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.

General Herp Talk Can't figure out where to post down in the other discussion forums? Too many options and too complicated? Well post your herp related messages here and to heck with it. |

I make deals with my wife. Every time I want/need a new boa my wife gets a kitten or something. It works for us, however five cats and thirty or so boas later in the bedroom and something had to give. We moved.

My boas do not bother the cats/dog, if it does not smell like a rodent and they are well fed, boas usually do not bother with the other animals(this has been in my case).
Personally, I found a woman who likes reptiles and does not have a problem with mine at all. So I married her. The others who had issues I did not even bother with having a relationship with, too much whining "eww, I will not go in the house if there is a snake!"

I've never had the boas and the cats in close quarters together. What if.... It would surely end my hobby. I have an awesome wife to let me go where I have gone, but I do sometimes get, "how come you're always down there with those snakes?". She lets me do what I want but she doesn't have the bug.

Well, first off, when my honey first said that he wanted snakes I thought to myself......oh "bleep bleep" no!! But then he convinced me to at least go and look so I did. When we (read me...lol) finally decided to get one, he told me I could pick out something out for myself if I wanted to and I ended up with an albino cal king and a leopard gecko.....he started with something small (a ball python) so I wouldn't be afraid of it since it didn't get as big as a burm. Since then I have in my house 3 ball pythons, 1 redtail boa, 1 albino cal king, 2 bearded dragons, 2 leopard geckos, 1 gargoyle gecko, 2 crested gecko babies, 2 dumeril's boas, 1 Texas Rat, 1 Hogg Island Boa, 1 Pacman Frog, 1 Albino Burmese, 2 Uromastyxs, 1 Savannah Monitor, 1 Dumeril's Monitor, 1 Chinese Water Dragon. This is in addition to 1 Dachshund (which I got after a snake purchase), 4 Finches, and 2 Love Birds (who are sitting on eggs). I have to mention that the house we live in was built in the 1950's by his grandfather and is a small 2 bedroom!!
So to address the "stink" issue......my house doesn't stink and neither does the reptile shop that we opened as a result of our hobby.
Tell your girlfriend that everything will be fine!!

Sean, earlier you asked a question about febreze. back when febreze first came out I was working at a very nice retail pet store. Several of our customers told us about losing fish and birds after exposure to febreze. I don't have a specific experience with reptiles, but I take no chances with my beauties. Told my girlfriend to keep the stuff away from the animals, which by the way don't stink unless my beardie cooks up a good one. Good luck!

She'd probably rather see snakeskin used for clothing accesories than to be used as clothing for your pet. Get a new girl, one that likes snakes. (and not just trouser snake either, real snakes)
