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.

Baby rosy boas...sell?
Hi! I am considering breeding my pair of Coastal rosys. I've been reading what I can find, and one question that I can't get answered is this....at what point are babies ready to go to a new home, if I ended up selling any? I'm not sure that I would, but it would be nice to know

Most breeders sell their babies when they are consistently feeding on frozen/thawed.

Thanks! So there isn't a standard number of meals that people go by?

I think two or three meals is probably typical. Let common sense be your guide. When you feel the snakes are well started enough so that the typical hobbyist can get them going and have them thrive, it's probably time to start offering them.
The risk of selling them too early is that if the buyer is inexperienced with that species, or snakes in general, they may not be able to get them feeding, or other husbandry problems may occur. While this may not be your fault as a breeder, you probably don't want dissatisfied buyers, and you probably don't want the babies to suffer and die.
The best time to sell neonates is generally when they are reliably feeding and well past the "delicate" stage. You may also want to factor in the experience level of your buyers.

I usually sell baby snakes once they have eaten three meals. I did once have a customer call me to tell me an animal he got from me wasn't eating, but I was able to talk him through getting the little one started again.
