For the "guess the # of babies" contest, the winning # is.. drum roll please...
26!!!
Congrats to TheReverendMojo!!! You have just won a free baby boa!
Autumn gave birth yesterday at 6pm, 108 days from POS to 26 beautiful little babies!!
The total was: 26 live, 2 stillborn and 1 slug
I spent all morning taking and uploading pics into my PC at home (where I don't have
internet access) but in my excitement I forgot to transfer them onto disk so I could
load them up now. LOL Oh well.. I do have a lot of pics, I will post them tomorrow morning!
Autumn is a very good mommy snake, she defended her young very well, she had always
been a sweet docile animal, well yesterday she was lunging like crazy, I thought I could
use a shield and pull the babies out but she kept snaking around the shield and trying to
bite me, then open mouth hissing, nothing like a 7.5'+ snake hissing at you!! lol I left the
room and stood outside the door 30 min later and could still hear her "hissss..pause..hisss..pause"
So I let her be with her babies thru the night and this morning I was able to get her behind
the head and pull her out. Some of the babies still had yolk attached so those are sitting in
her cage, the rest are all piled up in a corner of a 'stand-by' cage. I cannot wait to get
home and check them out again! I wish I didn't have to come to work! lol
I am so so so HAPPY!
