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.

Help!! Question about pregnancy & snakes.
I just found out today that I am pregnant. Does anyone know if handling my BPs will have any affect on the baby? I have over 25 snakes and breed ASF rats and mice feeders. I am wondering if I will need to find homes for my babies. I will ask my doctor but I can't get in to see him until next week and feeding/ cleaning day is Sat. I would really appreciate any advice anyone can offer.

From what I understand it, as long as you don't lick your snakes or things like that, you should be fine.
There is nothing like the litter box problem with cats in reptiles, so you should just be worried about Salmonella.
Congratulations!

Um... Don't you mean gravid? Lol. Congratulations on your coming addition! As far as the snakes and rats are concerned, you're safe. Just continue to use salmonella precautions and be sure you're washing with antibacterial soap. Ivory aint gonna do it.
Heather, please stop licking your snakes. Just cause they stick their tongue out and "lick" you, doesn't mean you get to do it back.

Congrats, Tanya!
I agree with the others, there should be nothing to worry about as long as you practice normal safe handling techniques.
Chris, Heather....you guys are too funny. I never pictured Heather as the snake-licker type, but I guess one never knows, lol.

Thanks for the responses. I do wash my hands several times during and again after feeding and cleanings but I wanted to be sure. My hubby has already banned me from purchasing any more snakes for now  .
I wanted my snakes to become gravid not me. Hopefully this one will be a girl though since we already have three boys.

The rodents are a potential issue long before the snakes... but if it's a long term established and closed colony- nothing should be a problem there either.
