    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....

Bad start to the season

I know most people are hatching right now...but this is the time of year that my girls are always deciding to lay their eggs. I have five gravid gals all due to go in the next week to two weeks.

Sadly my dinker to harlequin slugged out. Sigh. She laid two 'good' looking eggs, but they have really weak veins. I put them in the incubator just in case. She was a good 1400 gram gal, and had a nice huge ovulation, everything looked good until she laid.

So now I'm on pins and needles waiting for the rest!!

I'm right there with you Lauren. All mine usually lay during the summer and hatch August to September. I just had my first clutch of 12 eggs from a axanthic spider to proven het axanthic and they were all infertile. I knew he was on the small side but that's the price we pay sometimes trying to breed a male yearling. Just because they hit the magic number that tell you a female would have a year or so more, we try and breed them sometimes. I hope you have all the rest of your clutches with good odds.
 
I'm not sure what went wrong here, my harlequin boy was 800 plus grams...but you just never know what goes wrong sometimes!

I'm glad I'm not the only one twiddling thumbs waiting on eggs!

Sorry to hear about the infertile clutch! Arrrggghhh.
 
Yeah we thought we would have between 80-100 clutches but it is now about 45-55. Really waiting on about 15 of them waiting and hoping for greatness! And cutting down the collection by at least 60-70 snakes this year besides hatchlings.
 
I'm trying to cut down on my collection by two snakes and I can't seem to sell them even at silly low prices and they are great breeders!! Multi gene dudes! Sigh.

Good luck to both of you and sorry about the sluggers.
