    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....

What was this years gem for you?

I saw the thread about best potential offspring for next years hatch and wanted to know what everyone was most proud of this season. My goal snake to produce this year was a killerbee. Here's the loan killer I produced. I was hoping it was a boy, but with my small collection I'm glad now it was a girl. To me she's the perfect killer. Good blushing, pattern, and a small ringer too! I'm very proud to call her mine! Chris

beautiful snake. As for us, we produced a male and a female desert firefly, one is in my avatar. We were hoping for one since they had not been produced yet. We bred our male desert to a female firefly and got the two desert fireflies, a desert fire, a firefly, and a NORMAL!!!!! This year cool stuff but no firsts.

Seeing as how my favorite BP is a super cinny, I was fortunate enough to hit on one this year. The real surprise and what I consider my most exciting hatchling is when I bred 2 cinnies together (half siblings) and produced a hypo cinnamon. No one knew their father was a het. So I feel I got pretty lucky breeding two poss hets together.

My gem from the 2011 season was a pretty Paradox Caramel boy. I love him to pieces.

Here he is the day he hatched...

Here is a more recent picture of the Hypo Cinny that Mark posted earlier in the thread, with her Cinny dad who unexpectively proved to be het Hypo. Both snakes have moved from his collection to mine and I couldn't be happier with them (Thanks again Mark!!!)

beautiful snakes Greg. I have a bee female that is so incredable looking but retarded as the day is long. I want to breed her to my fire dinker.....just afraid I will get a clutch of window lickers!

love that hypo cinnamon
 
I didn't produce anything TOO amazing this year, but I was extremely happy with this female super mojo 100% het ghost. And this ghost was the nicest of the ones I produced this season...but was a male. :( lol

All gorgeous snakes, the killerbee is amazing and the hypo cinny is stunning as well. The super mojave 100% het ghost is very exciting as well!
