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.

Tail Rattling?
I experinced a very unique thing today with a baby w/c eastern milksnake. After striking multiple times, it coiled up and rattled its tail! Has anyone else experienced this? I tried to get a pic of the rattling, but he stopped when i got the camera.

that is a common practice with North American colubrids...kings, milks, rats, bulls, etc all do it. many stop as they get bigger, but if they don't the effect is more impressive, lol

My 3 year old adult nelsons milk still does this. The bad thing is she will do while she musks so it goes flying everywhere..... nasty!

My subadult Pacific gopher snake loves to rattle his against the paper towel substrate, making a very realistic rattlesnake sound.

Both of my leucistic Texas Rats do this and I laugh at them and try to tell them they are not rattler. They don't listen well.
