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.

Growth rates
Just wanted to get a feel for what some of you have experienced over the years.
I have a pair of black pines hatched in August of '04. Both are very healthy and great feeders. They are both around the 3 foot mark. I have not pushed them as I want healthy pets first and breeders as just an added bonus. They take 2 rat pups at a feeding about every 10 days. We saw an adult female at the zoo last night (maybe calico or pied!!!!) that is easily double the size of my male (the largest of my two).
I have been planning to breed mine in '08 if they are ready. At what age have you all observed your pits reaching adult sizes? Should I increase their schedule? Am I stunting them, or is slow and steady the way to go?
Thanks!

I don't have any experience with black pines but as far as pits go sounds like they are growing pretty slow. They sometimes grow at different rates. I have an albino male bull that was 48 inches by the age of one! I didn't powerfeed him either. All my others were easily over 30 inches at one year old.
