    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....

Is it too late for Coastal Rosys to be mating this year?

I hibernated both my male and female (they are 10 and 7 years old) and the male is showing NO interest in her this year.
 
Not at all

I only just began introducing my males & females together this weekend, mostly b/c winter has lingered on here longer than the rest of the country.
So far, my bajas and 'snow project' rosies have been the only ones going at it; the others have not been interested. It's easy to get worried from the get go, but mating season lasts a long time. Once your female starts emitting pheromones, your male won't be able to resist! :D
Hopefully(for you) he won't shoot blanks. That's my big fear. Even though she may be obviously gravid, she may only drop slugs. That happened to two of my females last year. Both mated with the same male who avidly bred with them. :(
Just keep on introducing him every few days. For a male I'm only mating with one female, I use a 5 days on 2 days off method.
I keep this up (usually)from early April thru late June.
Good luck & keep us informed.
 
They mated a couple of weeks ago. Last year the female had one of her reproductive tracks removed because the babies in it got stuck and died :(
I'm hoping she can have maybe 4 this year with the one reproductve track she still has.
