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.

Northern Pine not feeding????
Hi,
I have a male Northern Pine snake he is about 14months old, and as never missed a feed since I bought him (12 months ago) One day when he was feeding (about 6 weeks ago) he ate the first weaner no problem then started on the second but spat it out, since then he as stopped feeding all together he wont except any food at all. weaners, mice, rat pups, pinkies etc, He dosent seem to have any kind of feeding response. He is very active and not showing any signs of being lathargic
The only change I have made to the vivs is to run them on a stat, the temps in all vivs are perfect, Warm area 80/82 Cool area 75/78.
All my other snakes are feeding without problems, and they are running on the same stat
Would really appreciate some advice on this if anybody as any to give.
Thanks

A couple of thoughts. Have you had a fecal test done? May have parasites. A trick I use is to brown bag the snakes with their food. Hoppers are crazy little things, I would suggest putting the snake in a brown bag with a hopper mouse. If you are concerned about the mouse chewing on the snake add a little mouse feed in also. Find the wildest craziest hopper mouse you can, put them in the bag and the mouse will annoy the snake so the snake will kill the mouse. Usually while coiled this will trigger a feeding response and the snake will eat.
Another idea is to use a different food item. Pine snakes eat birds and eggs. You can buy frozen chicks and scent the mouse with it, you may even need to wash the mouse too.
Good luck, hopefull others will be able to give you better answers and ask you better questions.
