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 have an Emerald Tree Boa that I got about 5 weeks ago- it's humidity and temperatures all seem to be good- but I haven't been able to get it to eat and it has a white-caulus like circle on its side.
I've turned all the lights off and dangled a live pinky near its mouth and its squeeked and moved- and the snake won't do a thing.
I'm really concerned about the spot as well- please let me know what to do about it. Thank you.
Hi Mitchel. It is very hard to diagnose anything over the internet and I agree that a vet visit should be your best bet. From the pic you sent it seems that the area could be even a burn, so you might want to check if the snake can get close enough to the heat source to cause that. Otherwise, it can be something more serious. I have never owned an Emerald Tree Boa so not sure how exactly they should look overall but from your pic the snake appears dehydrated as the lower part of the body looks very wrikled up. You might want to make sure you are providing enough water and proper humidity despite what you think is adequate. Do you have a humidity gauge in the cage to see the exact humidty? Do you also have a thermometer to check the temp in the cage? Cool temps, low humidity and poor ventilation can all cause issues on your snake and would need to be corrected ASAP.
Hopefully all will be ok with the ETB and maybe by now you already wen to a local Vet that could help you.
