BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

We're up to 9!
I'm missing a picture of someone, I'll have to sort out who when things calm down...








Two babies came out with some problems. I wasn't home when the first 8 were born, but my son says this one looked just like Tiny of last year when he came out, as if he was bent sideways. He's straightened out quite a bit since, but has some visible bumps:


The next one is a bit more severe, for now I will just post this picture of him:

He has eaten a couple bites and has taken some water, but seems pretty listless.

Beautiful babies as usual!
Having less than perfect babies is unforunately part of the whole breeding experience. Hope they come around for you.

Woo hoo! Merauke Mama does it again! Congrats!!!

Why, thank you!

You know, as short as her body is, to have NINE full size babies in there, I'm not surprised some of them came out looking bent and lumpy. I may actually have to think seriously about only allowing her to mate 2 -3 times, tops.

Congrats!!!

Just watched #10 pop out (!!!!!!), and I don't know how it could be possible, but I swear there's at least one more in there...

Congrats!

Easier to just do this:




plus little crooked-face, makes 10.

So cute Congrats! They already have gorgeous color, will be fun to see them develop!

Love the pics keep them coming.

Congrats but I'm sorry about the deformed babies. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Awesome, congratulations! Sorry to hear about the abnormalities, but maybe they'll smooth over as time goes by.

Have to say i'm very drawn to the one in the fourth pic and the one born ninth.

I can tell you with almost 100% certainty that the 9th baby born will stay right here. Looks almost EXACTLY like Rosy right after she was born!

Two videos shot just a few minutes ago.

Great vids! Awesome babies and Xyla looks pretty good for just popping out 10!

So awesome! I just hope the two babies that are deformed make it. Unless you believe their lives would not be full, then I hope for... well you know. Sweet videos by the way. Just awesome news! I am very happy for you. Of course I would still yell at mama for taking so long. lol

The merauke mama strikes again,nice job susann,double digit litter size is good for meraukes to

Beautiful babies!

Congratulations! They are beautiful.

I hope the deformed ones make it. I know you'll do your utmost for them. Fingers crossed!

Xyla is a trooper; I'll have to start calling her Super Mama from now on!

I wasn't home (I swear these lizards have a sixth sense about that!) when the first 8 were born, had my super trooper 14 year old son taking care of everything for me; he made sure the two deformed ones were breathing and moving OK and were separated from everyone else.
But the reason I'm telling you all this (besides bragging a little about my trooper son) is that Xyla was acting totally defensive about her babies, totally different from Maddie! When the last 3 (before I got home) were born, she would corner them and stood guard! My son didn't dare reach past Xyla to get them out as she would charge his hand when he tried! He just stood there watching until I got home to make sure Xyla didn't act out towards the babies. (I'll have to go looking for a pot of gold for him for doing that!)
She's a Super Mama for sure!
