    New sirtalis babies

    Just got home from work and found extra movement in one of the enclosures. I don't have a count as yet, birthing still in progress. A disapointing number of still borns, but at least 10 very large and healthy babies:

    There baby Jeepers and peepers

    Congratulations Sid

    sorry about the still Borns

    I guess that is easier to cope with than having to euthanize live babies with birth defects.

    These are Easterns T. sirtalis sirtalis. Looks like there will be quite some difference in colors in this clutch.

    James, I'll hold onto all of them long enough to see how they color out and most will be in the classified after that.

    Congratulations, Sid! Gosh but there's so many DIFFERENT Easterns! They are cute. What's their coloring like, Sid? Hard to see from the pic.
