    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.

    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....

OH P diddy funny guy, he's your age isnt he?

I thought it was a salmon but i was unsure it didnt have enough pink for me to make that call... Thats actually what i had a hypo salmon, and a stripe het albino. i had them for two months then that was it. she doesnt do the whole feeding mice to the snakes. shes a furry person and i tend to favor animals with scales... We are really two different ppl... guess opposites do attract!!!

Nice babies is that what hatched a few days ago or something else? you can def. tell the difference i was explaining that to Paul the other day.(crazycoolpaul). He moved and doesnt have his comp up and running yet.
 
No, these are different. Good mix of stuff in this clutch.

So what is it that you use in your incubation containers? Some stuff you use in the lay bin?

I keep the same substrate in my containers as the lay bin. Eco-earth. just something i have been using for awhile. I lightly mix what goes into the containers and add 3/4 inch of water to the bottom shut the lid an check on them periodically. I have on small hole for the probe to the helix i keep inside of the containers. sometimes it get to much moister inside the containers i crack the lid an let it vent.
I will wait to see your reply in a few days.
 
leathers all colored up

so its been a few weeks and the 11 leathers are starting to show there color

THE GOOD STUFF

This is the clutch i was looking forward too. 29 eggs. ALL of them have made it to this point! now lets see how many will hatch. I was a good solid cross. with using a double het, to a hypo trans. my odds should be ALOT higher.
In the first pic:
Top right is a hypo trans leatherback for sure two hypo trans possibly leathers dunno yet there not far enough outta the egg. and a trans leather.
The second row looks like a few normals a hypo leather and a hypo trans.
I will post more pics as they hatch.

End results for clutch #2 on this thread

so far 28 out of 29 eggs have hatched. Hopefully the other is just a late bloomer. What hatched outta this clutch was: 2 normals (double hets of course), 6 hypos, 2 translucents, 2 double het leathers, 7 hypo translucents(yes wow thats alot for that type of gene, 3 weren't really translucent BUT had the black eyes) 3 hypo leathers, 3 translucent leathers, and (here comes the questionable part) i have 3 hypo trans leatherbacks, I THINK. the one hypo trans leather is really rough, i am thinking maybe its just a "reduced scale" dragon. Have to wait and see as it grows i guess:shrug01:

Nice pics man. Thats a ton of tiny mouths you have running around.

I also see a dragon or 2 that I wouldnt mind having show up down here lol.
 
Wild cought or captive bred? mean little #$*^*%$#

Or there just smiling for the camera?:shrug01::dgrin:

This was the third cross on this thread(i hope we get our pics back).This cross was a double het leather male to a female Translucent.

Out of all eggs that hatched, yes 100% hatch ratio. No problems!

16 eggs, 12 were translucents, and out of 12 trans 8 were leatherbacks!
