he will definitely have character.

Well, that depends. That slug looks like an Amelanistic slug, so its probably worth at least $20. You should see what ghost slugs and piebald slugs are worth. Like, you totally couldn't afford it dude.

If the deformed baby makes it, are you going to sell him/her? keep him, give him away???? They are all beautiful snakes!
Well right now the deformed baby (Leroy) is going through his first shed with a few of his littermates and then the next big step is eating. If he starts to eat then he should make it and live a full healthy life with us as everyone here can't get enough of him. He will be given the best of everything to help him live the most enjoyable life as possible. We have taken a few animals that have "handicaps" on as pets and we have plenty of room so we have our fingers crossed that he/she eats.

JAMIE:
Congrats on the litter.
Do not sell the slug........lol, but study it or donate it to zoo research or a vet if they want it.
And Leroy, too bad but I hope your not thinking of selling him, we must all keep good genetics in the market and deformities like that or worse should never be sold or passed into the market, just my opinion.
Good luck and congrats again.

Tony,
I would never think of selling Leroy and I totally agree that the market should stay as pure as possible. Givin his deformity and needs I would only trust him with me, I have a bunch of rescued and mistreated herps that are pets and would never be bred for the fact that it would be too hard on them and they can enjoy life as a pet and not a project.

I'll have the deformed baby off you... I'm disabled & in a wheelchair, I'd call him "Mini me" Or because of his lip.... ELVIS. If only I knew the customs laws for U.k.
