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.

Feeding help
I fed my kingsnake a meal that was too big for her. When I picked the mouse I forgot how small she was. I put the mouse in the cage, saw that it was quite big, but before I could take it out she snatched it up and wrapped it. I tried to get it from her, but to no avail. It took her about 15 minutes to get it down, but she did it. My question is, should I be concerned? I was going to add a light to her cage to up the heat a bit to help her digest, but is there anything else I should do? Here are a couple pictures of her after eating the mouse. Am I being a worry-wart? She's my first king and I enjoy her immensely and don't want to cause a problem with her. Any suggestions or advice that would put my mind at ease would really be appreciated. Thanks

Kings are extremely hardy snakes. In the wild they will eat just about anything they can swallow. I wouldn't worry. The only danger to be thinking about in the future is that feeding live mice to a smaller snake can, but rarely, cause injury to the snake. But in this case, your snake should be fine. The fact that it went at a mouse that was larger than normal might be a sign that she is quite healthy, having the energy to take down such a large prey item!
