When does 13 = 14?
No babies at the morning check, then early this afternoon I checked again and noticed this in Lola's window...
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2..._20130907a.jpg Yup, she dropped her litter - cool!! Was deposited outside the hide on the cage floor and most were already cruising around. I started pulling babies and after a few I pulled the hide box with mom inside and noticed she had deposited the last egg sack in there with her. She was not moving so I continued with the cage. Pulled all the babies in the cage, 12, plus the one with mom = 13 right? Wrong, when I pulled mom to get at the ;last egg sack I noticed this: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2..._20130907b.jpg Yes, there are two heads in there = TWINS!! http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2..._20130907c.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2..._20130907d.jpg And as if that weren't proof, after they left the sack they were still joined by their shared umbilical cord which they eventually pulled apart from each other. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2..._20130907e.jpg And on a side note, last year I had only 91 babies, this year twin one was baby #91 and twin two was baby #92. Super sweet way to surpass last years count!! |
Sweet! We have a couple rainbow boas and are looking to breed. Never bred boas before. How do u do it?

Ok cool thanks a lot!

Great pics, thanks for sharing.

That's pretty cool. Gonna have to share that pic with them in the sac with my mom if you don't object. She'll enjoy something like that.

Twins in boas are so cool. I had a litter of BCI in 2009 with two pairs. So cool. I think it might happen more often than people think and they just don't get there in time to see the two snakes in the same sack.

I really enjoy your photos, many thanks for posting. In particular showing the joint umbilical cord is amazing!
Hope they all do well :thumbsup: |
