    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....

I've got EGGS!!!!!

I love the pic of the light colored baby on the rock with his eyes closed, like ahhhhhh, this is so perfectly comfortable!

What a bunch of darling little fatties!

DRAGON PILE!!! :D

Well, it's certainly not difficult to see WHY you're getting attached. I mean, really...who could resist those little faces?
 
Here we go again! :D Checked clutch #2 in the incubator and the first has hatched! I should have a little better hatch-rate in this clutch. I'll post some pics in a few days.

Woohoo! Go babies! Can't wait to see them. That first clutch is already chunky monkeys!

I didn't realize how chunky they were, 'til these TINY ones started coming out again! I've only got these 2 out now, but another 4-5 have pipped and look like they're sleeping in this morning, in their little sleeping bags! :)

1st pic came out over 24 hours ago. 2nd pic had JUST come out of it's shell when I opened the tub to check on them. Since there's only 1 other in the tank, I figured he'd get plenty of rest where I could see him. Can't believe how much color this one has, right out of the egg. Will definitely be one to watch!

Look how chunky already! So cute. And that second one....holdback? Imagine how that one's going to look in a few months. Better have some sunglasses handy!
 
AWwwwwwwwwwwwwww- Baby Dragons are SO cute! Do You also breed Crix? The main reason I never bred my Dragins was the expense of feeding all those babies all those pinhead Crix...LOL. So, Mine are no more than pets. But, They are pampered pets :)

Thanks Tere!! And yeah, I was just showing my wife how colorful it is, and then realized that it's double the size of the first!! I will definitely not be in a hurry to let it go.

Thanks Rayna!! They definitely get expensive, even with only a few adults! I started raising Dubia at the beginning of the year. Thought I had enough, but just had to order 1000 small to give my adults time to produce more. Went ahead and increased my adult numbers, too. These little guys really start chowing down somewhere between 1 and 2 weeks old!!! I've got a surplus of ones for my adults, but the babies...:eek: MAN, can they EAT!! lol

Thanks Hillary!! This 2nd clutch is looking better than the 1st! Some REAL color on a few of these babies, right out of the egg.

I've only gotten 2 hypos out of 14 hatched, but I've got 2 more eggs. IF they hatch, I'm hoping that they'll be hypo. Then I'll be shooting par with 4 of 16. Either way, my hatch rate is already way better. 1st clutch hatched 8 of 28. 2nd clutch (so far) is 14 out of 26. Last 2 still show good signs of making it.

Here's a few more pics. Up to 15 now. 15th is still in the incubator, as he was just getting out of his egg when I checked on him this morning. Poor little guy was exhausted!

There's way too many in one tank right now, but that's only for another couple of hours. Just wanted to get a few pics of them all together before they're split into groups. I see a few that are going to be in my "favorite" group. Can't wait to see what that goup looks like in about 6 months. Clutch #3 should be in less than 3 weeks!

Now, that's a LOT of roach eaters right there! They are so cute, Matt, and there's just so many colorful ones already!
