Happy New Year!

2010 is off to a great start with the arrival of a long-anticipated litter of Kenyan sand boas! This female’s first litter arrived on 29 October 2008. In 2009, I paired her up earlier, witnessed a lock earlier, and saw her begin to grow earlier than in 2008. So, I expected the babies to arrive earlier than they did in 2008. Apparently, she had other ideas and held on to the babies for a good long time! Finally, when I opened her tub yesterday, she was no longer alone – there were 12 fat little worms in there with her! Look at that big pile of babies, no wonder she looked ready to explode!
