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.

New to reptiles
Hi all ,
I am new to this site ,but want to learn . I thought I would suprise my boyfriend and show him I am intrested in learning about his hobby .In Feb we went to the reptile show and I enjoyed it very much. Never knew there were snakes that ate eggs. Well my son (who is 7) and my boyfriend talked me into a beautiful corn snake names Elvis .(My son called him Elvis ,he said so mom when he gets out we can say Elvis has left the building )Not cute when your just getting used to snakes lol. He is about 7-9 months old and has a beautiful pattern. Yesterday I was trying to be brave and pick him up but when he moved fast I jumped away . I don't know why . I am not frightened of him when my boyfriend hands him to me .Just when I try to take him out . Is there a secret? I really would like to get Elvis used to being held and then maybe I can hold some of the other adult snakes my boyfrind has without fear. Thus the name Girlygirl - He calls me that in a cute way ,so I thought the screen name was only fitting.

Welcome!!! There's no "trick", just pick up Elvis really slowly. He moves fast because he's scared. Don't worry just let him calm down.
Do you have any pictures of him???
