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.

African Rock laying eggs without a male
I have a eight year old African Rock who has laid six eggs without ever having been with a male! i called Bob Clark and he said it has happened with Retics,Burms and Boas but he has never heard of an African Rock ever doing this. i sent him pictures and he said she may be the first in this country to ever have done this. does anyone know of any other African Rock ever doing this? p.s. her eggs are infertile at least the ones laying outside of her body,she may have more coiled up with her.

Sorry I don't have any useful information about rock pythons, but there was a post a while back about a rattlesnake that gave birth six years after being with a male and there was a general discussion on the topic of parthogenesis that might be of interest
See http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...d.php?t=265030
Any pictures would be nice!

Very interesting!
I do have a normal female ball python that was paired in the 2013/14 season and dropped 9 good eggs back in 2014. She hasn't been with a male since but she gave me another 7 viable eggs last April. Another few weeks and I'll know if it was a partho clutch or retained sperm.
