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.

How bad are bites from an adult green tree python?
I've been thinking about purchasing one in the much later future. I read their bites can be devastating enough to the point of needing stitches. Is there any truth behind this? I know a lot of stuff concerning them tend to be false.

ive known people that had to get a stitch or two from a large florida kingsnake, but said it didnt hurt.
take a bite from a 21 foot freshly laid her clutch retic, that will put a gtp bite to shame

Lol.
I must give people like you credit for keeping large snakes. I'm not sure if I'd be willing to, especially knowing every time I'm bitten it's a trip to the doctor...lol.
Speaking of that, what about adult red tail boas? Any stitches required lol?

Actually just learning your snakes overall behavior will help you avoid to be bitten. DonT buy an adult so you can raise it up and learn how it acts growing up. Ex. feeding,when its in shed,etc. I've only been bitten a handful of times and thats by babies or wc snakes.

Ouch, for the stitches. I never knew any kingsnake bite could be that devastating. Do you know if the stitches actually were needed, or did the doctor just recommend them?

well, it could have gone either way (i was there when he got bit) the thing with kingsnakes, is that when they clamp on the keep grinding and grinding. also, it was a florida king, and she was like 7-8 feet or so. they get huge for non-venomous colubrids
