    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. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

Gopher eggs go from bad to worse!

I raised a pair of Hypo Sonoran Gophers Het. Blizzard from babies, this year they were ready for breeding, female layed 10 nice sized eggs.. well half turned brown and dried up. (I have them in perlite with not too much water, but just enough so there is some humidity) I had on hypo baby break the egg but died inside.. I had a Hybino hatch out but I looked in at him and he was dead..I have 3 eggs left, curious to see what happens. I had the eggs at 79- 82 degrees
Not sure what could have happen with this bad outcome.. I keep my corn eggs the same way and have 99% hatch rates..

Thanks,
Bill
 
3 more just hatched

Thank-you!!! 3 more are making their way out of the eggs right now a Blizzard, Hypo and Hybino. Hopefully they make it..
I guess there is always next yr. It would have been nice to see all the eggs hatch and the variety of babies- I was really looking for a ghost in the clutch.
