    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....

How long are they gravid before laying? What do you mean by they laid "shortly after arriving"? Is it possible they were bred by a non-het sometime prior to your receiving them?

Just seems a bit contradictory, unless hogs have a really short gestation, OR you mean something different by "shortly after arriving" than I would have meant. :shrug01:

I bred them while I still lived in Texas. I moved to Ohio a couple weeks later and they laid the eggs here in Ohio. Hope that clarifies it.
 
I dont know if I am posting these PM's right but hopefully this will explain a bit for both of our sides.

I'm sorry to hear about you and ricki. She told me that you where ingaged to a chick you just meet and dumped her. She said she was 4 months prego with your baby. I for got she cheated on you once befor so I bet it's true she did it again. I als owonted to say sorry I just dont like it when people call us liers when we are right. Ricki told me that you lied to us about everthing so I was kinda pissed but I really don't know her. She said that you got all your stuff from cl and friends. An told us they where something they whernt. But we beleave you over her, so i'm sorry for blowing up but it happens lol. Hope your doing good and hopefully ricki will leave you alone.
It is ok. I was in the wrong as well, I have not talked to her at all. I am engaged to someone I have known my whole life. I have a question, I really don't want to bring it to the board, but why did you guys say that you hatched eggs from the ball python out and tried to sell them on craigs list before you left for ohio? I was at your house not even a week before you guys left and you did not have any eggs. The snakes you were selling on there were the ones we got from craig. I remember emailing you guys to see if you had any of them sold, and you said just like one or two, then you guys dropped the price. I dont want to keep this crap going on, but I really wanna know why that was said when it definately was not true. craig also will have the documentation of the purchase. Please just let me know. I am not trying to start anything.

I loaned out the male to the guy with the female. I met him at PetSmart. He basically did all the work, the male just donated the sperm and I got three out of the deal. None were visuals so I just got rid of them along with the ones I got from you. Place in town here still has one or two I think that I ended up taking with us because I couldn't get rid of them in Texas. Haven't been there in a couple weeks, so I'm not sure, but they did still have them last time we went in. Next time I go in I will try to snap some pics if they still have them. The other one some guy in Abilene has. No clue who he is. He was looking at balls at Pam's and I made him a better deal.

BTW, a breeder in Columbus has the male ball you sold me and my female ball. I've got his card... Somewhere... Haha. Tasha might know where. I'll let ya know if he has any luck with them next season. I gave up on balls. Too much of a hassle, too picky.

I've got a 0.1 reverse okeetee, 0.1 amel, 1.0 het amel and 1.0 amel (het's son) that I'm gunna try breeding next spring. Might pick up a few more females at the monthly expos if they have any I like.

Ok? That still really makes no sense to me because in all the time we hung out before you left, and we hung out until like a week before you left, you never told me you bred anything. Also I saw you 2 days before you left, when you dropped off the rats. When did you get the babies from him? because you did not have them when I was at your house (which was 5 days after you lost your job, which was not even a week before you left). I really don't get it? also I found the email from when I sent you list to get the snakes from craig. Please help me understand this.

I didn't technically breed it, he did. I couldn't get him to breed with mine. The guy took him for a few days, gave him back and told me he'd call me if she laid any eggs. I picked up the hatchlings from him a few days before we left Texas. I don't know the exact date, I didn't plan on having to remember, but it was the first few days of June or so. A lot we never discussed I suppose or was never brought up. You couldn't have been there a week before we left because my brother in law was there ten days before we left and you never got to meet him. You mentioned the list from Craig. That is when I dropped off the rats and picked up the baby balls and the uromastyx. I think you said the 7th or so of May, which is about right.

So...

Early May: Dropped off rats/picked up balls/uro from you
Middle of May: Lost job
Late May: Brother in law comes to help move
Early June: Picked up hatchlings from guy in Abilene
June 9th: Left Texas in the dust

The date I emailed you the list was may 18th. I still have the email. and the emails I sent to craig as well, I picked everything up from him on sunday may 23rd. I still have the order and everything.

Like I said, I didn't commit it to memory, I was making my best guess. I picked up Bruce at the airport on the 31st and we left on the 9th, those two dates I know for sure and I have the U-haul receipt from when we left. Must have lost my job right around the 25th then. Sound about right? Seemed like longer. I know we got the fuck out of there pretty quick, though. Texas was shit and we're glad to be out. Was a really stressful, fucked up time. Ohio is great, quiet and of course we have the three monthly expos (Columbus, Cleveland and Pittsburgh) where we've gotten to meet several Fauna members (gotten bugs and a corn from DAND, frogs from porkchop84 and met garweft).

The 25th sounds about right with you loosing your job. I know I saw you after that, but I did not see you when bruce was there. In tasha's post on the BOI it said you guys told me about them not producing anything and I did nothing. Why did she say that, you never told me anything about any of that until we talked about it a few days ago. That made me sound like an asshole, and we both know it never happened that way. can you please clear that up for me? You know me, you know I would have gave you your money back if I knew anything happened.

I didn't see that post. You know Tasha and her spelling/grammar. She might have meant that they never produced a visual morph. I'll look as soon as my connection lets me. It goes up and down. I never said you did nothing. I never told ya. It wasn't that big of a deal until it was brought up here recently by Rickie. Still not a big deal, honestly. :shrug01:
