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.

Changing
Can anyone tell me how hard it is to change from a live diet to f/t? I have 2 normal ball pythons and 1 JCP. They have all been eating live since I have had them, and I have been thinking of changing to f/t. Is this a good idea? Thanks for any input.

Nettie,
If your snakes are aggressive feeders, p/ft should not be an issue. You may want to start them on "fresh" prekills first if you are worried about it.
I have had quite a few snakes (although never any Balls or JCP's oddly) and never had any problem with frozen - even with young Dumeril's boas which I have heard can be a bit finicky.
The main reason I went to frozen / prekilled was an article I read about its benefits - reduction in stress, reduction in food-borne pathogens, no risk of injury from uneaten rodents, and the most important reason - its cheaper and more convenient!
- Michael.

Hi there,
As Michael said, changing from live to F/T is usually not a big issue with most. It will be safer for the snakes in question and is also much more convienent because you can buy and store in bulk.
Here is an article by Robyn of ProExotics that will give you some advice about how and why to make the switch. Good luck!
