    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....

Sorry to hear that, Jon.

I am waiting on my TSE "het" girl to lay....she's laying belly up looking mierable at this point. I bred her to a KNOWN 100% het however, so at least I'll have some 50% hets to sell out of her. I'm still going to breed her to my visual albino male next year, simply to alleviate any doubts that she is anything but a normal.
 
I am going to try this pair again next year but I am sure they are just normals. I had kept my hopes up but after seeing the last egg pip, I knew it was not going to be a good day.

This is the second "scam" I have had the pleasure of being a part of. The other one I am sure some people remember. I posted on the BOI about a little spider I bought that died that a vet said could have had IBD. The rest of the collection is doing great though. I hope I have that all solved as well.

I did have my pastel clutch hatch so far and I have some 50% het ghosts due to hatch in a couple of weeks. Hopefully my VPI Axanthic female will drop her clutch in the next week as well so maybe this year wont turn out too bad.

My last egg just hatched from a pair of "100% Het High Contrast Albinos" I got from TSE this morning. There were 6 eggs and I was holding out for the possiblity that I got an albino in that last one but no luck. This was my first year breeding this pair and I must say, it looks like I was struck by the normal for het trick as well. I am going to try them again next year but I don't have my hopes up. I am sure they are both just normal animals that I paid way too much for.

Jon sorry to read this.Its sad that these things happen :angry: .
 
Well, my TSE "het" albino girl has started laying this morning.....just one egg so far.

Countdown begins for me.........

50% het albino babies, anyone?
 
Well, she's done laying......6 perfect eggs. Het or not, she's a darn good mama. She has NO intention of letting me take these eggs..... :ack2:

It just blows me away that BP's can carry that many eggs of that size, and then push them all out. I mean, they look as big around as her! LOL

Good luck on a healthy litter. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the het part, but I ain't gonna hold my breath at all.

Sorry for the :>off_to<: post, but the winner is really the Kiwi bird for egg size relative to body size, even if it is only one egg.

Are you sure that aint just some old gal from Texas?
 
I should have eggs from a "hetpied" female from TSE bred with my piebald in about 3 weeks.
Last year she was bred with a "hetpied" male from TSE and gave me 4 eggs and no pieds.
Odds should be better this year but no matter what i will get some nice hetpieds.
Chris are u still alive ?
Havent someone located your puny white ass and wooped u a bit ?
 
Well, my TSE "het albino" girl's clutch is hatching today. Bred to a known 100% het male....No surprise, all appear to be normals.

At least I have a nice, healthy looking clutch of 50% hets....next year, I will still be breeding her to my visual albino male, and I imagine that should produce some beautiful 100% hets.

HI Cat-
Congrats on the beautiful babies-I'm sorry that they did not turn out to be what they should have been but they are beautiful babies

Thanks for sharing the pics of momma and the eggs
I am not a snake keeper but I do appreciate their beauty

Sandy
 
Thank you, John and Sandy. :)

Seeing those little noses poking out of the eggs softens the blow of the money Chris Johnson stole from me a little bit, even though they are nothing but normals, they are cute little buggers. All babies are wonderful.

Don't get me wrong however, given the chance, I'd still be glad to take the money he owes me out of his hide....... :dgrin:
 
Forgive me for saying this but I just want to wring Chris Johnson's neck. Actually if I said what I really would like to do to him I would probably be banned, at the very least receive some serious warning points as it is graphic and quite violent.

Are you reading this Chris? Do you have any remorse for all the pain you have caused the people that trusted you? Probably not. I've "known" a lot of scummy people in my time in the reptile business but you are the numero uno piece of poo on my list, and my list isn't short. You might be thinking you have gotten away with this but trust me, it's gonna come back to haunt you someday in a big way, Loser.

We want pics! Unfortunately after seeing that priceless driver's license pic and his Pillsbury ads, I still couldn't see a neck.
 
Does anyone have any idea of Chris's current location? What he is doing for a living? The current status of any investigation?

It is beginning to look like this carbuncle got away with this more or less
