Baby boas, finally, whooo hoo!

I was gonna post this in the boa forum, but I'm pretty pumped about the babies, so I posted it here.

As some of you know, we have been awaiting baby boas in the last 2 weeks. We’ve been going down to the zoo many times in a day to try and catch them being born.

This morning we went down as soon as we woke up, Sheila had felt like going down in the middle of the night, and I felt like today was a bit different as well. It also snowed last night.

This is what we saw when we rounded the first corner.




This is the first time we have produced boas, and seeing all of the different looking ones in the group sure is fun. I got to video most of them coming out of the umbilical sack, you could tell that the ones in the corner were the ones that came out of the female first, they were all the first to come out of their sacs.




Some have really nice tails, some have circle backs, some have widows peaks like mom and dad.




They were products of our 2 favorite boas. Some of you know Fang’s story, well, Fang is a daddy now. Both snakes, Fang and Alice, are the most docile boas I’ve ever met.



And there are a few that look really different at this time. Some have pink sides, but there are 2 or 3 that are pink and faded looking like this one.






We’ve counted 33 live babies. There were 4 non developed ova, and no still borns. We are pretty happy for our first time breeding boas, we figured we better practise before we were trying for salmons.

will be making a section on the webpage with more pictures of the babies, pictures of the female in various stages of gravidity, as well as pictures of the dad Fang, and his remarkable story.

It will be up by tonight, check it out www.scaleszoo.com

Pm box is no longer full, thanks.

These 33 boas were born on the 3rd day of the 3rd month, and we've had the adults for 3 years. 333, that is half evil - ooh, scary, haunted boas for sale.

Ryan - thanks for posting those pics - so many and such good ones! - so soon. That must be an awesome sight. Its hard to get a size reference - about how big are they? Do you plan to keep any for future breeding projects?
