premature baby boa's

[chloe]

Has anyone got any experience with baby boa's born prematurely with yoke still attacked?

I have tried to upload photo's but can't get it to work. There were 18 in total born last nite. 8 where alive last nite and 7 this morning the 7 seem to be doing well so far. Been trying to keep the moist and warm.


Any advice?

I've seen it with lizards. Keep them on damp paper towels until the yoke is absorbed so that it doesn't stick to something and get torn off. That could kill them if they are like lizards. Spray the paper towels frequently to keep them moist. It shouldn't take more than a couple of days. Good luck!

Never seen anything quite as premature!

Wow, they don't look quite the way I was expecting! That's quite a lump they are still attached to. Sadly I have absolutely no useful advice but just bucket loads of best wishes that they pull through.

I don't know much (anything) about premature snakes, but that definitely doesn't look good. Hope at least some of them make it.

Wow. Lots of well wishes for them from here. I wonder why they all hatched prematurely???

Good luck with the babies, poor little things.
