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.

Brumation Question
What do you guys do to lower the temp of your kingsnakes for hibernation? I'm in the midwest, and I don't have an unfinished basement, and the only garage I have access to reeks of chemicals/gasoline. I've thought about building an enclosed rack with a small A/C unit on a thermostat or a wine refridgerator, but I wanted to see what other people do. Thanks

Well I have an unfinished basement which works perfect for me, but that doesn't sound like it will help you any.
Not knowing what your situation (i.e. house versus apartment) is and the number you are talking about I wouldn't know what to suggest other than a cooler room or by a window.

I'm in a condo, so I don't have a basement, and my kingsnake partner has a finished basement that is the warmest area in his house. I had some success putting corns right against a window during the winter, but I'd rather not do that. I would onlly need to cool 5 snakes, and not until next year, We just like to plan ahead with stuff like this. Any other ideas?

I'm going to shut off heat in the snake room, and crack the window.
It drops into the 40s outside here in winter (30s at night) so that should bring the room into 50s.

I don't think cracking the window in Chicago is an option.

No, it will go from 45 to -10 in a 36 hour period here. I tried it one year for a few days and the room dropped way down and there was a half foot of snow on my drafting table. It was in the 40's when I decided to crack the window.
