    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'm sure most everyone knows a little bit about the Citrus story, but you might not know about Flames. Citrus is Amir's line of pastel, Flame is his line of fire. There has been considerable debate about the Citrus project and what Citrus can or can't do, and if there is perhaps another gene involved with the Citrus. I believe there is another gene involved. My evidence for that is my Citrus G-Stripes. About half of them are much brighter and have a different look. But for now that is enough about the Citrus G-Stripes, this post is about the Citrus Flames. I'll do the Stripe story at another time. Flame is Amir's line of Fire. It produces a black eye lucy with a tendency to have some yellow blotches, it also has a little more reduced pattern than a fire. I have several Citrus Flames and also what I believe is a Citrus Flame Bee. The CF Bee has a sibling paradox Queen Bee. There were multiple sires of the clutch, a Citrus Flame and a pastel butter. The dam was a spider. If one is a Citrus Flame Bee and the other is a Queen Bee, I hit all of the odds on both snakes. I'll find out more this year by breeding the Citrus Flame male to more spiders. I don't know why the Citrus Flames are so bright and the Citrus Flame Bee is so pale, I like both looks but can't explain the difference.

This is a good comparison shot.
If you are in Tinley this weekend you can view a couple of the Citrus Flames in person, feel free to contact me for details. If you have made it this far, thanks for reading, I hope you enjoy the pictures.

I've had the opportunity to see These snakes on a few occasions and they really do look that good , probably better. In my opinion they look at least two times as bright, clean and yellow when compared to their firefly counterparts. I'm certainly not a Citrus expert and would never pay for a mystical gene that nobody knows yet how it works, on an average looking animal,but when something looks this good, I think that if you are willing to pay for A+ stuff, this is it. Can't wait to see what the Vanilla gene does with these!
