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.

Candoia baby Fiji Boas first shed pics
The baby Fiji boas are now three months old and going into shed like crazy! Here are pics of one of the orange ones - these are just glowing golden when they shed out.
This one was the runt - 7gms in last photos now a strapping 12 gms and gorging on gecko tails (held in chopsticks) once a week. 
This post: pre-shed feeding pics, next post - what a difference a day makes!

Corrigan
and her name is Corrigan: "Little Queen"
"Corrigan, according to the folklore of Brittany is a female færy. She is said to have been one of the ancient druidesses, and therefore malicious towards Christian priests. Corrigan is fond of pretty human children, and is usually blamed for all changeling substitutions."

Awesome pics. She looks amazing. Just curious, where are you getting the gecko tails from?

We have house geckos all over the place, so we literally pick them off the walls!  (I'm in a tropical environment)
Problem is finding ones small enough for these babies, as they really need hatchlings. I have friends with properties out in wooded areas where they get very large house geckos (and even larger forest geckos), so they catch them for me, we kill and freeze them, then break off the tails for the babies and feed the bodies to the adults - waste not want not!
We even have a small cottage industry going - I pay kids from local villages 50c per gecko if they bring them in alive....

This might be stupid question, but don't the adults get big enough to eat mice? Or are they just too hard to wean off of gecko?

I'm sure they'd eat mice in time - the adults have taken a mouse and also a rat with great enthusiasm. I don't feed them those because I'm not in a place where reliable and clean food animals are available (Fiji!). The ones I've used were obtained by friend's cats and dogs! 
Thanks for nice comments everyone, I'm loving raising these - so far 6 out of the 13 have found new (adoring!) families, 2 are awaiting pick up, and one has made a (successful) jail break and is roaming free....
