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.

Problem with my King digesting
I bought my king about two months ago and I fed him two pinkies that day.
He digested those and deficated normal, but since then when I feed him and he deficates the whole pinkie in 2-3 days without digesting it. But a couple days after I find the pinkie there is fecal in his cage. He has proper lighting and heat. can someone help me with this?

It's unlikely that he's passing the pinkie whole, it just can't go all the way through the digestive tract like that.
I'd say he's regurgitating it.
Give him a week to 10 days with no food, then offer the smallest pinky you can. Make sure the heat is adequate and leave him alone until he defecates. Wait four or five days and offer another real small pink.
Once the regurgitating has stopped you can gradually go back to normal feeding.
Repeated regurgitation is a dangerous situation that can lead to death if not corrected. Just use patience and small meals to get him back to a normal routine and give him time to rest his system between meals.

Just a couple of questions.
What is the correct heat for your king and how have you determined what it is in the tank with the snake?
Is the entire cage heated or is there a warm end and a cool end?
What kind of king is it and do you know if it's captive born or wild caught?
What are you using to heat the cage?
This information will help.
thanks,
Wes Pollock
