    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....

Finally I get some eggs!

I've been running out of patience waiting for my first clutch of the year. Didn't help that it seemed everyone else was talking about clutch 3 and 4. Well good things come to those who wait and yesterday I woke to my normal girl Zeva laying her 3rd egg. Since she struck at me twice trying to get a pic, I left her alone and headed off to work. When I came home and peeled her off, she was so tired she didn't put up much fight. I got 7 healthy eggs that I hope are all Fire females. I also had a huge huge OV from my dinker girl last night, she is at 2500 grams and I expect 8-9 eggs from her. Then to top it off my Pewterblast locked up for the first time last night. Wasn't gonna breed him this year, but the season is going so late for me I figured why the heck not. So yesterday was a huge lift for a season that had kinda lost it's steam for me. Good luck with all your other clutches and happy herping.
 
here is a pick of me peeling her off. Given her two strikes at me earlier I thought it prudent to put on my cutproof gloves I use to handle the rats, ends up I didnt need them.

I've been bit by her and it's not much fun, so after her fiesty attitude this morning I was taking no chances. LOL Thanks
 
Other then trying to coil around the eggs, she didn't move or even look at me. She was wiped out. Named her Zeva cuz she is a warrior princess that normally has attitude, but not after poopin out 7 healthy eggs that average about 100 grams each.
 
Congrats Mike on the eggs! I have to ask since I've always wondered, in your avatar, are you on the right or the left? Again congrats and love the gloves!:D
 
Congrats on your first clutch!! Can't wait to see all those female fires!!! :D
 
Thank you evryone.

I do look alittle Michael Jackson meets FMJ with one chainmail glove on Randy! LOL

Just the first clutch this season Matt, although it's been so long it feels like first clutch ever.

I was pretty sure we were just talking about this season. But I've got my first clutch of the season getting ready to hatch next weekend and it's about as exciting to me as my very first...except that by now I've done it enough times to not worry so much that I'm going to screw it up!
