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.

Allergic to Burmese Python Saliva?
Hey guys!
I've been owning snakes of many species for about 10 years and therefore have also been bitten by quite a few as well. I've recently been bitten by a juvenile Burmese Python about a week ago and the site is still raised and has been itching as well. Can there be an allergy to Burmese Python saliva? (I've been bitten by balls, retics, white lipped pythons, but no reaction like this.)
TIA

I am unaware of allergies to snake saliva, particularly species specific. It seems unlikely to me, but who knows. More likely is that there is bacteria from the snakes mouth causing the reaction. Many snakes have anticoagulants in their saliva which might cause a reaction. It could also be that there are teeth which broke off in your skin, causing a reaction.

I had a friend bitten by a burm in the early 70's and he also appeared to have an allergic reaction and was hospitalized for it.
