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.

Ticks, a bit of help?
I have 1.1 pair of ATBs that after closer inspection I have found that they have ticks. This WOULD upset me, but these boas only cost $97.50 shipped, so I didnt feel that I had a right to be upset. I just prayed they didnt have mites, which they dont, thankfully.
Anyway, normally these ticks wouldnt be a problem, but almost all of them are on the top of the heads and right behind the head. Im having a hard time getting them off without hurting them. I have one eye due to a accident that rendered my left eye useless, the lense is gone and the pupil is always dialated and not a perfect circle, so I dont have depth perception. Thats a reason I havent gotten into hots. Anyway, I have a hard time judging exactly how far I have to go to pull the ticks off with out pulling any of their scales. Is there anyway to kill them so that they come off easily? I tried what I used to kill mites, but they didnt succumb to it.
Any help?

When I asked what he already used, I was referring to him saying:

Its called De Flea Reptile Relief. I havent had to use it too often, but it has worked well for me so far.
It hasnt killed the ticks, but I have to admit, it will be easier getting that on them, rather than making them mad by pulling them off.

One thing that should work if you have it is Ivermectin just dab some on the ticks and it'll do them in.. You can get it at most feed and livestock stores.. I don't recall using reptile relief on ticks but it may work.. Randy
