Litter #2, Good Morning Surprise!

[tanglovers]

Well my marble x motoro female gave birth to her second litter this morning! 7 healthy pups! She was bred with my marble male (the one who has been passed around - Pat to Todd to Alan....forgetting the first couple owners too...).

6 of the pups are around 4.5-4.75" and one is quite a bit smaller (3.5-4") disc size. Still pretty new to the whole ray breeding thing so have not run into a runt before. He is fully formed and seems as strong / healthy as the others. He has a really nice pattern spotting and will be sticking around for a while.

2 of my full marble females are due here very soon as well! Hoping to have a nice mix of pups soon!

Anyhow here is a quick shot of the pups:

Very nice!

Congrats!

Thansk guys. Yes all 7 of these are from a single female. She is about 19" or so across, male is about 17" across. I am really excited for the next two females to pup actually as they are full marble females and will be the first full marbleds born here.

Nice litter, the small one has really nice spotting.

Yeah the little one does have the nicest spotting IMO as well, he is going to stick around for a while to see what he develops into later in life.

Based on the presvious litter (4 months old now) they should all develop some very nice marbling.
