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.

First Time BP owner......
hi guys, just a quick question. ive noticed that my bp seems kind of thin compared to pics of other pythons 3 months old or so. when he bends his body, his skin folds are prominent and he doesnt have that much of a plump shape. i did notice that i have not once seen him soak in his dish though he does drink out of it daily. i do mist his cage atleast twice a day, though i do not mist him directly but above the screen (into the air). he has been eating on schedule though he regurgitated his mouse about 4 days after eating it. a day later, he did the biggest poop ive ever seen him do. if any of you have had an experience like this, i would appreciate some info. sorry i do not have pics. thanx in advance.

What is the frequency of his feeding schedule? Has a fecal analysis been done to rule out internal parasites?
You mentioned you are feeding mice? Weaner rats or rat pups offer better nutrition so getting him on those sooner rather than later would be a plus. However, give him a break after a regurge & wait a week before offering food of any kind.

he its every friday. only time i had a problem feeding him was a when i was given a "hopper" for him to eat for first time. i was scared that he would could be hurt so i gently "wacked" the mouse while in its bag, but i accidentally killed it. when i put my bp in the bag, he didnt touch it. i figure that he prolly likes his food live so i went back, bought another one and he ate it instantly. i have not taken him to a vet though so i guess that should be the next step. thank you for your input.

regurge
i give mine 2 weeks if they regurge then feed them something a little smaller. I had a little boa regurge, fed him the same size item the next week, he didnt digest it good and wasnt able to poop it out, it backed him up and he died
