    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Im Tired Of Waiting!!! So Here He is My Bana...

And if he's a willing breeder, personally the luck hasn't been with me on young males even though they were plenty large enough and had plugs. I'm hoping my luck changes this season on young males.

Good luck & keep us posted!!

I agree with Steve completely...

Don't count your chickens... It makes for a painful season of replanning.

Personally if I had a limited number of females and my prize male wasn't ready I wouldn't breed the females till the prize male was ready even if I had to skip a season.
 
If I had a lesser het clown male that refused to breed my het clown girls the whole season I'd be all about throwing a clown male in to seal the deal, but that's just me :)

But then you might be putting off Lesser Clowns two possibly three years if you let another male breed the females. By holding off a year you can also have the females larger to produce larger clutches which I prefer anyway. I rather have 8 + larger eggs than 5 or less smaller eggs.
 
Depending on how many het girls you have, you could always let half take some time off so they will be good and ready for your lesser het male next time around. The ones you breed this season will stand a greater chance of not producing wnen the lesser is ready. My biggest het clown girl who laid eggs last year did not go this year. I wasn't too disappointed because I will have some morph hets ready next year for her anyways.

That being said, pastel clowns are not a bad consolation prize either, so you really can't lose.
 
I Dont Mind If My Females Breed This Season. The 2012-2013 season i will have some more female hets up to size and my female clown will be ready too.

I'm always concerned about sperm retention playing the recessive game so you are right,
I wasn't thinking that through clearly.
If he breeds the clown to the hets and they don't take and they retain sperm, the next season could be a disappointment if the clown hits and the lesser doesn't.
 
Im in the same boat just a little farther behind than you. I have a male clown that should be ready but a female lesser that went on a feeding strike early this season. My lesser clowns are seeming even farther away. I have a female mojo that does look ready though, we will see..... Nice lesser BTW
 
Nice lesser. And I hope that your original plans workout the way you want, with several lesser clowns! ;)

I'm in a similar boat with my black pewter het ghost, and my caramel albino het glow being my 2 most anticipated, but very young males (both small 2010's). I'm just hoping that I got all my bad luck behind me this year with LOTS of slugs, and that these boys will help make 2011/12 awesome!
