• In case most of you have not noticed, I made changes to the donation amounts as well as the durations for all of the paid membership levels. Things are winding down here, and this seems to be the most prudent way to deal with the "end of life" period of this site.

    Contributor level members - $10 per 30 days
    Sponsors - Eliminated
    Benefactor level members - $25 per 30 days
    Endowment level members - $50 per 30 days

    On July 1, 2027, all paid memberships will be closed.

    On August 1, 2027, FaunaClassifieds will be terminated.

    Only change I expect that might take place is when I can get around to figuring out when the amount of money I would have to refund for the yearly paid memberships becomes less than the monthly expense of leasing my server, THAT date might be the termination date for the site.

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!
