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.

Moving during breeding season
So I am looking at moving hopefully within the next 2-4 months, I will be moving only about 40 miles away. What is the possibility of this affecting my snakes? I am concerned they may be stressed out and not breed this season. Does anyone have any experience with this? I have some awesome snakes ready this year, I would be bummed if they did not take this season. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'll give you my advice. I have an adult albino and an adult dh sunglow in the same enclosure right now. They started courting within a days time. I decided to purchase 2 large vision cages in which to house them and was informed by multiple people NOT to move them out of their existing cage until the breeding was done as it would screw things up. I would think that if moving them 5 feet would create issues that a 40 mile trip would most certainly do the same. Either way, good luck!

I'd definitely wait if you can. If you can't wait I guess you'll have to accept the fact that you may or may not produce anything this year.

I've moved stuff just before, and at the start of breeding season. typically, I have just waited a few weeks to get them settled and haven't had problems. Depending on when you are planning on moving, it may be worth delaying the cycling process until they are moved and settled (this is what has worked best for me). Yes, you end up with later babies,...but better late than next year.

I may have to move my boa also. She is with another breeder right now, but a change of the current situation may be in order.
What about after the obvulation, and breeding cycle? What if a move was needed than? would she still produce the young?
I am referring to my albino, but you should know I've owned her for six years, she is used to traveling with me locally and afar, and is of a calm disposition all the time.
Ciao,
Rick

The temps have not quite dropped a lot for cycling so at the moment I am waiting for another couple of weeks. I wish I could remain here, but the move is deffinately needed, it looks like I may be moving around December. I guess I might as well accept a year with empty shoe boxes. Sigh.
