7th blotchy litter being born as we speak
Fatty on the left from the other day is the mother
Walked in this morning for a check and spooted this tanky bugger
She also dropped this big slug
Shes had a bite to eat,a couple of drinks and is pacing about still with the odd push so hopefully a couple more bubs inside

Re: 7th blotchy litter being born as we speak
Oh these 2 girls are 2 of the outdoor kept ones that bred back in october
Gestations are a bit longer when warmth isnt there around the clock,i thought the outdoor ones would be early this season but mid march is average time,i did find a baby back on feb 28th though in the outdoor cage so one went early
Comparison pic
Top ones the feb 28th born one,bottom ones todays tank
Close up of todays bub so far

Re: 7th blotchy litter being born as we speak
Yep,the alpines are on average late march probably scott,sometimes into april,the lowlands are sometimes march but usually early april
Have had them even late april into early may some cool seasons,after being taken inside in late march if its cooled down alot
I think my cages are possably to exposed to winds off bass straight,as i know a few guys down this way that get babies alot sooner even when theres mate around same time as mine do
I have a feeling this female that dropped a big baby and a slug actually hasnt finished yet,shes still solid and her breathing still appears laboured,oh and she has just shed now
Hopefully they get a wriggle on as if like them to go back out and brumate with the group outdoors

Thats her in the back ground
The other was the one that was most heavily mated and got all the early attention from multiple males
