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.

Of course it's good enough. Alot of people have their full name as their user name. It fits the rules.

It is very difficult to guarantee that an animal will eat once under the care of a different person. We’ve had healthy animals that will stop eating for not apparent reason only to resume several weeks later (although nothing had “apparently” changed in their environment). Subtle environmental changes may trigger a non-feeding mode. More drastic changes such of changing animals to a new environment or house can certainly result in a reptile going off-feed. All a seller can do is guarantee that the animal was feeding for him. This is fairly easy to verify by the buyer as depending on how long ago they were fed they will pass feces in their new location. Once the husbandry practices to which the animal will be subjected are out of his control IMO there’s no way he can guarantee a feeding response.
Regards

His Brazilian Rainbow Boas came in great. All eating f/t no problem. Just the Green Tree Pythons were bad. I don't know if it is how they were shipped or not. It has been a while since they were shipped as GTP can get very stressed so I tried to feed them a week after they were shipped and then the next week. I have been discussing with him if we could get eating GTP but he said the only thing he could do is give me a Free Brazilian Rainbow Boa which is half the cost of a GTP from him. I don't want to have my post meaning he is a totally bad guy but might not know his stuff as to shipping and having some animals.

I have received established GTP's from well known breeders that did not eat for well over 3 weeks after shipping. This is not uncommon and not something to be alarmed by, IMO. It is definitely not something I would necessarily fault the seller for.
And by the way, every young GTP I ever received, arrived in a deli cup with no perch.

Ok I was just seeing if some more expierence shippers of GTP's knew if that could be the case. Now I also didn't mean to say he is a bad guy. Just couldn't edit it all after it was done. I am just warning people about the GTP from him. Everything else ate super good. The gtp still no go. 1 of them has ate but the other 2 are not. This can be deleted if you guys want or buried doesn't matter just seeing some opinions. Sorry for the inconvience.

John,
Maybe, just maybe,,,, the GTP is in a shed cycle??? (if so, it ain't gonna eat)
Let the snake settle down for awhile, and keep it's humidity up.

John, I've owned and shipped a number of these guys. Some will eat the day they arrive others take awhile.. Are these your first Chondro's ?? Baby GTPS are a lot different and touchier than sub adults and adults... If you get a chance stop over at the arboreal forum and we can discuss their care more in depth if you want... Randy

Yeah I thought of that too. Have not seen it in blue though. I waited almost a month. These are not adults these are 7-8 week old babies. They can't go a month off feed like an adult. Well they can but still not healthy.
