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.

jsrocket	Need Advice on Treating RI in Black Milk Snake This post is actually a few questions. My small (16.5 g), female black milk is mouth breathing, wheezy, and has a saliva-like discharge coming from her mouth. I am sure she is in distress from some sort of respiratoy infection. I have read other posts on the subject, but have not come to any conclusions. I want to go with an injectable cephalosporin, such as Fortaz. I have also heard RI's in snakes are treated with Baytril. Is this the same drug as amoxycillin? Anyone know how to get medications for this without going to the Vet? Also, would like info. on the technique of injecting snakes. ie injection sites. needle size, and any other info on this medication. Finally, any info on other treatments, or things to do when you have a snake with a RI, would be very welcome (humidity, heat etc)She's going to be a beauty, and I would just hate to see her go. She needs help Fast. Thanks, Jim
