    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....

Finally, Living Gems is reaching the scale where we can pick and choose our breeder animals for the next year. We will have ten females large enough to breed this season, from which we will choose eight.

Our third pairing this year puts together DuVall and Spessartine in pursuit of a high orange litter. It is a new pairing.

Spessartine
Spessartine looks electric orange, but comes from a high-red genetic family tree:

She has been paired with Prometheus for the past two years, but did not produce any babies (I got the distinct impression Spess does not like him)...so this year we will see if DuVall…

…a stunning orange July 2010 male named for a French highwayman known for his charm with the ladies, can work some magic.

If she takes, these babies will glow; and with her at a whopping 2812 grams, it should be a monster litter.

Thank you, as always, for reading.
