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.

MISSING: Brazilian Rainbow Boa - photo link attached
I am desperately searching for my very tame, adult, female, brazilian rainbow boa! She was in San Diego from ~July - December 2010. She then was supposedly sold to a BRB breeder in Arizona. She had been blinded due to awful care with respect to temp. and humidity in early 2010. Due to the blindness she was then sold again (not sure if she stayed in AZ). Please help me find her. Do you have any information that you can share with me? I really appreciate your help and kindness.

Yes, Hello Tom -
Here are the details of my situation... Thank you for your compassion!
My name is Hallie and I am desperately searching for my very tame, adult, female BRB. Very long and sad story: Got her at Berkeley Vivarium as a baby in 1999. In 2010 extenuating circumstances in my life caused me to find a new home for her - with the contingency that if she was ever not wanted by this person that I was to have first right to her back. I had found what I thought was going to be a great, permanent home for her as an educational snake for a critter camp in Pine Valley, CA. I gave the lady my vision tank, all my supplies, etc. and I explained that she required constant care re. temp and humidity especially. The lady told me everything I wanted to hear but acted completely contrary! So So sad... the lady sold my vision tank for money and the poor snake became blind with severe eye caps due to not being able to shed properly. The lady never told me that the critter camp was not a success, that my snake was doing very poorly or that she was taking her to Pet Kingdom in San Diego to be sold. I called her consistently every 1-2 months to check on my BRB. She lied to me every time I called and said all was fine. As I approached the lady at the beginning of Jan. 2011 to get my BRB back, she told me more lies. Ultimately she admitted that she had taken my snake for consignment. When I contacted Pet Kingdom to inquire, I was told that she was there from ~ July - December 2010 and had arrived in very bad shape. An employee (Nick) had a friend/Brazilian Rainbow Boa breeder (they would not disclose name of his friend) in Arizona who wanted my BRB. However, after this person in AZ found out that she was blind, he sold her to another individual (possibly named George - not sure if this is the truth). I am stuck here.
Please help me if you can! Do you know anyone who has purchased a blind adult female recently?

Sorry that person lied to you like that, and misled you to think your snake was being properly cared for when it wasn't at all
Hope you fine her..

Missing Brazilian Rainbow Boa
Thank you to those of you who have responded with such compassion and sensitivity! I am not going to give up on my search for her. She was such a cool snake. I have also reported the Pine Valley Bible Camp employee to the Humane Society and they will be visiting her home to make sure no other animals are being abused/neglected!
