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.

Cooks Tree Broa Constantly Shedding.
At the local pet stores they have several tree boas in way to small enclosuers with constant shedding issues. They can't sell them because they're highly aggressive and bite, so no one wants them and they've been shedding since arrival. I'm thinking of rescuing them! I held one and I found him to be a sweetheart. I have a question. This shedding issue I think is because of wrong humidity levels ( they dont mist them or anything ) and general stress. Any other issues it may possibly be? Before I drop like 80 bucks on each of them. . . They need saved. :/

I take it your referring to Amazon Tree Boas. If they have Cooks let me know I want them ,, People often call ATBs Cooks ..
Anyway young animals shed often and adults will when they are injured , they shed more often as the wound or cut heals. If they are packed in a small cage they could be getting rubs ETC that would cause them to shed more than usual.. You didn't mention if they were colored ATBs so I assume that they are garden phase and 80 bucks is a little high for a garden and low for a decent one with color.
They can be little devils that's for sure Randy

I just want to clarify - shedding constantly and constant shedding issues have different meanings to me & I am not totally sure which you meant.

Can I ask what store this is in Ohio? If it's Captive Born Reptiles, please don't support them. The conditions their animals live in are horrible. I know you want to save those little kids, but it would only be encouraging the owner to buy more and not take care of the new ones.
And, if it IS Captive Born, they are definately NOT Cook's. They are Amazon Tree Boas.

I bought both of them. Manager gave me a great discount because they're so aggressive, they didn't bite me tho, heh -- bit him! But they seem to love me. I got a male and a female, I soaked them in warm water and most shedding is fine. They had issues due to humidity I believe because they couldn't keep tanks humid enough. They're looking good. I'll provide pictures of them in their new enclosure in a bit. I want to let them settle before I go snap picture happy. They're beautiful I must say. They have been rescued from Pet Supplies Plus. ;P I know I shouldn't support pet stores and I usually buy straight from reptutable breeders but I felt horrible for them and felt I needed to get them out of there. They're a bit underfed but that should clear up soon enough. I know its horrid to support, but the manager of the snakes whom is a friend of mine said they will not carry them anymore, and he didn't order them. . I believe him. He's a good guy, and has been great with herp help over the years. We yapped for a few minutes about his rattlers, they finy gave him some babies. Pics in about hour or two. <3

Could be something like retained eye caps or mites causing the shedding issues.
