    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 know along the way i made a mistake it was my 1st try at this
my citrus x citrus laid 9 eggs i got the exo terra incubator pt2499
and i used repashy superhatch in plastic tubs with lids that i poked pencil size holes in i put 3 eggs per container covered them 60-70%
after 2 weeks in the incubator every egg was covered with mold
the only thing i did was every 3rd day looked at the eggs and checked the humidy levels
i dont understand why this happened but i would like to learn how to prevent this from happening again and hatching out healthy clutches
any help would be great
thanks mike
 
I look at all the containers and dry off the lid of any extra water. I still get 1 or 2 that still mold but not that often. Keep tring its fun
 
well thats what i started with m/f citrus now i have alot more
1. citrus
.2 citrus
.1german giant
1.peach/yellow/blue hypo
.1 fire tiger
.1 hypo
and my ball python collection also only about 10 snakes so far
i just wanna make sure its not on my end that these reptiles die
 
If she only laid 9 eggs and it was her first clutch, the eggs probably weren't good to begin with. It's pretty common (for whatever reason) for females to not be very productive for their first breeding season, than take off after that multi-clutching with 80-90% of the eggs being good/fertile.
 
You may not be done yet, Mike. I bred a virgin female earlier in the year, and I currently have her 5th clutch in the incubator. Her 1st was 28 eggs, but only 8 of those hatched. Success rate has improved dramatically with each clutch (except for clutch 4 of 40 eggs that I screwed up). I'm hoping it will improve more next season. Good luck with yours!!
 
i have a really nice citrus pastel bearded adult female and also i high orange & green juvi bearded as well as a adult spider bp female
