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.

I am glad they are issuing a refund, or at least claiming to be. But they still shipped in this manner which could of gotten you into trouble and endangered the animal. I am still pretty certain it is a birth defect (kink). If you would like I can check it out for you in person rather then just looking at the picture you text me.
Drop shipping, sending them in humanely so they can charge a $19 shipping fee to sucker people in, sending more then this one animal with defects, shipping illegally in unmarked packaging (which effects all of us in the industry), not ever asking you about the poor animal just blatant disregard like my bad. etc. Reptile City is definitely on my bad guy list.

She seems to be able to move without any problem whatsoever. The one part where her spine is bent in makes her slithering slightly off, but she doesnt indicate that it's bothering her. But there are definitely signs of stress, her breathing is heavy and she constantly is in a defensive position 'S' with her head and going after my fingers and even the glass in her tank once I put her away. I left her alone so that she can get accomadated in her tank, but also have been trying to hold her so that she gets used to my scent and doesn't feel as threatened. Also, I am not going to return her because I don't want them to dispose of her because she is obviously not resellable, but they did say they would return my money.

Is a serious case? What do you mean by that?

He means that is one of the most severe cases of that type of kink he has seen. Same here, I've seen a lot of BP kinks, but that one tips the extreme scale.
I'm sorry, but that poor little BP would probably be better off if she was humanely euthanized.
I would get a vet's opinion about the quality of life. It seems like she could be in extreme pain.

I hatched a lesser that was kinked like that last year even worse than that. I have the pics on my phone, I'll have to convert them when I get home and post them up or I can email them to someone and they can convert them and put them up.

He lived I gave him to a friend of mine and he still has him today. He worked with him and his spine popped back into place and he is doing well. I honestly didn't believe him when he said his spine straightened out until he sent me a pic. He never seemed like he was in pain though.
