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.

What Is Septicernia???
One of the boa I sold died. The buyer sent me a vet report, which states, "There is no evidence of inclusion body disease in these sections. Multiple large granulomas, comprising heterophlla, macrophages and bacteria of variable morphology, were present in the intestine and spleen. The presence of fibrin thrombi with the liver suggests a hypercoaguable state. Death appears to be the result of septicernia."
My questions are:
1) What is Septicernia?
2) What caused Septicernia?
3) Can you explain what causes the death of this snake from these science terminology?
Any input is greatly appreciated.

Are you sure you do not mean SEPTICEMIA?
Septicimea is basically blood poisoning caused by microorganisms such as bacteria. Here is a dictionary definition:
Quote:
Main Entry: sep·ti·ce·mia
Pronunciation: "sep-t&-'sE-mE-&
Function: noun
Etymology: New Latin, from Latin septicus + New Latin -emia
Date: circa 1860
: invasion of the bloodstream by virulent microorganisms from a local seat of infection accompanied especially by chills, fever, and prostration; called also blood poisoning; compare SEPSIS

In layman's terms I would guess this snake had one heck of an infection somewhere in its body - so bad that it spread to the bloodstream - but then again I am no vet. You could easily ask a local vet or even your own doctor what all the terminology means, or look it up in an online medical dictionary if no one else here is sure.
