premature baby boa's - Page 3

Thank you for all your kind words and help. 7 are still alive not moving that much but definately breathing. I have bred with the mother before 3 times and everything was fine. Usually she stops eating half way through the pregnancy but she didn't this time so i assumed she still had a while to go. she ate a rat on monday and i think that must have caused the premature birth.

imve had no experience with premature reptiles at all im afraid. the best i can say is i did hear your not to feed them untill the yolk has gone.
this is a hard call to make so maybe a trip to the vets is needed and get a professionals opinion.

Jeff Ronne returned my email saying all he knows is to keep them warm and damp and that he can't remember the last time he had a baby like this end up making it

Wish it was better news Chloe. We're all still pulling for you and the babies...

You should document your findings and progress and enter it to the herptile as an article for IHS??

Chloe, hope the little ones are doing okay. How hard for you.

crzy_kevo · 07-04-2008, 06:43 PM

any new news on the babies?

jitami · 07-07-2008, 12:17 PM

Chloe, how are the babies doing?

I don't subscribe to the "no news is good news" theory... I'm way too impatient... but in this case I'm really hoping it's true...
