Congrats on the litter! Mine recently had a small litter as well. They really are an awesome species!

How long a time frame did she hold them? I have a radix that dropped 1 last Thursday night and now here we are a week later and no other litter mates. She is really starting to worry me. Congrats on your litter, great looking group. Love the look of the albinos. Hope these guys produce some one day.

We put the albino male to her at the end of Feb and she gave birth 4 months later.

Hey if you can post a pic of 1 of the babies with the "bug eyes", I've heard of the term but I dont think I've ever seen it.

I'll post one in a tic

Congrats Peter . Never tire of seeing these photos. Like the idea of a birthing box, saves hunting through a four foot viv for a load of tiny scrubs!

it's also a damn site easier cleaning everyting up lol

Bug eyes







My girlfriend loves them she thinks they're really cute.

Poor little scrubs.

[scorpion0151]

it doesn't seem to bother them, well it hasn't yet. They can see fine and they shed fine this time, only thing is I think the eyes make the head a bit heavy so they can just flop if they try going up the side of their enclosure.

Hey thanks for posting the pics! Is there some sort of bacterial fluid in the eyes that makes them big like that? Is there any sort of treatment for it? Will they lose their eyes or vision as they get older?

Interesting pics of the bug eyes.
Also interesting that they shed with no problems. Has anyone kept bug eyed snakes to adulthood? At a guess I'd imagine they're more likely to damage their eyes as they are bigger and more exposed. I'd also suspect there could be a brain defect too because the optic nerve and retina is effectively an extension of the brain. Although none of that in itself is necessarily a problem.

Congratulation for the litter.
I´ve never seen such "bug eyes" by birth.
Really scaring pictures ( I agree to Steve)!

I've never seen anything like that before. Poor things.

Poor things.Could the eyes be drained of the fluid?
