    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....

I have a clutch of eggs in the incubator temps are 89 humidity on both acurites always says HI unless you open the door then it drops to 80% or so for a bit then its back to HI. They belong to a friend of mine and he was not sure when they were laid but they have been in the incubator for 47 days. They were originally put in vermiculite and it kinda dried out and they started to dimple some around day 35 so I changed them to the substrateles method on day 35 with perilite and water and they plumped back up some but not all the way. Now they are sinking in quite a bit what should I do? I candled the worst one the other day and it still has good veins and a big dark area. Should I pip them or just wait?

They dimple in the weeks before they hatch, so it looks like you're getting close. As long as you've got good strong veins and nothing smells off you should be good to go. Congrats!
