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.

Weight gaining issues
Hi
I have a columbian red tail boa that I received from a lady over a year ago. Six months after getting him he went into his winter shutdown. After coming out of his shutdown he wouldnt eat for two months. Just threw it all back up everytime. Finally got him holding down mice them moved to rats and finally small rats. For the last two months jes been eating like a horse, nonstop. He has gained a little weight but not much at all. He about five foot long and thin. What I was wondering is if there is anything I can do to help him gain more weight.hes getting one to two small rats a week. He has a clean cage perfect temps and plenty of water. Is there anything I can do to help him bulk back up our could je be sick our have a parasite?. If you guys could help mee it would be amazing thank you.

Have a fecal done at a DVM to rule out possible parasitic load
Get the animal on a steady feeding schedule of 1 med rat every 14+ days
and hold the coarse.
The idea of "needing bulked up"needs to be reassessed,
fat snakes are not healthy snakes.
Got any pics?

Ok will try that. The only reason I say bulked up is because hes so thin. He looks like he hasn't ate in months. But he has. Yah got pics I'll get better ones when I get home
