d'Espresso Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 oh.... ok... Shhhhhh! let mama sleep in peace. we can wait! Link to comment
rrcg50 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 oh.... ok... Shhhhhh! let mama sleep in peace. we can wait! Today I went out to check the last hatch and most are getting the stripes or have them already. The markings are looking sweet. Its funny with these u can see the white coming in real early. The onyx that I have takes a while for it to come in. They also have a different color to them. Almost a grayish color where the white will be not an orange. Hard to explain but will try and get pics. Going to play poker tonight after work so won't really see the lil ones today. Hope momma remembers to feed them. Will have to call and remind her a few times. Link to comment
Billdemart Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I picked it up a year ago and it has sooo much information in it but the only thing it wont help you on is actually getting them to spawn. Iv had that be the biggest problem and haven't even been able to use anything in the book yet lol. So what book tells you how to set that up? Link to comment
rrcg50 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 So what book tells you how to set that up? It actually does you just have to pay close attention to it. Like I said I have read it several times and learn something new each time. Also use my and pickle threads. We have laid a lot of info out here in simple terms. I have condensed 3yrs of trial and error into these 2 threads. A lot of my failures could have been averted if I had threads like this to read. We cover everything in here from soup to nuts as the saying goes. Its not a bible but will help you learn what is needed. I don't have the answer to a magic pill but have had 4 pairs under my care spaun. Not an expert but I feel that its still an accomplishment. I have had my share of bad luck but I have also had my share of good luck. Hey wait that's another tip. Luck always helps. Link to comment

Probably won't start this up for a few years but it can't hurt to start researching now. Link to comment
