premature baby boa's

[chloe]

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...

Thank you for contacting Jeff Ronne. The 7 are still alive so i am keeping my fingers crossed. I will keep you all updated.

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

Wish I could do more... fingers crossed here, too.

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

any new news on the babies?

[jitami]

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...
