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.

Question regarding an old boa
I have a boa that is almost 25 years old and I have a few questions for any one who may have experience in this area.
1- How old can a red tail boa live (yes, I know, at least 25 yrs)
2- she's declined significantly over the last few years (loss of appetite, weight loss) is there anything I can do?
3- has any one ever tried "loading" food items with added nutrients and how did you do it?
Thanks, I appreciate any information you might have.

ok i have about 10 years experience and to be honest with you after 25 years you have to be extreamly careful to keep up perfect husbandry on the animal. on some of my oldest boas i have noticed the same decline in feeding responce but never anything that dramaticly affected its overall health. if you are feeding it rabbits maybe try a smaller prey item like 2 jumbo rats. and yes i use a calcium supplement that is sprayed on to the food, and you can pick it up at almost any pet store, i use the zoo med product.if you have any other questions that i might be able to help you with feel free to ask.
