[Spankenstyne]

Sorry to hear that. Any thoughts on what you suspect may have happened?
Best of luck with the rest.

[guidofatherof5]

That's a shame Don. I hope the rest of your moms do well.

[snakeman]

[charles parenteau]

I'm sorry to hear about that my friend!!

[Mix]

:( Sorry to hear that. Hope the other girls do ok.

[RedSidedSPR]

Crap is right. Sorry, man

[RdubSnider]

That's terrible. Sorry to hear that

[ssssnakeluvr]

not sure what happened...was a nice large litter for her.... none of them even made it out of the sac...

[RicMartin]

Sorry to hear these news, Don, I hope the female is OK.

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

Wow don that really sucks... Sorry to hear about that. My blue racer just laid 19 infertile eggs... Feeling your pain! Kinda... Nothing worse than seeing perfect formed babies that are perfect, just lifeless :(

[ssssnakeluvr]

yea, it reeeeeealy sucks. sorry about your racer.... the female is doing just fine. on a better note...no babies, but did a trade with a friend at a pet store.... traded some plains babies from last year for a pair of sub adult het albino balls!!!!!! woo hoo!!!!! was the only time EVER that I would walk into a store and ask a guy if he had balls for me ;) been waiting for these 2 for a bit

[RdubSnider]

Its always nice when there's some good news to help keep Your mind off the bad. Good luck with the balls. Not as much fun to watch but a little better market

[ssssnakeluvr]

it's a little something extra to help fund my garter snake habit =)

[RdubSnider]

Don I understand that. The money starts to add up with all these garters

[Mommy2many]

Sorry to hear that. Was she a first time Mom?

[infernalis]

Don I understand that. The money starts to add up with all these garters

yes it does...

The snakes themselves are chump change (except a few crazy purchases) it's the upkeep that gets expensive.

500+ pinkies a month adds up quick.

[RedSidedSPR]

It's not so bad when you only have 3. But yeah, when you have 300+ snakes...

[infernalis]

It's not so bad when you only have 3. But yeah, when you have 300+ snakes...

true, but I have under 100 snakes.
(not counting babies, born or unborn)

[jitami]

Congrats on the balls, Don. So sorry about the stillborns :(

[ssssnakeluvr]

this would have been her 2nd litter.... had 12 huge healthy babies last year. bred with the same male this year... does suck when you have a lower number of breedable adults....

[Jeff B]

**** happens Don, sorry, better luck with the rest of the litters.

[RdubSnider]

I currently have 51 garters plus babies and mine all eat mice and if that's not bad. enough the bedding I use seems like a fortune. I couldn't imagine 300+

[ConcinusMan]

Damn that sucks. Keep an eye on mom. Hope she's OK.

[snakehill]

That Sucks big time!!:mad: Ps.does anyone else still say that?:rolleyes:
