    Re: Epic Fail

    Was she thin when she bred or has she just gotten thin because of this incident. I'd be more concerned with her losing weight after something like this. Granted, I don't know the whole situation like you do since she's your but I get concerned when my snakes lose weight. Why do you think this is a plus for her?

    She was overfed.

    Could have been the heat pads too. I never use them for garters. Overhead basking bulbs or ceramic heat is what I used.

    It's the same solution I used last time, without any losses. I think something just went wrong during labor. Like the process started, which cuts the gas exchange between the babies and the mother and only the first one made it out of there before choking to death.

    Sounds reasonable. At one point I was thinking the same thing. Like they suffocated. Like the mother somehow held them back too long.

    The survivor is eating like a pig, by the way. Haven't popped the little guy, probably won't.

    Oh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
    from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.
