    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....

Hey Everyone,

I'm onto my fifth hatchling of the season (I only breed one of my females). This one came out a pretty stripe... It's not like most of the stripes I've seen out there though. Perhaps it's just a freak accident that it's pattern is like a stripe? The parents don't have any stripe in them as far as I was told by their breeders, just some regular old SHT/SHTCT's as far as I know.

Here's the thread from the first two hatchlings that were somewhat stripey: First two hatchlings


Lastly, here's the pic of my fifth.

Enjoy!
 
Thats an awesome looking leopard! Reverse striped non albinos are rare!
 
Update on day 4 and more...

Here's this hatchling 4 days later:

Here's the first two today (approx 6 weeks old):

And I finally got a pic of mom. She looked really dull today, I think she's going to go into shed as I found her in a humid hide. She's recovering nicely after her first season (10 eggs total, all fertile!).

Mom seems to have a thin stripe going up her spine, but I'm not sure it that's normal or not.
