    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

No sheds yet. I fed one of the twins (neither twin absorbed much yolk), but the smaller one wouldn't eat. I hope he/she survives! All the rest are feisty and lively.
 
You might consider keeping the twins on their own heat, so you can play with their temps a bit. Keep them a little warmer, and let their metabolism pick up a bit. It may help with the non feeding one.

Although it's not working for one of my Sunglows. LOL
 
Nope - none have shed yet (still waiting)... All are doing nicely and becoming more active. The twin that ate already is feisty and hisses, and so is #3. I have two in one divided bin, and the other 3 in a 3-way divided bin - and they're boisterous enough now that I have to juggle snakes when I open the top now, they want to get out and explore.

All except one have a solid head stripe. And the one that doesn't have a full head stripe has an interesting pattern. I can't wait to see their shed colors.

Do babies shed all in one piece like adults do? I hope I didn't miss a shed while throwing out wet paper towel bedding.
 
Good news - both the stronger twin and the weaker twin ate f/t rat pinks tonight, both unprovoked, just left in the cage with them. This makes meal #2 for the stronger twin, and at least gives little twin some energy to draw from.

The other 3 were offered just for the heck of it- they got hissy but didn't want to eat, so I'll continue to wait until they shed. Each of those three got to absorb yolk, and they are giants compared to the twins, so I'm not worried about them.
