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.

1.1 Kenyan sand boas
Matt, let's first establish their size, age, overall health, and the conditions they were kept in before you aquired them. I have yearling 2.2 anery KSB's and I keep them on aspen shavings. They have a daytime high up to 100 degrees in the hot spot and cool down into the upper 70's at night. I feed them an appropriate sized mouse fuzzy once a week. Mine are growing like weeds and I always have to root aroung in the aspen to find them. Sometimes they scoot pretty quick and sometimes they just lay there and let me pick them up. I feed at night because I take them out of the aspen and place one snake and one fuzzy in a small rubbermaid tub. This way they don't feel so exposed and eat without any problems.
Lethargic herps usually are either suffering from hypothermia (to cool temps) or may have some sort of internal parasite(s). If you are not comfortable that your new herps are in tip top shape, then a trip to a herp vet is in order. Hope this helps, David
