    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....

Just a real quick question for you all.

Out of curiosity, is there anyone out there who breeds these species [preferably the northern varieties]?



Thanks!
 
Addendum:
Also, does anyone breed the Great Plains skink?

For some reason, some of our native species have really been catching my eye over the past couple of days.
 
I doubt it. There's not enough of a market, and the babies are TEENY TINY...not even large enough to eat pihead crickets. So raising the young is difficult.

It would just take someone with a very dedicated interest, access to small insects and not bothered with trying to make money. I don't think there's anyone that interested. The same reason no one breeds anoles or Mediterranean geckos, etc.
