I'd pretty much given up hope that my big eyelash female Circe, bred back in March, would drop babies. She hadn't seemed to be getting any larger in the last two months, so I figured it was a lost cause. Yesterday, I got home late after a heck of a Murphy's law sort of day....and when I went to turn the lights off in my viper room, I didn't see Circe in her usual spot. I walked over and noticed she was down low in the foliage on the ground...then I caught movement out of the corner of my eye...BABIES! I noticed a few, then a few more....then more and more.
Final count was 18 healthy, cranky baby fang faces! I am ecstatic and almost giddy. They're so tiny and adorable...little tiny mouths gaping at me, little tails drumming, little tiny strikes! <3/
I can't wait to get these little guys eating and off to new homes. I'm probably going to keep one or two for myself.
Here they are:
