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.

Just came in, concerned
I purchased a 0.2 het albino pair of ball pythons. One turned out to be male, the other female.
The female I'm concerned with. Attached are two head shots. Anyone seeing what I am? She's also wheezing a bit and gaping her mouth open.
It appears to me that she experienced some sort of trauma to the top of her head, or it's a birth defect of some sort. She's not very strong either, barely grips when coiled around my arm...
Any opinions???

Looks "Dain Bramaged"
I don't know about trauma to the head. It may have been born that way. Did you notify the seller to note your concern or displeasure? I would not accept an animal like that.

I do not think
I would be happy with them. The female has something wrong for sure, either trauma or genetic, not sure which but either way she could be a problem animal. Has the seller been informed of the missexed animal?

Yes, he has been informed of the missexed boa. I didn't really take note to the head until last night. I really wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one that saw something wrong...

If it were me I'd be on the phone to the breeder and getting a refund arranges, for both.....one is missexed and the other is "damaged goods." Get the money back and get those things in a box and down to UPS ASAP.

I'm thinking a birth defect due to a calcium problem maybe, just from the pic's looks like both the skull and the way the neck vertebre attach look off. I'm not a vet and could be wrong, but I am sure it's an inferior animal and i would definatly send it back

That is so sad...
I took the liberty of copying those pics as I had a Vet. friend of mine coming over for lunch and a once-over for my critters. (It's easier than hauling everyone to his office!) I figured you wouldn't mind a professional look-see.
He couldn't be exactly sure just by looking if it more nearly resembled a birth defect or some trauma that could have occurred. He did say what the rest have been saying, that he would indeed send the animal back and that he would never try to breed her. He also wanted me to note that as the animal grows that defect may induce major complications down the road.
Poor girl. Hope this helps you out, she is a pretty snake. It's sad to see her that way.

Thank you, LB. I feel bad sending her back to him...But I can't have paid the money I did for a "damaged" snake...When I could spend the money elsewhere and get higher quality.
