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.

Volta Region WC finally ate!
Just like the title says, I finally got my Volta, or Subsaharan to eat! She has eaten 5 ASFs now. I'm gonna try a regular rat today.
I believe she was collected last October. I got her in later November, and she laid eggs in later January. She hadn't eaten the whole time until just last week.
Her babies are growing like weeds, too, so that's cool.
Anyway, I'm just happy and relieved she finally is eating.

I know this is a very old thread....
But did you do anything special? Or just keep trying? I have a Volta that I got in January that ate once wile gavid. But refuses to eat since laying her eggs about a month ago. I have tried regular rats, gerbils, and now currently there is a live ASF in with her. I put the ASF in with her yesterday and it has lost fear of her and they are sleeping together??? Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated!

yeah, take that asf out of her tub!
That's NO BUENO. Never leave live rodents in a tub with your snake, unless its a pink. That is unless you want your snake to be rodent food.
Just continue to offer food. She will eventually eat something.

She will not just "eventually eat something".... I know of a few people that never could get theirs to eat, and they starved to death.
With mine, I tried rats, mice, gerbils, and ASFs. I don't know what finally got mine to eat, but she has been sporadic, too. She regularly goes on fasts, and then she'll eat like crazy. I've not gotten her to lay eggs again --even though she has locked MANY times with a male-- but she does eat fine.
Good luck with yours!
