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.

swollen throat?
I have a situation with 2 boas sent to me with RI mouth rot and mites.. pretty bad situation all around, anyways the mouth rot has been drastically improved and i think will be gone with a few more weeks treatment.. mites gone as well. RI is on its way out.. ambient temps 80-85 hot spot 93ish. i have been administering all the necessary treatment for everything but i have noticed the male has a swollen throat that seems to go up and down but has lately been a little more swollen.. it is not fluid in his throat from the RI, it is the actual tissue swelling.. i am not sure if he might be having a small reaction to the meds or maybe it is another symptom of the RI that i am not aware of. it just seems odd to me that the fluid in his mouth is less and less every day and the swelling stays and maybe has slightly increased. i searched for other pics of ill animals but couldnt come up with much. any thoughts? thanks,
Alberto

swelling is subsiding, i think it was related to the respiratory infection.

If the swelling has started to subside then I wouldn't worry about it to much.
Swelling can be a cause of a number of things but more then likely yes it's because the RI and mouth rot infections were that bad. Same as a human getting a cold /flu and our glands and tissues swelling.
Great to hear they're on the road to recovery.
