Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Help with a friendly wager - enchis with a lesser twist
No pictures....YET....because they aren't hatched.
I've got two clutches incubating - one from an enchi male to a "normal" female (it was a test date, to see if he was interested in such things; but when I pulled the tub 40 minutes later hoping to see a little courtship activity, he was already doing the deed. They were separated as soon as they were separated...but, by then, it was too late), the other from that same enchi male to my lesser female.
7 eggs from the normal, 5 from the lesser - of which only 3 were as good as they initially looked. When it was 5 eggs, I felt very strongly that I had at least 2 lesser enchis...but down to 3 eggs, that seemed too much to hope for.
The whole reason for this post is that Willow is also anxiously awaiting the hatch from an enchi/lesser pairing...but she was, unfortunately, left with only one fertile egg. Hers was laid two days after mine were, and are incubating at about a half degree warmer - so the race is on. Day 47 for me, 45 for her.
I told her in chat last night that I had 2 enchi lessers, and one lesser hidden in those 3 eggs. I think it's going to be a long 7-12 days.....unless she breaks down and cuts into hers, so I can look in mine.
(Sadly, I don't have any such hunches about the 7 egg clutch; but I'm not too concerned with the number because I'm counting on them being AWESOME. and mom wasn't a female I would have picked for an enchi pairing....test dates are dangerous)

I already told her that her egg is a lesser enchi. I think your 3 eggs are normals. no, I think you'll have a lesser enchi, 1 lesser and 1 normal.

Willow's 1 egg has a LesserEnchi in it, you have 3 LesserEnchi's in yours. (im pessimistic, what can i say :P)((i know its optimism, im being sarcastic))

Actually, we're looking for stakes for the wager (I know, I didn't say that).
Keep in mind this is a friendly wager...something to help the last week go by, until Bradley can convince Willow to cut the egg, lol.
Nothing crazy like she gets an enchi lesser if I am mistaken - we aren't THAT friendly.
If nothing mutually agreeable comes up, we can always fall back on me buying her a drink if I am wrong. (that, of course, leaves it pending unless/until we actually meet)
3 normals - thanks for the good wishes, Bradley. Should I remind you about that pied fiasco? lol
3 lesser enchis - I'm more of a realist, Tyler...it was hard enough for me to accept the idea of 2 + a lesser from 3 eggs.

realistically?
Willow will get a Lesser, you'll get 1 Enchi Lesser and 2 Enchi's.
for a wager, dont both of you need to bet on something? is it who gets an enchi lesser? or if you do/dont get 2 enchi lessers and a lesser?

$20 is a pretty friendly wager. I wish you both the best, and me, too! I've got no lessers at stake (in this clutch), but I bred both a honeybee and a pinstripe to a pastel. She gave me only 2 good eggs this year, and 1 went bad around day 40. Today's 56 so I'm hoping for some good news within 48 hours. And Tyler, if you're still reading this, I'll bet you $20 it's NOT a mojo.

The bet is whether I get what I predicted - 3 lessers, 2 of which will also be enchis.
The stakes are currently undecided.

if it is, winner gets the mojo!
how about winner gets one from the other persons clutch? (Harald looses, you send Willow a lesser, or an enchi, not a lesser enchi though, and if youre right, then willow sends you her uno egg if its not a lesser enchi?)

Hmm okay Ill play.
Harald, you'll get a lesser enchi, lesser then enchi. Those 2 bad eggs were normals. I'd say those would be some crazy good odds and luck.
Willow, you'll get a lesser enchi.
Hope I'm right! Hehe
Good luck to the both of you.
Also I like Tylers idea, whoever is right of the two gets a baby.

no harald, you dont need to remind me. I remember very well.
the main reason I'm hoping it's a lesser enchi for her is because if it is, her male enchi will become mine. well, that and the fact that it's the only egg she'll have this year probably unless that pin is in fact gravid.
and for those of you who say whoever loses gets a hatchling from the other... I'm willing to bet willow wouldn't give it up no matter what it was, since it will be her first ever.
