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.

new rosy boa owner ... question
I just bought my Rosy Boa today. It is a desert rosy boa.
My question is regarding her tail. At the very very tip of her tail, it is dry and hard. It almost looks ... dried out ?? Other than this, she is healthy. She moves around, doesn't seem to mind to be handled and has become used to her tank quickly.
Any ideas as to what may be wrong with her tail ? Someone told me it could be stress that caused it ... I have no clue.
Any help would be appreciated.

Two possibilities come to mind.
The first is that it is normal tail shape. Rosies do have a hardened tip to thier tails on occasion, especially the larger ones. It is a normal thing.
The second is that the tip of the tail has not shed off properly and it is now mis-shapen.
Could you post a pic of it? That would be really helpful.

I can't help with the picture question but don't worry too much about the tail. It is a natural feature for them to have a blunt tail and that may be all that it is.
Do you have a digital camera?
