    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

HELP!!

My first clutch ever pipped on day 52, 7/1 (weird because it incubated at 89 degrees). The lesser came right out of its egg but hadn't absorbed its yoke. I put it on wet paper towel and left it be. The size of the yoke went down about half and today 7/4 the sac smelled rotten and hadn't reduced in size since 7/3 so I tied off the cord and snipped off the yoke. He/she is 40 grams and alert and kind of active but no where near as active as his clutch mate (female normal). I did some research prior to snipping the yolk off but am still unsure about what to do next. Any response helps, especially if you have done this before. Thanks. I attached a picture of the yoke at its most absorbed state and a post snip tied off cord.

That should dry up and fall off after the first shed. I had a similar hatchling this year and I assist fed her a pinky the day she shed just to make sure she had something in her. After the assist feed she took a live hopper mouse on her own and is doing great now.
