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.

Rosy boa with possible RI from 4 day shipping trip
So, I need thoughts from everyone, please. I was shipped a juvie rosy boa on Mon. from CA to AR. A heat pack was used. She was dropped off Monday afternoon at a fedex store or similar place. Unfortunately, the place overlooked her when sending out their packages so she stayed the night there. She was then sent out with Fedex on Tuesday. Because of issues with Fedex, she spent all day and night in Ft. Worth, TX yesterday. I finally got her this morning. 4 days later. She was very cold and lethargic. After warming her up a bit, I noticed that she is open mouth breathing and blowing bubbles. Generally indicative of a RI. Also looks like her lower jaw is misaligned and slightly swollen. Do you all think that is something that has to do with shipping and with proper care it will go away, or should I take her to the vet? Thanks

I would have already called the vet.
Also, why wasn't anyone watching tracking to make sure the package moved? I practically wear out my F5 key refreshing the FedEx site when I have a snake coming in.

I was watching and I told the shipper about the problem. I was unaware that he did not drop off at an actual fedex hub, but used a company called shipnex.
And trust me, I call fedex many, many times, but it does not really make a difference. It is not like they are going to put her on another plane just because I told them too. LOL

This doesn't help your snake, but the seller should have done some research first. http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...d.php?t=261960

The vet appointment has been rescheduled to Monday. The vet that I was going to see only seems lizards and torts, not snakes.
The vet that sees snakes is out of town till Monday.
I have her warm and dry right now. Aside from her breathing issues, she seems to be ok for the time being.
Thank you!
