    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 will use this thread to document my Corn and Rat attempts this season.

I have been anticipating this pairing since they were born. The mother was at least 12 yrs old when I bought out Dan Perry a couple years ago, but had not been bred in at least 3 seasons. Sadly, she passed away a few months after laying her eggs. I bred two albino Black Rats together, and one of the first snakes out of the egg looked normal, not albino. After they all come out I realized there were T+ and T- albinos in the clutch. I was very happy to say the least.



The clutch:

My pair:

I went to check on the female since she wasn't in her nest box. She had laid her eggs in the hide box. I made use of several of the coffee containers we throw out every few days. When laid on its side with the lid on, it makes a great hide box if you cut a hole in the lid.

I got my first eggs today from the second round of pairings. They are from my triple het corn pairing, motley striped bloods. Fingers are crossed! I will try and get a photo later if possible.
 
Thanks. I really enjoy working with the locality corns. They are getting better with each generation.
