    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....

This clutch was yellowbelly fire x blonde pastel.
7 eggs, 8 babies
Enough talk, here are the pics (twins first)
Yes, I know there are only 6 babies right now - 2 are still debating on whether they want to face the world. I'll add them tomorrow

Before anybody thinks to correct me, I realize it's Od's bodkins...I used Odds because they were good to me.
Pic 1: I thought the twins were fires while they were in the egg, now they look a little darker to me. :shrug01:
Pic 2: I'm thinking firefly on the left; pastel yellowbelly fire on the right
Pic 3: Pastel yellowbelly and yellowbelly
Pic 4: I'm thinking firefly on both...but, at this moment, I'm not positive.

This is my first clutch with fire and/or yellowbelly for just that reason.
I'm fairly confident that I've got the combos right - it helps that I've got one of each for comparison - but I'm open to being corrected if I am mistaken.
I'm not totally sold on the "firefly"; but, after identifying the pastel yb, that seemed like the best call. It could be a less impressive triple; but I'd rather miss by omission than add something that isn't there.

Oh, and I just took a closer look at the twins...and I'm now thinking yb for them. The bigger one has the belly markings. Makes sense, too, since they look like the other yb in the clutch.

I was just going to say, I think the twins might be yb based on the sides of the one on the left (what I can see anyway). Very nice looking babies.

And yea, much easier to tell when you have one of each :p. If I didn't see the pic 2 I don't know if I would have been able to say for sure.
 
When I first looked at the twins' bellies, they were squirming; so the "tracks" were sort of shifted up the sides, making the bellies look clear.

From what I can see of the last two, I'm thinking firefly and pastel yellowbelly. They should be out by morning.
 
Last two are posted....I'll admit that I'm a bit confused. I'm seeing some things that suggest yellowbelly; but the overall look says they're the same as the one on the left in pic 2. I tentatively called that one a firefly, so that what I'm going with here. Unless/until somebody convinces me otherwise, or until they shed.

Figures I'd get ugly a$$, spotted up fireflies :shootfoot
 
They look alot like the firefly in pic #2. I believe the one on the right in pic #2 is a fire pastel yb. Dang those spotted fireflies.

Agreed

I believe the one on the right in pic #2 is a fire pastel yb.

Yeah - there was no doubt in my mind about the pastel yellowbelly fire; I was sure about her when she was still in the egg.

Dang those spotted fireflies.

I know, right? If I still kept monitors, I'd be tempted to feed those off after I got a few meals in them.
 
Just realized that there were two I didn't check: the smaller twin and one of the last pair posted. Guess that makes it 2.4.2; with the males being the first firefly and the pastel yellowbelly.
