there's obviously more coming and I'm very much hoping that some of those will be snake babies, although I have to say the jelly beans don't bother me as much as stillborns do

That's great news, Rhea! Keep us updated!:D

[drache]

it's not looking good for more, although I'm still hoping
she's had several jelly beans and three stillborns, two really large ones (9"), one of which had a really bad kink and lump in the lung area, the other one I think suffocated during birth, the third was tiny and underdeveloped
she's still going through contractions, but after this many jellies and dead ones I wonder what the chances are for survivors in there
this being her first time, I'm just happy she seems fine and her live babies are really lovely

Congratulations, anyway. :)

Great news. They look wonderful and Thing looks like she's doing fine. Keep us informed and let's see some additional photos, when there's a break in the action.. You can never see too many newborns.

Congratulations, Rhea. Glad mommy is doing well, she looks great.

what are jelly beans?
Unfertilized eggs.

Unfertilized eggs.


Ahhh.... Thank you.... You all mention things that I have no clue about and I appreciate it that you guys answer my questions.

[Stefan-A]

No problem, we've all had to ask these same questions at some point. :)

Congrats on your 4 cuties! jelly beans and stillborns are always a bummer, but you have to count your blessings, and the 4 is better than 0, right? Besides I like small litters it just means less mouths to feed.:)

[Isisnofret]
