Over a seven month gestation period the female becomes very large in girth. Juvenile coming out of the mother, tail first . The female swims around the tank between birthings. Newborn Typhlonectes with father. Newborn Typhlonectes with neck gills still attached.
Gills fall off within a couple days of the birth.
This captive bred pair of Typhlonectes produced 6 juveniles. The birthing took 6 hours. Thank you Martin for documenting this event.
