    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....

Hatching!

So this morning just prior to leaving the house for work, I checked the incubator to find that the clutch of 14 from albino western hognose x 100% het albino female was beginning to hatch!! I wasn't really expecting hatchlings for another week or so, but one little nose was making its way through the egg!!!

The only one that I saw so far is only a het, but hopefully I'll be coming home to a few albino noses peeking out o the eggs...

I'll post pictures as soon as I possibly can.

*Excitement*
 
I know... I REALLY can't wait to get out of work to see what I've got... The suspense is killing me!!

Hopefully my luck stays good... So far I'm very female heavy.
 
Well... still no one out of the egg... got 3 noses peeking out though so far... 2 hets, and 1 albino...
 
Here is a picture of the babies hatching as of this morning... Got a few more peeking their heads out, but no one wants to come out of the egg quite yet...

Everyone is very healthy looking, and all shed very well... One buried itself in the vermiculite and REALLY wanted me to think she was dead when I found her... (First time I've seen a hognose play dead... VERY cute..)
 
Congrats! They look awesome. I like the light-colored male at the top. His pattern looks a little different. More banded than spotted.
