    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 O. p. coxi clutch of the year hatching.

Serenity and Atari's first clutch started to hatch last night, up to 4 pips this morning.

The second baby is out now, a nice hefty 13.3 grams! Wasn't cooperative either but maybe male?

Gorgeous! Your adults make great looking babies. I find it interesting that they are almost identical in appearance with the single saddle behind the head. The girl I got from you looked the exact same. Have you ever produced any babies without the saddle or multiple saddles? By the way, my pulcher is gravid again but it feels like only 3 eggs this time.
 
Yeah, this clutch was a little weird. Six look identical, one has no band and one has one thin band. Previous clutches, the one fairly thick band was the most common, 7 out of 10 had it and 3 had no cross bars at all.

The male sire has no cross bars and the dam has 3.

Has your first clutch of pulcher hatched yet?
 
Not yet...they were layed on 4/30 so I'm guessing another few weeks. The four fertile ones still look good. The fifth one ended up being a slug.
 
Some updated pictures of the new babies, taken today outdoors.

Did all the males first.
First up AxS52915-2

Thanks! So far they are all eating quite well, 6 took straight to F/T but #2 has only taken live so far.

Here come the girls.
AxS53015-1. Pictures didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped.

They are all gorgeous! Their older sister is starting to lose her crossbar (she's the one on the bottom). She's also getting much more calm when handled. If anyone is thinking about getting a coxi I can't recommend Amanda enough!
