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.

my newest woma
With the group I've got going, I really didn't need to buy a baby to bring in fresh blood...but she was just so cute I couldn't resist (and broke one of my usual rules in the process). she is opaque in the pics...getting ready for her first shed, but she ate her first ever f/t rat pup last night.

looking back at those, maybe I didn't need to buy that new camera after all...probably would do just fine by learning the bells and whistles on this one. oh well, it seemed like the thing to do at the time. Test shots with the new toy to come soon

Sadly all of the rest of mine were stillborn fully developed snakes. I'm not sure why. I incubated at 88˚. The two that hatched alive both just shed out and the female ate a fuzzy last night. The male is very high strung still, and would only strike defensively. Hopefully he calms down.

Wow, SADLY is right. Sorry to hear that...you must have been pretty disappointed. I know how much I am looking forward to my first woma clutches. I wonder what happened... You said there were 13 eggs, and only half survived to the end of the incubation period, right? were the other ones fertile eggs that just went to crap? maybe a humidity issue (thinking too high)? I haven't seen a whole lot about incubation techniques for these guys...hopefully I'll find something good by winter what did you use for incubation media?

I used a no substrate technique but the problem was that I was not expecting the clutch. The male and female were observed copulating but I never witnessed an ovulation. In retrospect, looking at photos, she was obviously gravid but I wasn't sure so I tried feeding her after what I thought might be a pre-lay shed and she ate. She ate twice in fact, a large rat each time. She had been refusing prior to that. So I figured she was not gravid. In fact I was planning to re-introduce the male when I checked on her and found the clutch. She was maternally incubating 6 that were all adherent. None of the others survived. Of those 6, two hatched and 4 were still born.
