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.

researching IBD
I adopted a red-tail from the Northern California Herp Society today. It is in all ways apparently healthy and kept in a totally seperate area of the house than my ball python. These are the only 2 boids that I have.
I walked into the pet store I used to work at not long after arriving home with my snake (needed a bag of carefresh). The first thing my old boss told me was that Gary (a customer I used to work with) had come in and told her that his redtail boa had just died and the veterinarian suspected IBD.
She said that the snake had gone to the vet 4 days prior (according to Gary) and then died. He also has a ball python in his home.
I've been reading through some of the information on anapsid.org about IBD. And from what I've been seeing, it would have been a much longer, drawn-out death than this. She also told me that Gary had not opted for a necropsy, as far as she knew.
I have read a bit on here about entire collections having to be euthanized to avoid spreading the disease.
Does anyone have any good websites that they could point me to? Any deeper information?
Any thoughts on the death of Gary's redtail? (kind of hard with almost zero details, I'll see what else I can find out).
And are researching relatively sure that IBD does not affect colubrids?
