    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....

Surprise!!

The first clutch of bull eggs (snow x albino) finally started to pip today.
Sorry about the first pic, it was indoors without flash...the rest were outdoors

So, this started as a clutch of 13 eggs. I knew I lost one after a temperature spike. Two others were dead in their eggs. 10 hatched, with 5 albinos and 5 snows. (my assumption is that the genetics wizard caused the death of the last two babies because they were snows, and would have ruined the 1/1 ratio predicted by the Punnett square.) 8 of the 10 seem to very calm so far, with two of the albinos being little spitfires...hissing and striking like baby bulls should. (Those two were like that as soon as they were out of the egg - you can see the one at the far left of the top group shot, lol)

ahhhh, the many faces of temptation :rofl:
 
Just a quick update on the little guys - its been 6 days since they started pipping, 4 since they have all been fully out of their eggs. Most of them are opaque and, just for giggles, I put f/t fuzzies in with them while I was getting ready for work. 20 minutes later, 5 of them had eaten. I love bullsnakes :thumbsup:

*the final tally was 7 feeders out of 10...4 albinos, 3 snows
