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.

Please help! sick snakes
I have a spider female about 1300 grams and pastel male 1400 grams both displays UR infection symptoms. I have now seen 2 different vets and so far they have not been able to help one is pretty well know as a herp vet in jax,fl it has been a year now and it seems to come and go. In there mouth is a gooey thick and stringy mucus they have been treated with 2 types of antibiotics and nothing seems to work. i personally dont think it is UR infection does anyone know of any cases like this or thoughts on what it could be. the female spider even has saliva rush out of her mouth some times when i pick her up.

Sounds like a respiratory to me. I second Haralds question. Prescribing anti-biotics without knowing the gram type of the infection is useless. Some strains of UR causing bacteria are resistant to certain anti-biotics. If the infection cause is viral in nature anti-biotics will not be effective at all. I would say it is time for a sit down consultation with your vet to explore all the possible causes which could include gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, viral infection, or environmental (bedding, exposure to cigarette smoke, husbandry, exposure to pesticides, exposure to certain cleaning compounds, and so on).

Yes, they showed sudonomas and i have been doing injections of ceftazidime wich is a antibiotic .33 cc's 1 every 3 days. the first time they were treated with baytrill. Anyone have any thing else they think i should look into beside UR? i have looked into the symptoms of IBD and they dont show those symptoms.

Also i have a room in my house that is isolated from the rest of the house that has it own thermostat and air filter so i dont think it is exposure to any thing. I am also very cautious to use hand sanitizer before handling my snakes.
