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.

Wagler's Viper Feeding
I was just wondering if anyone with Wagler's vipers feed them anything other than rats and mice.
Their natural food is mainly frogs (from what I can find) and I was just thinking if feeding my Wag some green tree frogs would be a viable alternative.
She seems to spend alot of time on the "ground" in her cage, and I was thinking something is wrong, so..... I thought feeding her rats does stop them up so maybe she could use some "natural" type food.
What do you guys think?

Try house geckos for them, alot of the wags ive seen being fed can be switched to f/t mice and rats, but some will want nothing to do with it, native foods for them would be frogs and geckos, cant vouch for frogs, but house geckos really worked for me. Wags do spend time on the ground and this is normal most of the time.

They are prone to getting stopped up. Mine was already a year old when I got it and eating f/t mice. But for the 2 years ive had her ive learned some of her ways. Usually I will feed her f/t mice once a week for two or three weeks then not feed her again until she uses the bathroom. Which could be one week or one month later (all depends on her). The main cause of constipation in the wagler's is overfeeding or dehydration. Soak her once a week on top of her ocassional mistings. I usually soak mine for a couple hours or so. Sometimes she doesn't drink much, sometimes she drinks a ton. Other than the normal husbandry, food, and water, the only other think that would make them go to the ground would be temp. They do great in the mid 70's to high 70's. Which you may know already.
