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.

Question about Rosy burrowing?
I just got my first rosy boa yesterday, and initially he seemed to like his tank a lot, exploring and using his hide for most of the day. However, in the evening, he burrowed away in the aspen bedding and hasn't come out since, aside from popping his nose out once in a while. It's been almost 24 hours and i'm a bit concerned. Is this normal? The hot side is at 88 degrees and the cool side is around 81. Is this a sign that he is too hot/cold?

I don't have any experience with rosy boas, but if they are anything like Kenyans, they hide under their substrate during the day and only come out at night. Which is normal.

It's quite common...especially with young rosies. They seem to use that position to ambush their prey.

Agreed this is common for rosys... at least mine. I have a mexican rosy that spends a good deal of time in the aspen substrate. I've noticed she stays there totally underneath for at least a day after a satisfying feed. Then as she starts to get hungry she will either start to poke her head out and watch, or if she gets really hungry she will come all the way out and start exploring the viv in full view. From what I've read about rosys they have good appetites compare to some other snake breeds, and when young are best fed every 3-4 days a rodent big enough to fill them but not so big you can noticeably see a bulge after swallowing.
