Great article!! I especially like the neonate feeding tips. These are truly amazing little snakes. I am amazed every time I walk by my "reds" cages at how their appearance can still captivate me to this day. I remember the first time I ever introduced the pair...copulation started within about 15 minutes, and lasted well over 8 hours...I was thrilled. I'm glad pigmys, even if its just the reds, are starting to get more recognition...they are truly amazing animals.

Mr. Beard,
That was a wonderfully written expose on the rare and endangered red pigmy. I have had the good fortune of breeding them over the years successfully. Being that I am now in college and aiming for my masters in herpetology, I have decided to do a full report/thesis consisting on the full life span of the red pigmy so that we as a society can one day appreciate this wonderful creature for what it is and its contribution to nature. I have yet, to see them in the wild. Its nice to take pictures of my private collection, but I would love to take some pics of them in the wild for my thesis. I think observing them first hand in the wild would greatly benefit my thesis as well as personal understanding of this species. If you could tell me where to find some for field observation, that would be tremendously appreciated! My e-mail is mataaman@yahoo.com Thank you, Chris Robbins

"A litter can be as small as 2 neonates and as large as 10, depending on the age and the size of the female. The average size of a litter is approximately 6 neonates."
Me and a buddy just had a female red drop 14 live and a slug. Booyah!

Congrats on the little Reds, that’s a huge litter . What locale are there? I have herd of some of the Georgia reds having large litters. Good luck with them, they can really be a pain in the ass to get started. I have found that Red Back Salamanders are like CRACK to baby pigs.
