    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....

Way too cool.

Well, Rayna, as of this morning, nothing yet. I've been resisting the urge to open that incubator all morning...

I know, Bree. Tell them to just come out and this would all be soooo much easier!!!!

Kelly, I totally see what you mean...and you're probably right. This is what I thought I was seeing (this is their daddy), but after looking again, and again, and again...I've changed my mind...again. LOL!

K...so my official guesses in writing so I can't change my mind again.

Eggs #2 and 5...and the boob, all normals. I just saw the head on #5, and Kelly, you are a WINNER!!! Now let's hope it's a girl!

And yes, this is specifically for my sweet darling hubby, who saw an extra ghost, too. :D
 
I see what you mean as well Tere! I hope it is a spider for you. But fairly sure its a really nice normal. We will just have to wait and see!!
 
You know what? I don't care either way, as long as they come out healthy...and with #5 being female! They're all just so darn cute and this waiting is NOT a good thing!

Someone please remind me again why we cut them, so we can keep on guessing and spazzing out over waiting? :rofl:
 
I wanna see the spider in the bottom left corner of the group pic!! That one is gonna be amazing, I think!

I've been asking myself this same question!! Hopefully I'll know what I cut by tomorrow, but with my luck it may be next week!!

And I would have to agree. There's something up with that one. It just looks so weird...and I think I saw something extra in there this morning. That one just needs to come out NOW! That one has been causing me to lose sleep. That's the one that I mentioned earlier that there's just too much snake in that egg.

Are they out yet? Let me go check... :eek:

You, kind sir, are NOT making this any easier!!!! :D

I personally think they enjoy making us wait. Okay. Well, at least mine do.
 
Thanks, Sam!

Hey, everyone...looks who's out to say hi! That is one heck of a mustache!

Hey Tere, when was this clutch laid? I had clutches laid on May 28th and 31st. Trying to figure out how close ours are in their timelines.

There's gotta be more than one snake in that egg...it's enormous compared to the others!
 
And that's kinda what I was thinking. That egg, if I remember correctly, was like 115 grams when laid. And the body parts are just not quite lined up right. While I was having a little issue over here (one baby seems to have gotten a bit tangled and has since been untangled), I did see that one head is sticking up from the middle of that egg and am fixing to go investigate.

This clutch is going to make me crazier. I just know it.
 
Well, now I have something else to do besides watch my eggs. I can watch this thread! LOL! :p

I'm excited for you.
 
Thank you, Maia!

All right, folks...this is where it gets interesting. So, as I was taking the picture of the one poking its nose out, I noticed the one next to it just didn't look right. I had noticed this morning that same one had gone very pale and wasn't responding to having its egg "tickled".

This afternoon, when I took the picture of the one poking its nose out, the picture below is what I saw (sort of graphic), egg on the bottom, far right. I have since removed the baby from its egg and pulled its head out from inside the little sack thing, and it has taken a few breaths and moved its little melon a bit from where I had placed it (hoping that's a good sign). Its color almost immediately returned, but its limp as a dishrag. It's back on a wet paper towel in a tub in the incubator. I don't know if it's going to make it or not. :bawling:

Does anyone have any input on anything else I can do to help this little one along? I hope I didn't just...well, you know.
