    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Sometimes the odds are just crazy...

I bred a normal het butter, 50% chance het anery to an amel het butter and anery. Temporarily ignoring the normal's possible het anery status, the expected offspring would be 3/8 normal, 3/8 amel, 1/8 caramel and 1/8 butter. If the normal IS het anery, I could also get anery and snow offspring (I never did the actual figures). 11 eggs were laid and all hatched. What I DID get is 8 normal and 3 anery (these MAY be caramel...2 look a little yellowish, but not like the only other caramel I hatched out last year...have to wait until they shed once or twice before I make a final decision on morph). I'm a bit surprised that there isn't at least 1 amel in the clutch. But then again, knowing my luck sometimes, not that surprised.

This is just a big reminder to the newer breeders out there that just because the Punnett Square says that you could get a certain percentage of a certain morph, you can never really tell what's going to hatch out until it does. You can only hope. Sometimes, things will even out in other clutches. I'm hoping Lady Luck will choose my hypo het lav pairs' clutch to do this in. A better than 1/4 hypolav offspring would be really nice! But, I doubt it.

What she is saying is those percentages are for each egg, and not a percentage of the clutch...could have been worse...could have easily been a clutch of normal hets :eek:

Better luck with the hypo hets, Susan, post them pics when they hatch :cool:
