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.

Be sure to look up all necessary water parameters, these guys actually are pretty sensitive. Hope it does well for you, did it eat, yet? They did say it was eating, but you never know until you see it for yourself!

Yes he has eaten! I put 5 goldfish in there on Sunday and there are 2 today so unless they walked away I think he ate them! I did all the research I could on them (all three websites that mention them) and a lot of them have conflicting ways to keep them but I am setting up the basics of all the sites I've looked at so he should be all set!

Very cool to see something new (to me anyway). I presume it's freshwater? Venomous at all? Very interested to see more pics and hear more about him.

No venom (one of few aquatics without it) and they can live in fresh or brackish water but stop drinking in high salinity so I doubt they would be able to live in salt water. They are very very interesting and this site has possibly the most information out there on it so it's worth a read if your interested http://www.acrochordus.com/javanicus.htm

They are very cool indeed. I have also had a desire to work with them, but I can't have them all. I typically stay away from anything in water. Too much work when you have a fairly large collection to maintain.
They would be interesting to get a breeding program going.

I would LOVE to breed them, I now have my eye on a $650 300g aquarium which would be big enough to house the 8+ feet of female and the 5+ feet of male plus some babies! But right now thats still a dream. I am getting a 75g aquarium tomorrow to house him/her as a permanent home. At least until I find he or she a boyfriend or girlfriend! I am so scared to pop it, it has almost no muscle mass since it doesn't need any, I don't wanna break the little guy! So hopefully the vet will be able to tell me tomorrow!
