My son (who is 7 1/2 yrs. old) finally convinced me to let him have a snake around a month and a half ago. I will let you all know right now that I am not a snake person and have been tolerated living under the same roof as his snake. My husband and son have been caring for Slither and just last week tried pinkie mice with no luck. Well this morning my son was estatic to find that Slither had babies! (I believe that there are around 6-7, with one that died in the sac. I was unsure if the process was finished so I would not let him open the cage for fear that he would disturb Slither, so I will not know the exact count until he is home this afternoon.) I told my son I would do as much research as I could while he was at school so he would know what to do now. Any help or links would be greatly appreciated. I am going to start reading through all the threads to see what I can find out.
