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.

Feeding issue
So I've gotten my ksb for about 4 days now and its 3 months old. I tried feeding it today and the pet store told me that it has upgraded to a large pinkie, so i tried feeding it to him in a tupperware container with air holes and i tried both covered and not covered. It's still not eating, it hasn't eaten for about 2 weeks now and I'm getting a little worried. He pokes the pinkie around but doesn't bite it or anything, he'd push it around the container and try and escape the container. Basically I'm guessing hes playing with his food... Should i be worried about this? and oh, last time he got his weight checked he was 20g and about 11 inches. Thanks

You've only had him for 4 days - it is too soon to be worried.
Sometimes snakes take some time to settle in (especially if they are being messed with more than they like). Now is the time for you to step back & make sure that you have everything right (temperature, cage set up, etc). Is your snake possibly preparing to shed? Many snakes will not eat during ecdysis (though many will).
If you are going to use a separate feeding area (I am not a proponent of that practice, but that doesn't make it wrong), you might try moving the snake and letting him sit there for a while before offering food. A piece of paper towel that can serve as cover might help, too

Thank you so much, i know im a bit noob when it comes to snakes. If i wasnt to feed it in a seperate feeding area, how would i be able to feed it in its cage? because many people told me to put it in a seperate feeding area. Well the average temperature for the cage is around 25-30C and i try to keep it around the same temperature during night time. I also have a heating pad on the bottom of the cage, the cage is covered in aspen with the water dish on the cool side, away from the heating pad. Oh and theres a rock filled with moist moss..sometimes he likes to go in there. Oh its a 10 gallon aquarium with aspen. Oh would it be a good idea to try and feed the snake again this sunday? since i got it last saturday.
Thanks a bunch
