    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.....

    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....

Opinions needed please.

So, as some of you saw, we cut our first clutch ever yesterday.
3 bees(1 ringer), 1 spider, and one pastel.

What I need opinions on is.... what on earth is going on with this pastel? I am fearing I might holdback EVERYTHING XD

Spider x pastel pairing
I am no noob, but no expert either. I feel like this guy is different. Really different.

Update on him, unfortunately not too good.

He started to come out today and seems to have a pretty bad kink. I am not 100% sure yet. He also seems to have a lot of his yolk sack left. I moved him(in the egg) out of the incubator and onto some clean moist paper towels in the baby rack so he would be trying to drag his yolk sack around in the vermiculite. I will keep everyone posted on how he does.
 
I hope you didnt mess with him too much while he was in the egg. :( That could make him come out before he had absorbed all his yolk. In years past, from me cutting eggs, Ive had many babies come out with quite a bit of yolk. This year I have been very picky when using the razor blade and only using it after either the first one has pipped, or, if I cut before the first one has to see whats inside, I cut the tinyiest little V anyone has ever seen just so I can take a peek without causing much ruckus. This year, not a single one has come out with any yolk still and only one has come out with an umbilical cord not fully absorbed which fell off shortly after. Just something I thought I would share. I hope the little guy isnt kinked. Good luck!
