    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. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

Apparently i'm a mom...

Hello,

So about two months ago I added an adult female to my male's enclosure and when I was cleaning the other day, these two babies came out of the dirt. Scared the bajeebus out of me! I'd always entertained the idea of breeding them but hadn't really set aside the time to do my research. Therefore, I have no idea what colors/morphs these guys are. I was hoping someone could tell me and explain or point me in the general direction to find out. Thank you! :thumbsup:

Had to chuckle imagining your surprise.:D
Cannot go on color since the pics are not the greatest and color can change.
Also, cannot see their sides.
However, based on what I can see, I will tentatively (though pretty certain) say that what you have there are a couple of adorable Flames (morph).
 
Looks like tiger patterns on the backs. But, I'm sure more experienced keepers will offer much better expertise than mine.

They look nice, whatever they are!

That is not what makes a Tiger a Tiger. What you are seeing are the normal splits, between "chevrons", on a typical back pattern. It's the pattern carried when not a Patternless nor a Pinstripe.

Cannot see sides to determine whether, or not, they are Tigers and the pics are not very clean/clear for 100% determination.
Even so, Tiger identification, on very young Cresties, can be tricky at times (depending). This is because, sometimes, non-Tiger babies can have a tiger type patterning that ends up disappearing when a bit older.
