Eggs hatching and new Last Word article

Two clutches hatched last week, the jungle carpets and a ball python spider clutch.
Most of the jungle carpet clutch was infertile. An unproven male was the father, so it may have been due to it being his first season. Four hatchlings were produced.

The spider clutch had somewhat poor odds. Two spiders hatched and five normal siblings. Both spiders are males.

I have posted a new article in the Last Word section about the “wobble head” condition of spider balls and my opinions on the topic. You can read it here http://www.arbreptiles.com/lastword/spider_wobble.shtml

Picture problems on the site

Today I discovered that there are some problems with some of the photos on the site. In particular quite a few of the pics on the Alligator Adventure page are damaged.
This occurred during the move to the new server. Apparently due to the large volume of data that was being transferred some of the larger picture files became corrupted. The result is some have odd colors in them, are blocky looking, or are just cut off at the bottom.
That was a few months ago now, but there’s just so many pictures and stuff on the site I haven’t loaded them all myself.

I will be uploading the Alligator Adventure pics again today, and making sure they are all there. However, if anyone should come across a photograph anywhere on the site that is damaged or otherwise doesn’t appear to display properly, I’d appreciate it if you’d let me know so I can fix it.
