    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....

Bounty on the Morph Fairy's head!!

I want that chicks head on a silver platter!! She's ignoring me and not doing her job.

As some of you know I purchased a Het Caramel pair back in 05 for a lot of money. This pair gave me 7 normal appearing babies in 07. Well, their latest clutch has pipped and guess what, 8 normal appearing babies! I've wanted a caramel for so long. 15 eggs and no caramels. :ack2::ack2:

Another clutch of normal x spider gave me 2 spiders out of 9 eggs.

I did get 6 albino's from my albino x albino clutch.

:bandhead0:bawling:
 
Only 1/3 of the way through my season, I can't join your posse to hunt her down yet (hoping to rectify my less than great odds thus far, as the season progresses), but my buddy just hatched a clutch that should've produced at least one spider axanthic, if not more.....but NO axanthics. I'm sure he's ready to join forces with you!

Sorry to hear it happened to you, too, but I hope you have some more eggs so that you can make up for it. Good luck!!
 
I would say that you got ripped off on the pair of so called het for caramel. Sorry for your luck.
 
I do have paperwork and they came from some of the best in the business, so I am sure there was no scamming. Must be a mixup somewhere though. I am in contact with all involved. I just needed to vent, cry and whine a bit.
 
I hope you get this resolved, it's hard to pinpoint where your pair came from after many years I would assume?

I know exactly where they came from and the breeder's reputation and quality of animals is top notch. I am sure the breeder and I will figure it out.

It is not my intent to bash anyone. Mixups happen to the best of us.

I am wondering why I chose to get into recessive's year's ago, when I have zero patience. lol
 
So far things in my ball python world have been simple. But I imagine as time goes by I will find myself in your shoes with things like *%^&$@#%*?>~~<!!!!!!! flying out of my mouth. Best of luck on the rest of your clutches.
 
I am sorry for your pain...I understand..but the fairy isn't totally to blame. Mother Nature has a share in it!

Stands with rifle resting across forearms while Fairy cowers behind her....

Hollers at the mob, "She's doing her job! She's tired, she can't do it all alone!":rofl:

Better luck next time.:thumbsup:

I instantly got the picture of Mother Nature from those feminin hygiene commercials in my head. lol If she had a hand in my bad luck then she must be punished as well. I'm heading out to my tack room for my good leather horse whip. :dgrin:

And another dose of bad luck, my 04 Albino female that finally got up to breeding weight and gave me 6 beautiful babies last week, is refusing to eat again. There's no way she's gonna get up to weight for this next season.

There's two paragraphs evoking two different feelings, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. :ack2:

On the female tip..if you washed the girl very well in some Chlorhexadine and her tub and tub slot, THEN wait a week or two with nothing but water at her disposal, this usually gives them time to remember that they are hungry.

Sometimes, I get a stubborn one that seems to WANT to miss her clutch..I simply wait them out, they do seem to have very, very short memories.;)

Sending some luck your way.:)
