    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....

Only doing one breeding of corns this year. Vash, Phantom Masque, poss het Amel x Stormy, Phantom, suspected Masque, poss het Amel. This was the first witnessed lock between them that I saw.

And then the second witnessed lock.

Stormy just shed last night with what I'm thinking was her pre-lay shed. Expecting eggs any day now.
 
Stormy started to lay this morning and is up to at least 7 great looking eggs, that I can see. Pictures to come once she is finished!
 
Here is Stormy, a bit deflated after losing 204 grams from laying her eggs. And I miss counted, not surprising after as little sleep as I had at the time. There are 27 eggs.

Here are some more egg pictures, two look slightly iffy but the others are looking very good.

This one is the only one not connected to the others and despite what seems to be good humidity, has dented in. It does however have good veins at the moment.

Then the middle one at the bottom of the picture is the other iffy one that had a window and is smaller than all of the others. It has no veins that I can see but is not positioned well for candling. It is firmly connected to other eggs.

Now at five pips and one completely out.

First baby, SxV61114-1 or likely to just be called #1. Came in at 7 grams, wonderful temperament so far. And first gender check looked female. (I candled her briefly, before getting her squared away) Will check gender a few more times after she starts eating though, before officially labeling #1 a girl.

Another one has emerged and one more has pipped, with a third being halfway out. While I moved the one out to it's enclosure, my husband snapped a few more pics of the pippies.

Then here is SxV61114-2 or #2. This one is 6 grams and also appeared female, although it really didn't want to cooperate with me checking, so I'm really not sure on that.

There were a total of 4 out this morning and 3 pips. All Phantoms so far.
Baby pile!

SxV61114-4 is 6 grams and came up as maybe male.

SxV61114-5 is 7 grams, kind of bald looking head, looks a bit like Vash. Maybe male.

SxV61114-8 is 6 grams and maybe candled male. He is the closest thing to a hateling in the clutch so far and that little bit of ill temper was very mild, just flattened his head a bit and looked askance at my hand when I went to pick him up. But he got over his dislike and then didn't want to get off my hand into his enclosure.

Unfortunately my candling light appears to be dying, the switch to turn it off has broken and it's not very bright anymore. It's a cheap LED reading light I got about 8 year ago and it cost less than $3, so it doesn't owe anyone anything more but now I'm going to have to find a new one ...

Another one out. This one surprised me a bit, as it's from the egg(s) under the big middle clump that I've never managed to see very well and still not sure if there is only the one egg under there or two. The upper eggs haven't pipped yet. Hadn't even known that egg had pipped!

SxV61114-9. Weighs 6 grams and no idea on gender as my poor LED has about officially bitten the dust.

Next 2 are out and 3 more pipped. All Phantoms, have 7 more chances for a Blizzard though. SxV61314-11 is 6 grams.

All but two eggs have pipped now and are all Phantoms. Thinking that I'm not going to get lucky and hit that long shot Blizzard.
Here is SxV61314-15, weight is 6 grams.

Got a new LED candling light, man is it soooooo bright! So easy to see things now! The old one must of been growing dimmer for a long time. I'll have to go through and candle all the hatchlings with the new light here soon.

SxV61414-20 weight 6 grams. Neat saddles. Candled male.
