On Monday, October 3, Living Gems was pleased to welcome the Caesarion-Malachite litter to this world. Mom delivered a large litter of 20 little nippers late in the evening, and I arrived home just as the early explorers exited the nest.

Dad Caesarion is a beautiful orange male that traces from the famous (and now unfortunately rare) Tim Frazier bloodline:

His last litter numbered 19, so he’s gotten better at his job.

Mom Malachite is a reddish female who is skeptical of this whole human idea:

Her last litter numbered 22, so this was roughly on par.

The enclosure looked like this when I found the early explorers:

Here are some shots of the lay box when I grabbed the last stragglers:

As always Cliff excruciatingly jealous every time I see your babies. Particularly as I'll never be able to own one!

Congratulations though. Gorgeous as ever...

Danny, you have such an impressive collection, why would you never own a BRB? Does it have anything to do with the country you live in??

I could own a BRB no problem but I couldn't own one of Cliff's. That is the issue me :).

And my collection is very modest compared to some on here but thank you. It will be increasing shortly though :)

Ahh, I get it now! Makes perfect sense.
Yes, there are some serious collectors on this forum, but it doesn't take away from your ever increasing one :D

Maybe one day Bean will get a girlfriend from Cliff?...
(Did I say that out loud??)

LOL! Thank you all for commenting! The babies are doing fine so far, and should start their first sheds this weekend.

Danny, I hope to be able to export to England in 2017, if things work out as I wish.

We had our third litter this week -- details when I finally get a breather!

Oooo, do keep me posted Cliff. 2017 will hopefully work out nicely timings wise with a house move. Got our eye on something that will include a nice big snake room for me :)
