Thanks everyone, it's been fun learning about breeding boas. And thanks to those friends (you know who you are) who answered my questions patiently, your help is much appreciated.

It was not hard to pick which ones to keep, but it is hard not to want to keep more than a couple.

Maybe someday. Cool pics.
Are you housing them as a group still? Can you house those siblings together for a little while?

Classic, I have read that some people leave them all together for a while, others seperate them right away.

I haven't read why they all pile up on one another. I wish our temp gun was working, I'd love to see the temperature of the mass of babies compared to the cool end they are at. We have wondered if maybe they aren't piled up together to increase their temperature. Maybe it is for security? You would think in the wild they would be better off to separate, to increase the chances of survival for most of the litter. I've got some reading to do.

We are just heading down to separate them. We likely won't set each one up individually at this point, probably 4-5 per tub right now. We've been anxious to sort through them and take pictures of some of the ones with aberant tails, high white and red tails or really classic markings.

Thanks Gary and Linds.

I have been contacted by 2 people on the forum who will be able to help me get a cable and card for my computer to be able to do so. They really want to see me get bit by the scrub python.

I am putting some VHS tapes together, of cool reptile things I've recorded since I got the camera (3 hours of digital tape), for a few schools in the area. I would like to be able to make DVD's as well, and edit the video somewhat professionally on the computer. Anyone who could offer help with that, please pm or email me.
