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.

feeding
I have two questions about feeding.
1.) I have a male bp that is about one year old. I don't know how much he weighs but I do know he's well over 2 ft. long. I feed him one small feeder rat a week, is this too little and should I try feeding him more? I can't go up in size because he's not big enough around to handle a medium feeder.
2.) I've been thinking of switching to frozen. Is there a place online that sells frozen food cheap that I don't have to buy tons of in each order, maybe like 10-20 at a time?
Thanks!

nowhere to buy that few frozen, smallest i have seen is 50 i believe although the bigger the feed the less in a packedge. check out http://www.bigcheeserodents.com or http://www.bigappleherp.com those seem to be most popular on here. rodent pro seems to be no good from peoples experiences.
maybe try buying a larger frozen rat and see how the snake takes that. mine is on small rats right now (40g) maybe once every 10 days or so, its been a while since hes shedding.

Feeding one appropriately sized meal a week is just fine. No need to alter that schedule.
As far as smaller quantities... you may want to try here: http://www.americanrodent.com/htm/rats.html
They do a cash minimum of $50. Which would be about 30 medium rats.

I use Big Cheese Rodents and couldn't be happier. Their feeders are clean and vacuum sealed on styrofoam trays.
They have a one package minimum order, which for small rats would be 15 for $13.50.
What is going to kill you on small quantities is shipping.
Big Cheese offers shipping via Greyhound, which I've found to be the most reasonable. I order between 100-150 feeders per order.

Rodentpro sells at shows, last time we bought from them we got a bag of frozen rat pups, a bag of 50 pinkies, and a bag of 50 mice. Cost me 75-95 dollars.. was awhile back so I dont remember exact price but between there. I just would like to say that about 20 of the adult mice were the size of hoppers, some of the mice/pinkies/rats stick together. They were 'alright' in general but just information for future use.
