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.

atrox driving me nuts!
And I am sure they're not happy either. They are not "mine" although they are here and under my care and responsibility. I do water them and feed them. I am not a venomous keeper and I am at my wits end.
I know that they vibrations on the floor upset them. I have 3 dogs, and an older home so every little pitter patter sets the snakes rattling. I have tried moving them to other rooms, but still rattling.
I can only imagine the stress these snakes are going through. And I can't stand their noise either!
Is there a trick to setting up the cage to recieve minimal vibrations? I have a bunch of hides in there, and three sides of the cage is covered, and the back is against the wall, and that cut down visual. But I don't think it's good to have them living where they're always upset, and rattling.

Atrox question
Atrox tend to be a bit high-strung compared to their eastern counter parts. They pick-up vibration, movement and heat. Therefore, it would be difficult to provide an environment where they would not be stressed. especially wild caught's. Let me know if we can help..

I knew someone who rescued an atrox from someones yard and took it home...it was rattling even when no one was in the room! After an hour or two of CONSTANT rattling he couldn't take it anymore and brought it to the rescue I volunteer at.
I don't really agree with releasing crotalids more than a very short distance from where they were found. On all species that have been studied, release more than a kilometer or so from where then animal was found resulted in very high mortality rates. That really has nothing to do with this thread, but I just thought I'd mention it.
