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.

Having trouble with snakes
Here's the deal. My mom got me a female rat snake as a birthday present, and she escaped from a zipper snake carrier when I was gonna take her to the doctor. I then bought another one, and my housemate accused me of something I didn't do and turned it loose and wrecked the cage so he has to pay for everything. The one I got as a replacement got caught under the background thing in the cage and was badly mangled and passed away before I got him to the doctor so I ordered another one from the pet store, and it looks like this one might be in bad health because I can't hardly get it to move. They did say they'd replace any pets that were sold within seven days if there's a legitimate problem. Of course they're not gonna consider it a legitimate problem if I buy a mouse and it dies because I feed it to the snake. I'd show a picture of the snake, but I don't know how.

I would suggest bringing the snake back to where you got it, ASAP.

I called, and they said it would have to pass away within seven days and that they don't have anymore rat snakes, and I couldn't expect them to give me one of their corn snakes which are $30 more. I told them they could order another rat snake for me from a breeder.

Pet Supermarket is the store that sold me the snake. They say always get captive bred snakes instead of wild caught ones because wild caught snakes aren't as healthy, but I've had wild caught ones that were in better health than this one.

Well personally, if someone sold me a sick animal, I wouldn't take no for an answer. If nothing else, I'd do a chargeback on my credit card, and shop elsewhere. There are oodles of breeders who sell healthy rat snakes.
You might also consider posting your experience on the BOI, as a warning to others.
