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.

No, don't feed it yet it hasn't shed.
The normal shedding process is for the snake to go blue, eyes blue and the body dull and off color. Then the eyes will clear and the body will look cleaner for anywhere from 1 to maybe 4 or even 5 days. Then the snake will shed.
You'll find the skin when it does and the snake will look all bright and shiney.
Once you've gone through it a couple of times you'll know the rythm.
Good luck.

Mike,
Wes answered your question, but I just wanted to add a little to it. The shedding process for snakes is a very basic knowledge in the care and handling of snakes. I would strongly recommend doing some research or reading on basic snake care and husbandry. In order for you to properly care for your hoggie, you need to have some fundamental knowledge of snakes and their care. Some of this you can pick up on as you go, but it would be a lot easier on you and your animal if you did a little research. There is at least one book out there on hognose snakes and Amazon.com has it in stock. There are several books on basic snake care and husbandry.
Good reading and good luck,
