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.

wish new snakes...don't handle them for a week or two after you get them...make sure they eat once or twice before starting to handle them...
he probably is stressed now, getting used to a new place...so not handling him will make him less nervous...
if he stays in a hidebox, it doesn't always means he's stressed...it's just more comfortable in there...mine are usually in their hideboxes and sometimes come out at night...
you'll learn to read your snake more once you've had him for a while...my bps are really sweet...then I have a little cornsnake that's pretty nervous...lot of animals...if you want to see I have most up at www.hatchingherps.bravehost.com
I don't know how to do a signature here and writing out my list of animals each time would just take too long...
good luck, Rachel

well he had his first meal today, i went and got to live fuzzis (mice) and i droped the first one in there and he never saw it ( he was layin under a heat lamp) and the mouse went in his hide box. after waiting a few minutes with him not moving i picked him up and moved him to in front of his hide box and he dashed in there and curled up around it. after it finished him he stayed in his hidebox and i waited a few minutes and droped the other one in there just in front of his hide box. he mved out of the box some and just stayed right beside the mouse and was watchin us, i dont think he liked the camera cuz he tryed to bit it but did not realize we were outside of the aquarium (i was recording it cuz my moms 4th grade class wants to watch it eat). about that time the mouse started shivvering bad or was having sezziers or something and we decided to leave the room and see if he was going to eat and i went back in there about 2 or 3 minutes later and he was currled around him and i grabed my camera and took a few pictures
