PEACH HAD 12 BABIES!!!

Postby Zach » Thu Jun 28, 2007 11:37 pm

.....and she might not be done yet...it's 11:30pm. She had them at the worst possible time; we had like 14 people over for the nba draft, and they started popping out.

A few quick horrible pictures -- I'll take some more tomorrow! Man, I can't tell the Northerns apart at all like we did with the IJ's.....

Congrats Zach!


Your babies look like my Caramel ones that seem to lack the speckling characteristic of Northerns otherwise it would be really easy to tell them apart from IJ babies which have your standard prison stripes (as you well know).

12 babies is a great number! Congrats again!

best regards,

Andrew

I meant the IJ's are easy to tell apart from each other -- I could name each one immediately and tell them apart from their striping from day one! But these Northerns all look identical! Does that make sense....they're easily distinguishable from IJ's.

Thanks for the good wishes!

Congrats, Zach! Do northerns usually have larger litters compared to other skinks (like IJs)?

Were these conceived on Care Bear sheets? I was thinking since Peach is the mommy, you could go with Super Mario names.
1)Mario
2)Luigi
3)Daisy
4)(Bullet) Bill
5)Toad
6)Toadette
7)Bowser
8)ShyGuy
9)Goomba
10)Koopa
11)Yoshi
12)Birdo

Or, since Peach is the name of a fruit, you could go with produce names.
1)Kiwi
2)Mango
3)Papaya
4)Carambola
5)Apricot
6)Cherry
7)Clementine
8)Guava
9)Citron
10)Mulberry
11)Persimmon
12)Melon

Be creative.
