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.

"Pregnant" Boa shed?
I have purchased a redtail boa that was said to already be pregnant. She has shown all of the signs of pregnancy, but shed this morning. She is due in early March. Does anyone know what it means when a pregnant boa sheds during a pregnancy? Or does it mean that she really isn't pregnant?
Thanks.

it's not unheard of for boas to shed half way through gestation, I've had it happen before. doesn't mean anything. (I am of course assuming she actually is gravid...)

She is well past the half way mark though.. She is due this month. Is this still normal?

If she just shed, and is really gravid, I would expect babies within the week. Good luck and keep us posted!!

Here are some pictures of the boa, let me know what you think. I'm pretty sure she's gravid, she's pretty big.

Nope, sure didn't.
You can't paste the local path on your computer the same way you do a URL. But you can scroll down below your post and "manage attachments" this will allow you to nav to them on your computer, and upload them to your post as an attachment.
You can also create an album in your user control panel, upload them to the album, and paste the url to them from there.
Never experienced a gravid female shed until after parturition, but I've heard of it happening a few times.
