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.

Ditto. It was a frustrating, humbling, and eye opening experience...but at least everything worked out well. How did Jessica respond, after the fact?

She was shaken up and then looked at me and said "Lets not do that again!"
I wasnt in danger of my life or anything, just some nasty bites, BUT had she been near my face or neck, it wouldnt have turned out as good I think.. Im just happy I learned this lesson with an 8 footer who had been sick, as opposed to a nice healthy strong 10 footer!!
I was totally at fault here for a couple of reasons..
#1. not teaching her before hand how to handle a problem.
#2. Not restraining the snake before the procedure.. I just thought "Ehh I can handle her!"
#3. Jessica is 5' tall weighs just over 100 pounds, and girliest girl I have ever met.. Had I been knocked out or couldnt use my hands, there is NO way she could have done anything to help me!! I need to start letting my brother come over on cleaning day, or making sure my neighbor is home, or something!!
But the good news is her mouth is looking MUCH better!!!

Ya know the song where the girl tells the guy that he either gives up fishing or she will leave, and he says "Im gonna miss her.." Yeah thats about the same as if she told me to get rid of the snakes..

Someone found the poll, and voted on it; when a poll is voted on, the thread will be listed like a new post was added to it.

I've been lurking here for the past couple of days. Nice forums you guys have..most herp websites are pretty small and not too active.  Is it true that pouring alcohol in and around the mouth of a very big snake will generally make it release it's bite?
