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.

genetic testing??
Just a quick question, I know that some place (UC Davis for example) cam do genetic testing on horses to what genetic markers they marker for color and a couple of hereditary disorders. Can they do this in snakes?
Just idle curiosity.

It is feasible, but I honestly doubt there are many people if any that do that.
Snakes and reptiles are not as highly valued in society as horses, so the research has not been done (to my knowledge).

This topic was discussed more in-depth on another thread not too long ago.....while the thought has come up, I don't believe anyone is actively doing such. If I can find the thread, I'll give you a link.

Thanks for the replies, and that other thread is great too, thanks cat!! Srill processing alot of information. For me it would be more about knowing exactly what I am working with than trust in dealers.
just as an example, say the dealer/breeder knows that the snake is 100% het albino, but through testing it is discovered that the snake is also het for pied or something. Then I know what I am working with, does that makre any sense?

Heidi,
I agree, but most breeders wouldn't lie to you about that...
I know I wouldn't! (But there are people out there..... )
But you also need to keep in mind the extreme cost for that to be tested as well. Is it worth $5000 (figuratively) to find out if your het albino is really a het for albino plus something else?
Just a thought
