This morning was like any other. I woke up at 4 am to get ready for work, got to work at 5 am. Although today I had to leave at lunch to take my lady to see a doctor, it was pretty much routine.
Anyhoo, we go to the doc, pic up her prescription, grabbed some lunch and came home. I went in to clean a cage and to feed the Iggy, when I took a look into one of my boa cages.
"Good Lord, thats a huge crap!" I am thinking. Little did I expect to see boas squirmin' around. I was pretty darn excited.
"Hey hun! The boa had her babies!" I yell to my girlfriend from the herp room. "She had her babies".
Thing is, my boas mated back in two weeks time way back in Mid-October, so it has been a good 8 months since. I gave up a couple months on any babies for the most part this year. I also thought I had 2 males and one female, but turned out I had 2 females and 1 male (Now I know why the one male was mating the other, eh). This "male" was probbed as well, go figure... So the female I thought was gravid I suppose is not, but maybe more luck? Saturday was my birthday as well, so it is my own belated birthday gift to myself...
I ended up with 9 live, 2 stillborn and 2 slugs, aint to shabby for a first litter and not expecting anything.
To the pics -
I took a quick pic of one that I really liked. All of them are pretty dark in coloration, with some having some of the fading on the sides like daddy. Mom is a really dark boa, which I like.
