    BABIES!!! Mom just had baby 1. Everything must have went fine seeing as how I wasn't even around to see it. No noticeable problems so I'll wait to see what happens next........ nothing.........nothing................ this is going to be frustrating for me. Keep you posted, and YES, I know. PICS.

    Congrats Dan.

    You're not going to be too busy with the babies to make it down here on Sunday are you?


    Luke warm water bath for the babies to get that first shed off. Just an inch of water is all that is need.
    Watch those little scrubs as they learn very quickly that a wet radix can climb right out of a plastic or glass tub.

    Coming for sure! How long in the water bath Steve? Can I see the little sheds as easy as any other or do they just fall apart, thought I remember us talking about that.

    So, almost 24 hours and nothing new to report. Mom snake is still huge so I know she can't be done. Is this normal? I do know you all have said it could take days sometimes, I just wanted it to be quicker. I'll keep you posted.

    Thanks for the update! Just be patient. Be sure you aren't hovering, she might feel like it's not safe. Just let her be alone and check on her quietly and quickly every now and then.

    That's been the plan. Going to bed and hope to see something in the morning.
