Argie update, a now and then post.

Born 8/08/06 – they are all numbered (01-22) and weighed/measured on the 24/08/06.
Longest neonate (05) was 500mm & 101g, the heaviest (17) was 107g & 475mm. Joint shortest all measuring 410mm were 03 (82g), 11 (88g), 12 (90g) & 16 (98g). The lightest was 04 at 70g. All lengths are to the nearest 5mm.
Some assorted pix of the proceedings... oh, all feeding cards had to be altered (Doh! 9th changed to 8th), I'd stayed up for most of the first 23hrs with the little ones and didn't have a clue what I was writing!




A close up view of number 09 to show some pattern..

A side on view of head and upper body

..and finally a couple of the pork beast himself, number 17 weighing in at 107g.



As of 24 Oct, all born 8 August:-
The 5 that had under 6 feeds, when weighed the second time, are now eating on there own.13 & 17 are hold backs. I’ve included an updated feeding tally but will weigh them soon and make a further up date on the 11 I still have. This is not a classified; I’ve only mentioned that some were sold to explain why I haven’t got any updated feeding records. All are now eating large mice or smaller weaned rats.

05. Male 418g 895mm 27 feeds.


08. Female 231g 740mm 20 feeds.

Snarler born 16/08/05, as he was then the ‘runt’ of the ’05 litter.

An update he’s now 809g and 985mm after 62 feeds, he’s actually darker than the image makes him look.

Devboy, stunning.

I especially like snarler, but then I do like my boas with character.

Cheers guys, I have a soft spot for Snarler and now number eight from the litter above. Both were the smallest of the lot and had an iffy start, with only accepting infrequent small meals, they'll both eat anything now though. Gannets.

Jase, I'm not sure yet what I have left, I kept the 11 for records but can't keep them all for much longer as they are eating into my curry funds. I'll be getting back in touch with people who have contacted me ages ago when I sold the other half of this litter last year. I'll keep you posted.
