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 with converting.
I have 1.1 Central Plains Milksnakes. My male is 9 inches and my female is 7 inches. I work with every species of hognose snake, but I need some help with getting these gentilis on rodents. They won't eat them. They will only eat snakes and lizards. They are good eaters and never refuse a f/t skink, anole or snake. How can you scent a pinky with a snake?
I got these from my friend Daniel Parker. But, anyway, since they are good eaters, I assume that getting them on rodents won't be a big deal.

Well Jordan, for stubborn graybands I do this:
Offer frozen thawed pink while deli-cupped.
No success = brain the pink
No success = wash pink and scent with frozen thawed anole. First attempt I just rub the pink all over the anole, second attempt I split the anole and scent using the guts
No success = try the same thing with a fence lizard, since you're in Spring Hill you should be able to find fence lizards pretty easily.
No success = assist feed mouse tails and keep trying all of the above until something works. I've had luck on a few occasions assist feeding mouse tails until the fall, then cooling the babies a couple of weeks. Sometimes they go right after a pink at that point. I will also try live baby anoles that I catch and if they take those, I will gradually introduce scented pinks and scent them less and less until they take unscented. Hope this helps!

My gentilis are actually eating real good now on rodents with no scent required. I will have some Red Milks, New Mexico Milks and Pale Milksnakes in soon from various localites.
