    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....

Yay! My First Hatchlings!

My first fertile clutch of eggs just hatched yesterday and I couldn't be more excited. These lil' cuties are 100% Bell Albino and I adore them! Their mom is my oldest gecko,, she is a normal/high yellow and their dad is a Tangerine Bell Albino from Kelli. The first baby that hatched out is perfectly normal and healthy. The second one seems a bit stunted, as she hatched out of an egg that looked and felt like a water balloon, and her tail is kinked at the end.
I plan on keeping both of them and moving them into the display tank with their mom when they are old enough. Coming from my first leo, they have a lot of sentimental value. Sorry about the lousy pics, they are hard to photograph!

Here is a pic of the first hatchling:

And here is a pic of the "runt":

In this pic, you can see the size difference and the stubby lil' tail on my runt. I just love them both to death :) :

Hope you guys enjoy the pics!
 
Congrats on your first babies! I love that pic of Mom and Dad is gorgeous!
 
Thanks guys! It is such a great feeling seeing your first baby in the incubator. I thought I was going to die of joy when I looked and saw the first one just chillin' in the tupperware without a care in the world. I adore these lil' charmers and I am so happy to have something to remember Spikey with after she is gone (which hopefully won't be for a while yet!). :)
 
Nicole, congrats on your first hatchling. May you be lucky enough to hatch out many more.....

Congrats again!

They look great Nicole! I didn’t realize from the other pics that the dad was that beautiful. He’s one nice looking bell that’s for sure…
 
Thanks again everyone! Although they are only a few days old now, they are just so inquisitive and full of personality. When I put my hand in their cage, they walk right up to it to investigate. They are very brave lil' girls!

Thank you Cody,,, you should see him in person, he is awesome! And he is such a sweetheart. My other female, Spooky, has also laid eggs from him, but only one has made it (mainly because she would lay them in the water dish or above the heat pad while I was at work). That one is due any time now, and the baby will be a Bell/Patternless het. Nancy has dibs on that one though, which is ok because I just can't keep them all. :bawling:
