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.

puffy throat in Eastern Indigo
Has anyone else observed Eastern indigo with a puffy throat while being handled? Like a pouch under it's chin. My big male does this especially, and my smaller female to a lesser degree. It's not the neck extension and rearing back posture that they engage when agitated/excited. I wonder if this is common or if it's a sign of illness? Mine are robust and eat like horses and seem very healthy. Any comments?

It is normal for indigos. Just a threat display.

+1.....handle them more, and the threat will stop. These snakes get to love being handled: after handling mine, maybe taking them outside for a while, they will always come to the front of the cage, even crawl out into my hands, for more!
I kid you not. I've had many thousands of snakes in my life, but only Drymarchon responds like this to handling. They are scared of nothing, and absolutely come to know their owners. The more they are handled, the happier they will be.
