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.

My favorite female boa. And my first. Passed away
I've been waiting for this litter to come. This girl was my favorite. She was a breeder but my pet also. Unlike most of my others. She was an 07 het I first bought when I stopped breeding beardies. She had the best personality. The best. She was almost 8' and loved to crawl out of her cage an onto me,where she'd stay for an hr or more.
She's the big girl in my pic in my profile. I know it's just a snake,but it hurt to find her dead. And not because of the $ loss!! I seen her paper in her boaphile all ruffled up to where you couldn't see inside the cage. I was happy,thinking she had the litter I was expecting. But instead I found her laying on her belly,dead! I thought maybe I could save any babies that might still be alive.,but she was full of unfertilized eggs. Very sad. My first to go like this.
Could it be should couldn't pass them and died trying? I know it could be many things. But she was in perfect health. So I thought.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Losing a beloved pet is never easy - and she obviously wasn't just a snake to you.
Breeding any animal has its risks, and unfortunately reptiles can hide health problems very well.

I am so very sorry for your loss, Rich. I've been through something similar -- that brush with a misdiagnosis a few years back that claimed my favorite snake ever, Topaz. I miss her to this day. As someone else noted, breeding is the cause of more losses in this industry than anything short of disease. I'm sure she had a wonderful life with you, and left you with equally wonderful memories. May she rest in peace.

Very sorry to hear this, As others have said it's hard to know what's going on with a reptile until it's too late. No consolation I know.

Thank you everyone. I never thought it would bother me like it does. I guess as I'm getting older,I'm more caring in the heart.

Sorry for your loss Rich. Not sure how much getting older has to do with it but know it hurts regardless. I couldn't say for a fact what caused her death but know being gravid or just breeding alone can be rough & usually involves risk. Sorry to hear the bad news.
