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.

Orgy alert! Candoia (Fiji Boa) ovulation and mating
Posted this and now am sure it was ovulation - mating photos in second post.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I'm a newbie at breeding - the last mating I saw there was no visible ovulation at all. However I now have a snake who is swelling up like a (rather alarming) balloon.
She was wild caught and it is just possible that she was gravid when caught, I'm only noticing it now, and she is about to give birth. On the other hand, this has come up very suddenly (noticed 2 weeks ago that she was looking a bit "thick", and now she's positively bloated). This is a species that is pregnant for about 9 months, so nothing usually happens this fast.
She has been housed with males for a while, and it has just dropped to winter temps here which is normally breeding season, but I have not seen any copulations, or attempts at same.
So here are some pics of my swollen Fiji Boa - do you think this is ovulation, pregnancy, or do I have some other problem?
(PS - She hasn't eaten for 5 weeks, so it ain't food...)

Ha Ha! Question answered!
Well, this morning the snakes themselves answered my question - 4 males and Lilith in one huge writhing lump, having a ball (Candoia seem to favour multiple males to get everything started) ..... so I guess it was a 3 week ovulation swell.
Grendal seems to have won the race for now, but as he has a short damaged tail I'm not certain he'll get the job done. The spurs are out and the movements are right, but the poor dear just can't do the tail twine thing.... 
We shall see!

Thanks Utta, I think he went and shined himself up before coming out courting.
He's not getting it all his own way though - there is NO PRIVACY in the world of Fiji Boa Porn...... Threesomes, Foursomes, it's all happening!

No, they seem to just shove a bit; it seems first come ( ) first served. All very civilised.

Hard to keep your mind out of the gutter when there's a perpetual orgy going on in the house! 
This morning, the tank looked quite serene, with a couple of heads poking coyly out of the log hide. However, when I picked the hide up, look at the degenerates I found underneath! 
(please excuse messy newspaper - I wasn't about to disturb this lot just to give them a clean sheet right now - am waiting until they take a rest break...... )
In all the tangle I can't even be sure who is loving her now, so I tried "Snake twister" to try and track everyone. She's traced in pink, the other 4 are the males currently courting, in what is apparently the standard Candoia "Multiple male" scenario. Notice the blushing bride is hiding her head under a log.....

(My bet is still on Grendal - in blue. The others mostly seem to be coiling up around themselves....)
