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.

carpet python hatchlings
Hello! I have 8 hatchling j.j.c.p that i am having a lot of trouble getting to feed on there own. I have tried just about everything i have heard of to get them to eat (paper bag, live,pinky mice,pinky rats, cutting the nose/ brains, leaving them over night, feathers, lizard skin, live lizards ect...) any other suggestions i am getting quite worried that they wont eat and not sure what else to do. Anything would be greatly appreciated
Thank you in advance

Live hoppers, and time, my hatchies usually go 4-5 weeks after their first shed before I even try to feed them. Patience and time.
They may not look like it, but they can take a hopper mouse easy!

agree with the suggestions too, pinky anything simply doesn't move enough to get the instinct going.. little hoppers should get their attention.. if that fails, you might need to assist the first meals, sometimes just once gets the ball rolling.. but don't get worried until the 7-8th week after shed.
on the 8th week, if they still shy away and refuse to eat, I would assist them with something small that is easy to get in their mouths .. at first just hold it in pace and see if the feeding response starts, if it does, just let them do the work..
if they fight it off and try to spit it out.. use some small and smooth like a sexing probe and carefully push it in slowly.. usually when it's half way in they do the rest..
best of luck

How are things with your hatchlings going? Are they feeding any better?
