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.

Yolandi (albino boa) mite eradication updates
I think the PAM did the trick! I picked a bunch of dead mites off her last night and while there is scale damage left over she's looking really great so I spent some time with her. She has a wonderful disposition, my corn snake is definitely a lot more feisty!

She was sold to me as Albino with no qualifiers ($180) so I assume she's probably a Kahl albino, but if anyone more knowledgeable has any thoughts please let me know.

There's no way to know which line of albino she is without breeding her. The problem is that if you guess wrong you get double-hets, which no one wants.
Just remember to keep up the mite treatment as an egg can take up to 30 days to hatch. Miss even one female and in a few weeks you have a full reinfestation to deal with.

if the line wasn't labeled assume kahl. most don't specify when it's kahl, sharp and others are also more expensive. I'm shocked you only paid 180.

actually I'd want a double het. might seem stupid but I've always wanted to see what would happen, never been able to find anything out about if it was done or not. probably wouldn't look much different but hey we can all have any interest even if it leads no where lol

I love genetics so I would be interested in that as well personally! I have no plans to breed though, breeding feeder mice and society finches is stressful enough lol

Double albinos have been produced in other species, and so far nothing really special has happened. I know it's been done with leopard geckos and gopher snakes.
