I still can't believe this is real. I came home feeling tired from work and talked with Vic about our work days, etc...I felt a tiny bit queesy but then realized as we lay there talking, I hadn't checked on Miss Hector yet (although when I reached in for the paper towels to wash my face, I smelled something that was similar to "oh someone needs a cage cleaning". I mentioned to Vic that I hadn't checked on her but I'm sure she'd be fine until morning...he then said sweetly "do you want to go ahead and check on her real quick?"
Now I had dreams recently that I'd go check and see babies, but it came true!!!! ;D
I called to Vic saying "Vic! You've got to see this! We've got babies!!"
His response was a smile and "I'll see you in a few hours then, have fun." hehe ;D
OMG! I can't believe it's real! I'm so tired it just feels like it's a dream I'm going to wake up from. Miss Hector is doing great. She's super skinny but will get a meal tomorrow. Right now she's rehydrating and has a nice hide box.
I just gently removed them into a clean, nice warm cage with damp paper towels so they can emerge fully on their own and a water bottle nearby to spritz them during the day for the next couple days.
Thus far, they are "normal" in appearance and at the very least, 100% het for type II anery! No telling what will come out since Miss Hector is so dark herself...maybe when they are old enough to breed, I'll know! ;D
For now, I'm just so elated, my first litter of boas!!!! I'm never going to forget this!
