2008 Newborn Borrego Rosy Boas

So today I was walking by a rack, and I noticed my female Borrego rosy boa nosing around the front of her tub. But then I did a double-take, realizing that she had shrunk to a tiny size! Excited, I took out her tub and found her with five new babies! I was getting worried about the female. Rosy gestation is typically 115 to 140 days, and yesterday was day 139. She was HUGE, so I knew she was still gravid, but I was worried that she was having some complication that was preventing her from giving birth. I guess she was just cooking those guys until they were completely done-- the babies are MONSTERS.

Last year she gave birth to four babies that were between 20g and 21g. This year she gave me five, and they're all between 25g and 27g! No wonder she looked like she was about to explode. They are all perfect little replicas of their Borrego-locality parents, and they're all as healthy and chunky as I could hope for. That's a decent litter size for a rosy, so I'm very happy.
