    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....

You get a little excited . . .

. . . when they come off the FED EX truck looking like this.

This is the orange female I picked up from Kevin at Dragon's Den today. I bought it months ago - but the weather just became decent enough to ship.

These pictures are RIGHT off the truck - right out of the box. She's a big girl, that's for sure.

You read my mind, Robin. It's hard to find really, really nice yellows, though. Most of them look too buckskin"ish" for my tastes. Nothing wrong with a nice buckskin - but I'm looking for a yellow.

I have SO many ways I can go with breeding this female - I'm glad I have a few months to make that decision. Do I go solid tiger orange - or harley/pin - patternless Red - brown partial pin . . . what to do, what to do?

This is the fun part, eh?
 
Very nice find. Here is a female that I bought from someone that said that they got it from Dragon's Den. Luckly she is a very good breeder. But Dragon's Den has got some sweet oranges and yellows!! Thanks Erik

Good job, Monte! She is gorgeous! Like Cody said, I love that rust look. She makes me think of autumn leaves.
 
Thats a great looking girl Monte. She has a nice wide head and good size. Kevin definately has some nice animals.

Thanks everybody - and Jessica, just be patient, you'll get there. I'm an old man - and used some Christmas money from my bosses to get this one. Save up for a baby - that's the best way to get them, they are much more inexpensive. The only reason this one is so huge is that I bought it - and Kevin held it for me for over 3 months because of the weather. He called me up and said "She's so big, she could be gravid." LOL
 
Good score Monte, she is gorgeous! I wouldn't mind getting one like her to pair up with my Red Male
