    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....

There are still two in the egg; but it's time to post pics of the 4 that aren't...

The super black wasn't coming out of the egg; so, after a few days, I cut the egg away. "He" had already absorbed the yolk. I'm disappointed to report that he was duck billed, with a fairly large growth at the end of his snout. Within 48 hrs, he was basically without muscle tone. I can only say that I regret not culling him sooner.
 
He was culled when I noticed a reduction in muscle tone.
(I was going to do it immediately upon seeing the mass; but something held me back)

Looks like another male heavy clutch - 4.1
The female is the one that I'm thinking will end up a silverstreak (Obviously, she isn't going to turn into a streak if she isn't one already....I just haven't made the call, yet, as my black pewters tend to be pretty light out of the egg. I'll see what she looks like after a couple of sheds before I label her.
 
I'm so sorry. Yours is the second clutch I've read about this year where super black pastel / super cinny / 8-ball babies had to be culled. It really stinks because they are such beautiful combos.
