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.

Fiji Boa Candoia found in toolshed....
Was just over on Kadavu Island, Fiji where this little guy was found in the toolshed. The Fijians are afraid of them so he had to be rescued from certain execution, but he was immediately placid and handlable. I had him around my arm for several hours before releasing him into the higher forest.
This is a male Candoia bibroni bibroni, showing the typical pattern of Kadavu island, but with a very striking orange tail not seen on all.

Amazing how it's almost invisible even as you're releasing it.
Are you from Fiji or an expat from elsewhere?

I avoid my toolshed so i don't feel so guilty about the chores I haven't completed. Maybe I should go take a look? Cool find!

Yeah, I think it's better than fairies at the bottom of my garden!
I'm expat British, left UK in 1986 (feel much better now...), been in Fiji since 1996.
This week taking snakes into local school to do some education and awareness stuff, should be fun...
