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.

Help
A month ago I purchased a 10ft supertiger retic from a supposed "reputable" dealer. It has been one problem after another. The first day I noticed mites and hissing while breathing. We treated the mites, and took the snake to the vet. The vet confirmed an RI, and prescribed Baytril. We have given him all of the shots and noticed the snakes mouth was a little weird. I'm suspecting mouth rot..any ideas on what to do...? I contacted the breeder who sold him to me, and all he would do is "give me a snake when spring comes" no refund. I'm now afraid the snake is going to die. The snake is still hissing while breathing, and the mouth is starting to get worse I believe.

Update on him: he had mouth rot and the vet prescribed an oral medicine (havn't brought him home yet) and is flushing his mouth. Hoping for a full recovery.

update ?? make sure he gets into increased heated cage. also, looks more like horrible pushing damage males can get rather than true mouth rot. I see zero evidence of mouth rot from the pics, just horrible pushing damage.

Update: mouth rot looks to be gone, still flushing his mouth. Seems to have gotten over his RI.
