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.

I'd like to know who sold this non-feeding snake to someone with no experience, without providing any guidance whatsoever other than, braining. If braining was going to work, the breeder would have tried that already and the snake would be feeding. I want to know the name of this irresponsible seller, for future reference. Sold a non-feeding snake to a noob, isn't helping her get it started. Non-feeders should only be sold to people with the experience necessary to keep them alive. It sounds like this guy/gal went for the quick cash grab and unburdened his or her self of a problem snake on to someone s/he knew didn't have that experience.

Warning: Not here in this thread, please. If this discussion needs to bring up a name of the seller, then a new thread needs to be started in the Board of Inquiry about this issue. Such discussions about buyers and/or sellers is not welcome in the general discussion forums.

I don't know what would be best for your gray band. Too many variables concerning the environment and it's overall health for me to wager a guess for you. All I can say is that you need to be cautious and try not to trigger a regurge. And you do not want it to starve to death. Somewhere between the two limits will be where you need to be, but unfortunately I can't tell you where that is. So go slow, wait for a defecation of the last meal to make sure the last offering was digested, and then try another small meal. Pick up the pace if it feels warranted. I would decrease the number of days between meals over increasing the size of each meal, as that would likely be less stressful on the animal. With any luck, you will notice the animal looking around for another after taking a mouse tail, and that could mean you are out of the woods and have an animal with a developing feed response.
Just don't push things or rush the process. I don't know how many baby corns I lost over the years just from a single regurge that pushed them over the edge and they spiraled down hill very quickly.

Alright. Thanks guys. I'll wait for the tail to pass before I give her another. As for the guy who sold her to me, private message me and I'll give you his info.

Good news everybody!
Foxtrot has grown and shed her skin. She still needs to be teased into eating, but the tails are definitely making her grow. She's super active and is relaxing about being held.
Thanks so much guys!

RE: anole scent
Didn't work for my gray banded non eater. Boiled pinks in a cup did and Reptilinks WAY overcharges for scent because of shipping.
