    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....

I was wondering if anybody had any experience with breeding a red saharan to a yellow saharan. Would you get a mix of average looking animals even if the parents were nice? Im just curious if anyone has crossed the two and what their results were. Thanks in advance.
 
I attempted this a couple years ago, but was unsuccessful (the female would never lay in the nestbox).

I was told by Doug Dix of DeerFernFarms and Lindsey Pike of Urotopia that you would get a mixture of some red and some yellow.
 
Thanks Michael, thats what I expected the outcome would be. I just wasn't sure if the mixing would make average looking babies instead of bright colored babies. It probably would depend heavily on how the parents looked.
 
That saves me some space. I didn't want to breed too many Saharans because of all the imports, but I still wanted both colors. Just pair them together!
 
Yeah, Lindsey said the key is giving them a HUGE nest box, despite their relatively small size. Something with a footprint of 18x18" approximately. I was offering them a men's shoebox tub and that was apparently too small.
