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.

what do i do?? king snake eggs??
I came back from a camping trip and was doing my snake cages when i found 3 slugs eggs on top of the bedding and found 2 whole yellowish, hard, and dimpled eggs under the bedding. i left the 2 were they were. these are the first eggs that i have ever found and don't know what to do? i could see veins through the eggs and didn't know if they were still good or not. please any advice.

If the eggs are an ivory white color, there is a good chance they are good. However, if the eggs are more yellowish, they are likely not fertilized. If you are not sure, you might as well set them up just in case. A good simple incubation medium is ~50% water and ~50% vermiculite. Basically you want the medium to be damp but not dripping wet. If you do a search here there are a few good threads on how to incubate eggs (it is similar for most species except for incubation temperatures).

Yes it may be worth the chance to set them up,but if they are yellow don't be disappointed if they don't hatch.Best and most simplistic way to set up your eggs is with vermiculite.Get shoebox drill some small holes along the sides toward the top of the box,nail hole size,fill box 3/4 with vermiculite then moisten vermic with water until wet not soaked make sure you have the lid to the box,pick up the eggs without rollong them in any way set them straight back down in the vermic the same way you picked them up,stick them 3/4 of the way down in the vermic,cover with the lid,keep @ 82-85 degrees for 54-62 days average and if they are fertile you should have babies! any futher info call(772-240-3456) ask for george
