    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....

So, attempting to breed this year has been fantastic. I've watched their courting and mating behaviors, sometimes sitting in my snake room with the lights low for long stretches of time. This is all new to me, and it's all fascinating.

Now that the breeding is done and four of my females appear gravid, it's all only a matter of time. The first litter is due in 16 days, and the last is due August 5th. However, the female who is due first has begun building nests on the cool end of her enclosure. I'm a little nervous seeing that, thinking that the babies might come a little premature. Any of you guys happen to have an estimate of how long females usually start nesting before giving birth?
 
Apparently it can begin at least a week before she gives birth, lol. Ten days to go 'till her due date. She's still nesting, and still camped out on the cool end of her enclosure. I've been spending as little time in my reptile room as possible. I'm very anxious and I'm sure she'd rather just be left alone, all things considered.

Best of luck with your babies everybody!
