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.

Reticulated Python enclosure question
I am building an enclosure for my sweet little girl, who is becoming larger by the day. My plan was to complete the inside with cement covered foam, but after watching videos online, I have started overthinking everything again. Can reticulated pythons live in a cement environment which may be acidic? (I will of course seal the cement with a nontoxic sealant, but it may still be acidic and there is little information to be found on the subject, online.)

Do yourself a favor, use 3/4" PVC sheet, and seal/weld the seams. You will have a strong, non-porous, and easy to clean enclosure that will last longer than your retic does.

You are very very right. I have already made the enclosure out of melamine sheet, 1x4", 1x6" and and 2x4" lumber. I have issues paying attention and bought 80lb of concrete among other unnecessary items and have spent at least $1200 on an this thing so far.

Melamine is ok for enclosures that don't have a high-humidity critter, or for racks, but I've got some 48" enclosures made of it that I use for boas and young retics, and I've had to lay in a second floor made of vinyl sheet because the melamine split, water got into the wood, it swelled and made a mess, etc. Plus the enclosures are heavy.
