Rosy Boa (Lichanura trivirgata) just finally had
4 massive babies this morning.I was in a hurry on my way out,and was fortunate enough to see her push out the last babie infront of me.
Perfect little guys :)

This photo was taken just a few days ago when she could hardly sail with the weight she caried :)

WOW Ferdo those look amazing. I was just reading the latest Ultimate Exotics artical regarding the rosy's. Really nice snakes. How old is your female?

Congrats again.

Thanks J&S.I only bought them last year when I started to collect again,but since then ,she has grown a little bit.My guess is about 3 years old.Martin will have that answer.
I bought them on impulse as I wanted to breed them at least once in this lifetime ,but got to admit,they are great snakes to have.Never refuse a meal and eat like hungry cobras.Yet gentle in the hands and they feel like polished glass in any direction you run your fingers over them.
Obviousely they eat less than cobras :)I feed my adults a rat pup every 10 days or so.

I just saw the cover of the Ultimate exotics advertised-Very apropriate for me :)

Can't wait for the little ones to shed and see the true colours.

Well done Ferdo. Those are stunning and surely the biggest babies, comparatively speaking, of most snakes?
