    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....

April snow storn brings Coral babies.

The female only had three viable babies last year and 15 slugs. This means, for whatever reason, during breeding last year she chose to retain the sperm rather than use it.

This is just another reason to not breed females two years in a row.

There is a good chance your albino male only encouraged her to use retained sperm and contributed nothing of his own.

I wouldn't have bred her but since she had such a bad litter and lost no weight,I went for it. I will keep this in mind in case it ever happens again.

I'm still hoping he did contribute and gives me a couple nice corals.
 
Two that I know of are. But the dad I bred her to last year is a Lipstick/Coral line Sunglow.
But nothing that looked like the Coral male I put her with. He was highly Coraled way before a year old. So I believe the whole litter was from my Sunglow male.

Wouldn't it be funny if she drops a litter this spring from last years Coral breeding. She's healthy enough and put all her weight back on. But what's the chances she retained sperm again? Rare I'd think.
 
Oh wow. That's really interesting. I never knew about sperm retention in boas until this thread. I going to tag along ☺ Any chance of update pics if the babies?
