    Wooo Hooo SURPRISE BIRTH!!!!

    My little w/c girl just had babies!!!!!!!!! Im going nutz!!!! most of you guys know I caught her back on June 4th! She was amazing from the start! and she Is the reason I found this Forum! She took f/t mice and worms for me and was very calm from day one!

    She had missed her last two meals and I didnt think much of it because she had eaten so well since I cought her. She was 84grams when I caught her and the last time I checked she was up at 98grams. Well she just had babies! my first EVER garted babies! she weighed 65grams after birth!

    Congrats.
    Don't see a jelly there. I do see some leftover yolk from an egg sack.
    A nice like warm bath will let the babies get that first shed off. It they're having trouble it will come off with a little help from you.
    How's the one wit the deformed head acting?
    Are they up moving around?
    Those dead ones would be stillborns.


    Mom looks good.

    Cool. congrats on the litter. Just don't keep those babies on soaking wet towels too long.

    Keep them warm and their bottoms dry with high humidity and water/moist hides available. (very shallow water, just a few millimeters)

    Way to go "mom"

    The deformed baby is adorable I always feel bad for the deformed ones, people don't seem to like them as much but to me their just as beautiful as the rest I showed it to my mom and her response was " ewww, a face only the mother could love" I love its face quite a lot...

    Kinda looks like maybe there was too much pressure on his little nose at a critical time during development. Poor lil' guy. Hoping he makes it.

    I hope he makes it too, he's such a little cutie! Poor little one. Does he act like the other babies?
