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.

Help Please!!!
I have a 2004 CAB that completely refuses to eat. He has not eaten in months and you can really tell. He's starting to look thin. I've tried live and f/t but nothing seems to work. Anyone have any suggestions at all???? I really don't want to loose my baby.

Ok, I have a few suggestions...
1 make sure the humidity is 50-60%
Make sure s/he has fresh water available
Make sure there is a heat gradient from about 85 on the warm side, and 75 on the cold side. Also a mid 90 basking spot.
If that doesnt work, or if that is already provided...
Leave the snake in a paper bag (fold over the top, and staple the bag shut) with a live mouse fuzzie, or a live rat fuzzie. Try them both.
Also, you can try gerbils.
If all of these tactics fail (make sure not to leave the snake with a live gerbil, adult mouse, or weanling or larger rat, as they can inflict some bad wounds) then find an experianced keeper to force feed her.
Don't try these more than once every 4 or 5 days, as to not stress her a whole ton.

Indeed.
There are many other tricks. You can try braining the mouse. You thaw out a pinkie, or fuzzie mouse, and crack it's skull open. You can scent the mouse with things like chicks. Put broth on it's head, or even though a mouse out in broth.
