Mighty Rattlers almost 4 weeks; DVAS almost 2 weeks

Sorry for the lack of pictures and updates,  it's been an extremely busy week.

The Mighty Rattlers have crossed yet another milestone - they've graduated completely out of their baby pools and are now in their big whelping pen full time.  As with most things, this group is about 2 days ahead of most of our other litters on this development, but as usual, they are precocious and did just fine.  These pups are super smart, and coordinated - just seem to be 'ahead of the curve' in so many ways!

Last night was their first night downstairs in the pen alone.  Mama Scarlet got up and nursed them twice, and they appear to have mostly just slept the rest of the night through.

The Deadly Viper Assassin Squad pups continue to gain and thrive, and we should be having eyes popping open in the next few days!  

Ok!  On to a few pics from the last few days:

Panamint is looking for trouble!

First meal in the big pen.

Not too stressed to eat, or to explore!

Usually when pups graduate to this much freedom, they spend an hour or two wandering about crying and being confused....not this group!  They took to the new pen like fish to water.

Post-prandial bliss.

Meanwhile, in the littles' pool, the milkbar is open for Mamba, Cantil, Copperhead, and Blue Racer.
