sooooo.... i got this female, and i was told that she was possibly gravid, but didnt think much of it. didnt feel anything. she hadnt eaten since i got her, and i thought she might be ovulating or something, but i really didnt know what to think. and then today i walk past the cage and look in and think to myself "oh my god thats a huge dump for a snake that hasnt eaten in so long" and then i look closer, and realize there are BABIES
it looked like i had just interrupted her. i was freaking out so bad i couldnt even dial the phone to call my boyfriend and let him know. im still kindof in afterglow/shock. uh.. i covered her cage with a blanket to give her some privacy, there are alot of duds [but she had a long temperature drop] and 3 babies so far, but it looked like she was still pushing them out...
so... what to do now? ive got boxes i can put hatchlings in, when do i take them out? should i leave them alone in the yolk? in the cage? when will mommy eat? how should i set them up, on paper towels? this is my first time ever having anything other then gecko babies, let alone something that is birthed and doesnt come from an egg...
one of them looked super beautiful... i am so excited i cant even think straigt. i grabbed my camera and just started snapping pics through the glass.
any help is greatly apreciated!
