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.

Unusual injury--please help!
Today when I was cleaning tubs, I noticed tiny little blood smears in one of my 06 normal female's tub. Of course, I became very concerned--I checked every square inch of her body and couldnt find a scratch. No disturbed scales, no open wounds, nothing. I thought that maybe she bumped her nose and maybe this resulted in a scratch...nothing again. Yet, as I was inspecting her face her tongue caught my attention. I thought that I had imagined it, and I couldn't really get a good look since her tongue moved so darn quick, but there was a red spot on her ongue. Upon watching her tongue for another ten minutes, I truely believe that she somehow lacerated her tongue. I don't know what she could have done this on as there is nothing in with her except her water dish, and I feel so bad for her! Is there anything that can be done? She's 100% except for this tiny little cut. Do you think that it will heal by itself, like when we bite our tongues, or is it something that I should really watch? Thanks, and sorry for the ramblings of a worried Mom!

Ren, I don't think there is anything to worry about. Watch it to make sure it doesn't get worse, but I wouldn't be that super concerned.
But as always, if you are concerned enough, take it to a vet. You know better about the care of your animals cause you have seen it.
Good luck.

I do have a vet visit scheduled on Tuesday for other reasons...if she's worse by then, she's also coming for the trip. She seemed ok today. I really don't think that she's any worse for wear, but I'll still watch her to be safe. Thanks.

Do you feed her live mice or rats??
It could be possible that a live mouse/rat bit her tongue when she grabbed and constricted it.
