Critter’s Krib

taglines er fer sissaze

As you can see in the post below. Our snake started to have her babies today. At least that is what we thought. After waiting a while to see if any others popped out, I had a quick look under all the newspapers and saw a small clump of baby snakes.

I called Talon over so he could see them huddled up under the papers. He was just as excited as I was!

I pulled ‘mom’ out of the cage and then grabbed all the babies, sifting through all the aspen to make sure we didn’t miss any. She had a total of 9 babies and 1 slug (a slug is an undeveloped ovum?)


The video above is just a small one I captured from my phone (and yes, I realize it cuts off at the end).

I told Talon that he can pick out one of the babies and keep it as his pet. He was very excited when I first told him, but then he became pretty upset because he couldn’t keep /all/ of the babies! Silly boy.

I didn’t have anything in the tubs for reference, but trust me when I say.. they are tiny.
