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.

Breeding Tips?
Hello! I'm a first-time snake owner, I have a Pueblan milk snake. I've been obsessed with snakes for a while and I was considering breeding her in 2020 (she's almost a year old right now). I think it would be a really cool experience. I've done some research but I was wondering what tips any snake breeders have for me? Here's a picture of her (She's so pretty I love showing her off!)

Glad to see you chose a Pueblan for your first as they are amazing snakes and prolific breeders. I've heard of some specimens producing three clutches in a year but I wouldn't recommend trying that for her first year. Personally, I feel brumation is a huge factor in successful breeding which is basically cooling your snake down in the winter and not feeding them during this time. Stop feeding mid October and turn of temp Nov 1. I house them outside as the temperatures where I live do not get fatally cold but I would not recommend this if your lived in a temperate environment. March 1 turn back on the heat and after a week or so start feeding her again. Keep feeding her till she sheds and then put her with a male. Sorry if that was a lot but hope that helps!

Yeah, brumation has been one of the main things I've heard and I was worried that my house wouldn't stay cold enough by just turning off her heating but putting her outside is a really good idea! I live in southern california so the temperature in the winter would be perfect! Thanks for all of the help!
