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.

Is this breeding behavior, or a threat?
I introduced a couple corns to the rest of my corns and one of my corns which I was told was a female started twitching when a known male came up to it. I'm kinda nervous because the female is 2 ft long and the male is a juvenile...but there not fighting. They actually enjoy eachother because they were coiled up together under aspen bedding. And its not a tail twitching, about the front half of the female twitches. Very interesting.

The twitching/jerking motion is a normal breeding response. I would suggest not housing opposite sexed animals together until they are of appropriate size and age to avoid breeding when they are too small or young which could result in egg binding or other problems.

good to know. I just read something about cannibalism and I got worried. They seem to be doing fine except my females keep shaking haha. I seperate during feeding so I dont have to worry there.
At what age can males start breeding?

Males can sometimes breed their first year but I would suggest waiting until their second. For females I would suggest 3 years and at least 3 foot.
