The first glance into the cage was a bit of a let down because we didn't see ANY white boas....

....and it didn't get any better when we found that the ONE white boa hidden in the pile - a sunglow - was
stillborn as were many of the others. A bit of the sunglow is just visible toward the back right in this photo.

When we finished sorting through the carnage, the total count was (all are 100% het genetic-stripe and 66%
possible het albino): 5 Salmon-hypo motleys, 2 motleys, 1 Salmon-hypo and 3 normals. The stillborns included 1
sunglow, 2 Salmon-hypo motleys, 2 motleys, 3 Salmon-hypos and 3 normals; there were also 9 slugs.
We're not sure what happened with all the stillborns - the live ones are all big, strong and robust.
Among the stillborns, one of the Salmon-hypos and one of the normals had some deformities, but the rest looked as though they
should have started crawling away at any moment.
The upside to all this was that we got SOME!

The normal with the big yolk sac is doing just fine - we tied off the sac and everything went routinely
from there.
This little one was not at all sure about leaving the comforts of home!

Even though they are only het genetic-stripe, the tail striping on some of the hypo motleys runs very nearly
half their body length!

This little 66% possible DH sunglow makes us smile every time we open her box. She is SO PINK, and
she got her mama's dragon head markings!
