This female squam was bred during the last week of March through the first week of April by a black and blue male. Prior to being bred she was a voracious feeders but has refused to eat for the last 5 months. She's been showing all the signs of being gravid and has recently moved off her perch to the bottom of the cage which usually means it won't be too much longer. I'm hoping to get some real screamers from her if she does drop but it will be her first litter so I'm not expecting too many. Quality over quantity is always a plus in my book though.

If she does drop none of the babies will be availbale to the general public. If any go to new homes they will be traded for new bloodlines amoungst friends who also have babies.

Dang Brance she looks good, I think Jim Campbell is gonna be a bit jealous! Do you have any pictures of the sire?

Naw, Jim is my friend and he has some amazing squams himself. He will definitely be on the trade list!

I tried to take some pics of papa but he's so snappy that I couldn't get any that I was proud enough of to share. I'll try again soon though. If you go back and look on STR somewhere around March there are pics of the two courting.
