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.

Yes they do lay eggs, however the eggs are different that what most people think of as snake eggs. The shells are much thinner and the incubation time is much shorter.
Saharans are very cool species. I had a small breeding group for a while until I started pairing down my collection. The tip of their tail always fascinated me, why is it so oddly shaped?
Anyway, I'm glad you got your guy to eat.

good thread. glad to see that i'm not the only one with a picky eater male.
first time feeding my KSBs that i just got in a trade. female destroyed an adult mouse, male didnt want anything to do with one. I'm trying again tomorrow in its own cage rather than in a feeder tank. after that i'll just wait for another 5-7 days and try again maybe with a hopper instead see if it is a size issue.
i had a kingsnake that went 3 months without eating, i suspected breeding season behavior, but i'll never completely know. snakes are the one pet that you really don't have to worry about a whole lot if they decide to not eat (immediately)

Typically my males will not eat for 2 to 3 months during the spring/breeding season and once I can tell 100%that the females are pregnant the males usually go back on food. I feed my adult males like week old rat pups and they do great. Good luck with your new pair Kenyans are awesome!
