Re: BABIES !!! Puget_Blues !!!

Holy Guacamole Marian!!! What great news! I'm green with envy right now! Can't wait to hear about they're progress, and I hope you'll keep a little blog-type progress report, like Terry does. A lot of people were waiting for this moment ;-). Cheers to you and your little ones,

Rick

Re: BABIES !!! Puget_Blues !!!

morning all ... When all was said and done we have SEVEN live babies and one stillborn. The still born was fully developed. Of the 7, one of them appears to have a slightly smaller body overall and seemed abit sluggish compared to the rest of the group when they are 'relaxed'. All look great and alert this morning ... I have them in shredded aspen bedding in a 7 something gallon, plastic reptile container. These babies are long, relative to the size of the adults, at least 8", each of them. Best of all the Mom looks just super !!! A little tired but she never looked better .. Honestly she never looked large enough to be carrying all of these inside her even tightly wrapped. I thought she might have been carrying 'jelly beans' as this is her first litter. The babies have a slight greenish/blue tint to them. At least one of them has a dark belly, the rest pale blue/green. I did take pics and promise to post them sometime today. More good news is I have another litter 'in progress', another gravid female. This second female ('stubby tail') LOOKS large so it'll be interesting to see how many she is carrying. Stubby Tail is in shed (blue eyes) right now so it'll be a little bit ... Promise my next update will have pics

Much, MUCH thanks to all for the well wishes ... This is truly a sweet forum !!!
