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.

Hatchling Albino Retic, No tongue flicking?
I recently bought a hatchling baby albino female retic. She still had her egg tooth and umbilical cord.
She's about a foot and a half long and has a few kinks on the back 1/3 of her body, but she's not paralyzed by them.
My only concern is since I've had her she has not flicked her tongue once.
Is this because she is too young, or since she has kinks has it affected her tongue in a way?
Any help would be appreciated.

I just opened her mouth to look at her tongue and it's limp and seemed under developed, as it stuck out of her mouth sideways like a dog. As she grows will it develop proper or do I have to assist feed her all her life?

hard to tell by not seeing a pic of it, however your best bet would be to take it to a vet asap

She's being assist fed rat pinks and egg yolk. She's doing pretty good, very active and going into a second shed.

Only one of her biggest kinks has straightened out. The biggest one still hasn't show any signs of being better anytime soon. She is extremely active though. Never stops moving except when she thinks she's a GTP on the deco in her tank for a nap.

Update: Shedding again, still needs to be assist fed, but has a good appetite. No signs of being able to drink, unless she does it when I'm not watching, so she gets soaked to keep her hydrated. Still a good body weight, has even gotten bigger.

Yup! I'm very happy she's lived this long. I didn't have much hope at first but look at her now!
