So in summary momma had ONE baby on Friday morning, ONE baby Saturday afternoon, and TWELVE babies on Sunday. As I have said before there were 4 stillborn and I would expect that the extended delivery time had a hand in this. This isn't a large snake, in length, so I would suspect that this was her first time giving birth; so I feel that she did good!

Well here are a few pictures of the little ones, ill add better ones after the first shed.





Hows this for a tongue shot? lol




These are the little ones that didn't make it, I figured the least I could do was take a few pics of them.

Just a little update:
The babies have their own home now and since the final babies were born on Sunday, 6 out of 10 have taken worms with no hesitation. The other four that have yet to feed look great so hopefully they will begin eating soon.

Thanks for reading!

Another update only minutes later!! lol as i was reading posts on here i had set a container with the 4 babies that have yet to eat beside me, i look over and one if eating and another is trying to take it from him (yes I know its dangerous to feed as a group but i find it helps with snakes that are slow to take food). So that 7 out of 10 and I would expect the thief to feed anytime now!

Great news! The babies look fantastic, congrats. I'm sure you'll have the rest eating in no time. It's always the most stressful part I find, making sure they're all eating.

I am happy to report that now 8 out of 10 are feeding. As the mother was a wc i will be returning most if not all of the babies back to the location where I found the mother.
