    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....

one of my babies has an overbite, the lower jaw is too short.
she has had 5 meals with no problems, rat fuzzies.
this is the second clutch from the same parents. The previous
clutch of 6 were all fine. she was the only one to hatch, the
other 3 eggs were slugs.
to me, she is quite valuable for breeding purposes.
I've read everything I could find on this, and so far, the consensus is
50/50 - incubator issue or genetic.

Question - grow her as a pet or breeder?

thank you in advance.
 
I wouldn't rule out genetic. I have produced no eye and short jaw babies from one certain females for back to back years. Those eggs along with a number of other clutches in the same incubator and only that females eggs come out with deformities. I wouldn't take the chance and raise as pet only..
