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.

Congrats! More pictures are of course required.
Your mission is to pick out a nice female, get her feeding, and bring her to the Gopher Tortoise Survey on Sept 16

Congratulations!
Looks like a keeper. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to part with, after such a long and painful birthing process. I bet you feel hes part of the family at this point. I hope the rest go soon. Great snake.

Thanks all! And thanks to our creator! The forces which flow through us, and bind us have delivered into my care 7 new beautiful, mostly black, and purple blue, baby indigos. this year with incubation temps maintained at 2 degrees lower than last year, I got about another week out of the incubation period. And of the eggs which survived full term, the babies look much fatter, and more developed than last year. They seem much calmer, and less spooky than last year. Very mellow. They also seem to have soaked up more yolk than last years batch.
We started with 12 eggs like last year. Right away, it was apparent that 2 were infertile. A little more than midway through the incubation period, 2 more collapsed and shriveled up. Then at the end of pipping, I opened the last egg, which was slightly collapsed underneath. It looked fully developed, but it was dead, and the egg yolk was half dried, and congealed. Next time, I will try to suspend the eggs over water with no substrate, and lower temps another degree or two. Although mold was present on the unicolor eggs, I saw none on these. No clue why. If anyone would like to study this last dead in egg baby, I would be happy to send it. Perhaps some young veteranary student, or researcher would like to take on the task of determining cause of death.
If you want to see these kids, I'll be at one or two of the St. Louis Shows this year. Thanks for all of your support! Thanks for keeping this forum alive! See you at the shows,...I will also have my artwork for sale. So please come and keep me from being a "starving artist".
