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.

Measuring Ball Pythons or other snakes
I have heard of people struggling to get accurate measurments of their snakes. So I thought I would share my "technique". I have old triangle shaped boxes from packages I received with movie posters. I took 4 total and taped 2 each end to end, then taped the 2 sets of two together side by side. I then lined the inside with plain brown cardboard to make my marks easier to see and to make it rigid. I then took a sharpie and a tape measure and laid out 2 inch increments. As you can see it makes a nice cradle for the snake. I found that taking a long piece of cardboard and laying it over the top after placing the snake inside lets them see "the path" to follow. When the snakes tail is straight and even with the end I take the cardboard off and see what my measurment is. With this setup is is very easy for 1 person. Of course with that said measuring and taking pic is a pain in the butt!! LOL!!

Thank You!! That is my female albino, she just reached 44" long and 1575 grams!! She looks longer in the pic, it took me a couple of seconds to get the camera and take pic. So her tail wasnt at the end anymore. Im not as fast as I used to be!! LOL
