Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Advice and help would be nice
Hello to anyone out there who knows how to deal with vine snakes, or snakes like them. i purchased one, not knowing it was wildcaught. it's small, about 2 feet. I've had him for several days, and he has calmed down alot. but still he will not eat. i've tried small anoles, but he won't even attempt to eat. maybe i need smaller? maybe something different? maybe scents? if you had any ideas or suggestions. PLEASE, please let me know.
thankyou very much,
Alex

describe the setup you have him in, please. you state that you have had him "for several days...but still he will not eat" - before messing around with him, step back and leave him alone. this is a wild caught snake thrust into a new environment...give it some time to settle in, then try feeding. What they eat will depend on the size, and (to some extent) the type of vine snake. The ones I had took appropriate sized nestling rodents pretty easily, but anoles should work as well.

Thankyou. he is small, about 2 feet, asian green vine snake. he lives in a 20gal tank with soil bought from a pet store, several small limbs for climbing, many fake green twigs and leaves for hiding, and a small heat lamp, along with a heat pad to keep the humidity up.
please let me know what i'm doing wrong. constructive critisiscm welcome.
thanks

I don't know that you are doing anything wrong at this time. the important thing is to give it time to acclimate. What are your temperatures running (since you are using both a UTH and a heat light)? Humidity is important with these guys, too. make sure you mist the cage, as sometimes they are less than diligent about drinking from a bowl. as far as the size of the anoles, that is pretty hard to guess without seeing what you have...but "small" anoles should work. In the meantime, don't forget the 1/4" crickets.
