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.

knobolichi eating problems
I have three knobolichi hatchlings that are not eating by themselves. I have been force feeding them since July or August, so they don't look terrible but they are underweight. Any hints to get them eating?
Thanks

Were they ever eating consistently? If so, how many times?.. A lot of North American colubrids will go off feed during the winter months regardless of what temps you keep them at.. If you are still concerned you can try feeding live day old pinkies, braining pinks, or try scenting a pink with a dead anole or fence lizard. Wash the pink off good if you try this method. I have a picky eater that did not start eating for almost 2 months after it hatched.

They have not eaten by themselves at all. I put them down for brumation about 3 months ago to see if that would start them eating. They started looseing weight so I brought them up, but they still have not started eating.

Not sure why you would brumate non feeding hatchlings? Brumation slows their metabolism and usually triggers hormonal changes. Hopefully by now you have them warmed back up and are offering prey items every couple days. Good luck getting them on track!
