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.

needing a diagnosis from experienced keeper
I ask that everyone be patient,because i have some explaining to do of the situation. first, before anyone who notices i live in Kentucky starts screaming about the legality of owning Alligators, i have had mine since 2004, which means he's legal. anyway, i recently moved to a larger house about two weeks ago, since then my gator hasn't eaten at all, for two weeks now not a single nibble. he is in a larger set-up,plenty of room and temps have remained as they always have. also, he is fed primarily rats and an occasional piece of chicken and beef. he also, regurgitated this morning, since he had no food on him for fourteen days that's a mystery,he has done that before when he was overfed, but don't understand why now? anyway, besides that he looks and acts as vibrant as ever. so please, i need some expert advise. should i be worried or is this something that will pass. my feeling is that it was all primarily due to stress. thanks.

well i do not own any alligators but my best guess would be that maybe the stress from moving caused his immune system to decome deficiant which could cause him to become ill. he may also have a parasite. as i said i do not know alligators very well but i would do some research about it and keep trying to get some help as much as you can. good luck hope all goes well

yes, i believe you're right. he has however started to eat again, although he ate only one rat, but it is an improvement. he seems to finally be adjusting to everything i guess it will just take time. thanks for the input.

Yes, everything is fine. i was told it was due to being in a different atmosphere and after he was used to it, he would once again establish his territory and resume being a gator. in fact he has! he is back to his ole wonderful self! thanks again everybody.
