Fifth bunch of babies this season !

Postby Ray Gurgui » Sun May 11, 2014 7:15 pm

Ok This time they're Eastern BTS born today May 11th , Mothers day ! From female # 14 X male #6
This pair is so good at breeding I can barely get any pics of them, I usually have about five other pairs going at the same time, so I know they do what they are supposed to every year !
Jan 25th

I got tired of congratulating you on Northerns 8) but a BIG CONGRATS on the first Eastern clutch! :D

F14 x M6 is a great combo -- have a glance at my female in the Eastern Photo Gallery (second entry down), that beauty is one of last year's F14 x M6 babies:

Sometimes blotchies can hide it very well

Dang Ray, that's shocking considering how mine are. In wondering if that has anything to do with their temperament. Mine are so cuddly and tame while yours tend to be more on the feral side. Do you think that could attribute anything to her behavior toward the baby? I remember you said to keep a Barrier between me and mom when getting babies out but that's never been an issue for us. Just curious.

Some females dont change in attitude when gravid or birthing,others turn into over protective nutcases,lots of variety in there behaviour,i have one shy female that if gravid never looks gravid,shes always very sleek babies or not but if gravid she isnt shy,instead shes charged at me from 6 metres away and very aggressivly attacks my shoes when im in outdoor cage,jekyl and hyde bluey that one

The majority of my females stay there usual self when gravid
