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.

11 MONTH OLD RATTLESNAKES MATING
This morning, I went to check in on my snakes and found the morulus locked. Has anyone experienced this with snakes this young? Have any young been produced as a result?

The female does appear gravid, but nothing yet. She is still feeding on fuzzies weekly.
I post some pictures as soon as I can.

Let me know what you think...
I've been told because of her age, the young, if any may have defects..

Why on earth are you keeping these together & allowing them to mate? Gee, don't you care about them? They are beautiful animals, but reproduction in such a young snake could result in her death, not just defective offspring, and at best will likely stunt her growth.

I've always kept my neonates together for the first year. Only separating them for feeding, and then permanently separating them for the winter and keeping them separate there after. This is the first time, in 23 years, this has happened. And truthfully, I am VERY STRESSED over this. I am well aware of the consequences. At this point I can only hope she survives.

Well, I hope she survives too, & I really hope you modify your practices. Years ago (when I kept many rattlesnakes) I made the mistake of keeping 2 together that seemed perfectly compatible: both were established captives (same gender) & they had plenty of space. But one day, one apparently fell asleep & suddenly awoke with the motion of the other...and responded accidentally as if the motion were that of nearby prey. The other snake was bit in the head & it died shortly thereafter. I felt horrible about that, & never again listened to anyone who told me they could be kept together. They rely on their instincts, & mistakes can be lethal.

I certainly have! I purchased additional tank, lights etc. and separated EVERYTHING. I was also keeping some same gender together in 50 gal tanks.
Its not worth the loss of any of my animals, or the stress for that matter.
Thanks Caro! I appreciate the feed back!

And thank YOU, Jesus, for being open to change and the courage to say so. I rescued & kept many rattlesnakes for some 20 years & really love them more than I can say without sounding sappy, lol. I think they have more intelligence & personality than most believe, but they do still make mistakes, & they're SO quick! All the best!
