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.

Burms or Retics???
Hey people,
I wanted to find out if you had to choose between Retics or Burms which would you choose and why? I am a dragon guy, but I have always loved big snakes like these. So I thought I 'd ask what you like.

If I could pick I would say burm simply because I find the pattern more appealing than a retic.

Actually, I've kept both, and liked both....but if I were to have one again, it would definitely be a retic. Then again, if we open up the options just a bit; and narrow them a little, too (to even the playing field by excluding morphs) - I would choose an Afrock over a burm or retic. Every time. No hesitation. It's not that they have outstanding coloration or wild patterns, but they are just such great snakes.

I too like the retic's pattern better, but nothing to me beats the Green burm. I love the spots and background pattern
I didn't know Afrock's were "such a great snake" I always veiwed them as aggresive and un easy to keep. Thanks for the perspective guys

Most people that have that viewpoint have never taken the time to get to know an afrock . Or, maybe it's just that I could relate to them....who knows. I've had a bunch pass through my care, and most were quite tractible when they moved on to their new homes (I fostered quite a few for the herp society's adoption program). My own rocks - well, I trusted them as much as any burm I ever kept, and was quite comfortable handling them...but nobody else could get near them. I think that's part of why I like them so much, lol.

Oh so you like their "dog like quality" of loving you but hating others ok I can understand that. So their arn't any color variations? That's a new one. It seems like everything has at least one.
