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.

drinking/eating/lost water-help
ok- we got a little bity retic in a week ago. When we brought her in- she went straight in the hide and HID!! I haven't seen her again until tonight.
She's in decent health- she's dehydrated and a bit skinny and has a lot of shed left on her but is gentle.
I saw her out moving around so I grabbed a fuzzy out of the freezer- thawed it and offered it- she grabbed it and ate it up! I came back a bit later and she had found the water dish and was drinking- when i stopped to look at her- she popped up and wanted more- so I got another fuzzy and brought it to her- she grabbed it and when she curled around it- water went everywhere- I thought it was in the mouse fur but its slimy and way too much.
I certainly didn't want to take the 2nd fuzzy from her so i let her be.
This has been 15-20 minutes ago and she hasn't lost any fuzzies.
Should I be worried about the water re-gurge?
Thanks

No - it isn't all that uncommon, actually. I have had snakes do the same thing after being soaked...I lift them out of the container, and water just starts pouring out of them. It doesn't even seem to be a regurg, in the strictest sense...almost seems like venting the overflow. In the future, just allow more time between drinking (or soaking) and feeding/handling

lol- a super soaker- sounds about right.
thanks- I had NO idea she had drank that much- shes curled up in the bowl this morning- looks thousand times better- that shed has come off and shes got a big plump section- looks good.
I was really freaking out- i'd had the bigger girls loose water after the bathtub but this was close to 1/8 of a cup probably
she seems fine this morning- thanks for the reply- i love this site- so much better than kingsnake-
