    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....

First Clutch is Hatching!

I just found out less than an hour ago...but I couldn't wait 'til more were out to post!!!!

This little guy is the only one with his head out, but the egg in the upper-left of that picture has a slit in it, so that one's not far behind! SO EXCITED to have my very first babies!!!

The proud parents, Iridium (Lesser) and Irulan (normal):

Thank you very much! Yeah, when I first saw Iridium as a baby in a Kingsnake.com ad, I just had to have him! He was my first morph!

Well, there's still only one with its head out, so peeked in the rest of the eggs just enough to see what was there. I'm pretty sure I have three Lessers and five normals. I feel bad about feeling kinda disappointed.... As long as they're all healthy, I should be happy. :) Besides, three Lessers really isn't too bad of odds! Plus, the one Lesser who is almost out looks GORGEOUS!

I'll be posting pictures as soon as they start coming completely out of their eggs!
 
No, you didn't. :p I actually guessed this ratio from the outset! My friends guessed what you did (except for the one friend who said they'd all be Lessers--goofball). ;)

You jinxed it yourself hehe. But at least you were right! :D
 
Not much to update today. All three Lessers have stuck their heads out at some point or another. One normal has slit its egg, but the rest of the suspected normals haven't done anything yet.

But hey, that means the Lessers will probably be leaving their eggs first, so y'all will get pics of them first! From what I can see, they are taking after their daddy: wacky over-the-spine yellow patterns and massive flames. (Yep, even as newly-hatched snakes, their flames go all the way up to the side pattern!)
 
Finally! Someone to hug and cuddle...and photograph!

This is the Lesser with her head sticking out (in the first picture I posted). Pretty sure she's a she. If I hold back a Lesser, it'll probably be this one.

I'm amazed at how much her pattern echoes her dad's. Oh, and she's only 52.5 grams! (Not surprising since Irulan's eggs were all kinda on the small side.)
