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.

JCP hatchling feeding question
Hi,
Two of my jcp hatchlings aren't eating. They shed about a month ago and have offered pinky and fuzzy mice. I've tried live, f/t, and using chicken broth. Should i be worried yet? any ideas to get them to eat? Thanks so much!
Jess

have you tried super-heating?
i'll usually drop a fuzz under a very hot lamp for awhile to cook it up
remember these guys go for heat, so it might help...

Your best bet is to give them a perch and a live crawler. A month isn't cause for alarm yet, I go through this pretty much every year with at least one, lol. I have found that although crawlers may look to be too big, they stimulate the feeding response much better than the smaller stuff. Once they take a meal or three, you can start trying them on f/t...usually a form of "slap" teasing is required. (take the f/t prey item in long tweezers, and bump/tap the snake on the neck a bit below the head, do it again, then switch sides. It's kind of a pi$$ them off til they take the food thing)
