First young of the year!

Thanks all!
I´ll be posting some more info on the date of mating, sheds, restlesness and other stuff soon

Okay, here we go...
The female had her first shed of the year on 11/2/2009. She mated in the same week (possibly the same day)
She had a shed somewhere in between (forgot to write it down, but I'm pretty sure it was the second week of march)
She shed again on 23/4/2009
around this point the female started eating a lot less.
She had a restless day around 10/5/2009 and started getting really restless on 12/5/2009. I thought I saw a slight twitch on this day.
On 14/5/2009 I found the young.

All young are eating perfectly. None have shed yet, but they seem to be doing great!
I noticed a couple of animals have reddish eyes whereas others have brown eyes. I never noticed this before...
