    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.

    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....

I got my pair of Borrego rosy boas less than a month and a half ago in a great deal with Michael Rehker (uf_g8or) from Middle Tennessee Reptiles. Michael told me that he had seen them hook up a few times, but he didn't know if the female was pregnant. She refused her last meal, and she was staying away from the warm side of her tub, from which she'd hardly strayed since I got her. These are signs that a female's about to give birth, so I've been checking her daily.

Last night I looked in on her and I saw her tail. Then I saw another tail. I looked closer and saw a mini-rosy looking back at me. There were four in all. The pics are numbered. The presumed males are the odd-numbered babies. Sex determination was based on tail length alone, so I could be wrong. I thought I got a good price on the pair, but it turned out to be an excellent price for six Borregos! :)

So he hooked them up in, like, January?
This is the earliest litter I've heard of. Great stuff!
I'd be interested in a male if you're interested in parting w/any...

Thanks John! :) I'm no rosy expert, but I thought I'd read somewhere that the coastals went even later than the Mexicans, so this was a surprise.

I think I should have a male for you. I'll PM you. :)
