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.

snake identification
I bought this snake for $400 I was told it was a super dwarf platinum graniteback. He said she was bred last year but I don't think so cuz she's only 4' long. Help me out I'm new to the hobby.

If you told me the animal in the top picture was dead, I would wholeheartedly believe you. I can't help you much other than to say the retic part at least is correct. Good luck with this animal.

Do some research on humidity requirements.
Hey Jhiner - my comment came across as rude which was not my intentions.
Hope this thread answered your questions.

I know about humidity I bought her this morning and she was like that. I just need to know if she looks like the platinum graniteback he advertised and also if a superdwarf will breed at 4' long. He said she was 3 and has already laid a clutch but I'm not so sure now.

Where to start, oh were to start.
1st. a super dwarf platinum het anthrax(aka graniteback) would run, oh about $5000. A het anthrax platinum is going to run you about $850-1250 You add super dwarf in there, (industry standard is 50% to market it as dwarf/superdwarf) you double/triple the price.
2nd. while there is platinum anthrax's around, they're a $15,000 snake (at prehistoric pets). Breeding one to a female superdwarf would result in a marketable superdwarf platinum het anthrax, however it wouldn't be anywhere near a price range of $300 for a baby.
3rd. platinum anthrax's are a new morph. only made (at least announced to the public) in the last 2 years or so. There just isn't a way possible that a female superdwarf het anthrax could be 4 years old, have bred, and then sold for such an astonishing price.
4th. and most importantly, there is no way that retic, if ACTUALLY female, is 4 years old, and has bred.
It seems like you got a normal superdwarf with a serious shed issue.

I thank all of you for your input. I learned a very valuable lesson and and going to do research about this whole pricing and genetics thing. The snake breeding seems fun and I want to be apart of it. I have alot to learn and won't make this mistake again. The guy said he was going to give my money back. And just for the record I put her in my enclosure at 90* and 70 humidity and her shed is gone! So silver lining!
