    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....

looks promising so far

Thanks.
With these guys I was told I will need all the luck I can get.
I was just happy she did not try to eat her mate :eek:

Also, I forgot to mention they are western type blackheads; big price difference, better looking as adults.
 
need advice

So she laid 5 good eggs and 1 slug on May 2nd.
They are fertile, and blood vessels can be seen when candled.
I have them incubating but they are slowly shriveling up and trying really hard to get moldy.
I did not have these sorts of problems when I did my woma eggs and I am doing things about the same.
They are sitting at 88-89 degrees on vermiculite (lightly damp, not wet) with humidity around 90%. I open the egg box briefly at least weekly to let in some fresh air (although there is ventilation on the egg box).

I had heard BHP eggs were tough from a few different people, but this is just driving me crazy.

Any advice that may help me get these eggs to term would be greatly appreciated.
 
well, 4 of the 5 eggs were beyond saving so I had to preform a badeggectomy.
The lone surviving egg seems to be alright, for now, but I am not going to get my hopes too high. Just going to nurse it along and hope for the best.
Just part of life.
I'll try again in the 2016/17 season.
 
Total Loss

The last egg exploded with mold, almost overnight.
I did all I could.
I incubated them the same as my successful woma clutch but it all just fell apart for these ones.
I'll try again in the 2016/17 season.
 
aww that's a shame, sorry to hear it.
I hope next season is better!
I've been getting weird mold in the snake room this year as well, never happened before. I wonder if it's our bizarre weather or something.

I would not be surprised.

The last couple winters have not really lent themselves to breeding, being so warm and dry. I was surprised I got anything.
