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.

As for recognizing the people in the picture, please forgive the ignorant among us who did not. I don't make it a practice of knowing what NERD's staff and ownership look like, and to ASSume that anyone does is well...you can fill in the blank.

Jim- Can't you recongnize the building in the backgorund? That is NERD's store. I am sure you have been to NERD's site, right? And the whole thing about a 5' Python strangling someone is ridiculous. If that did happen that's natural selection at it's finest. That's like the story of a guy holding a dead rabbit under his chin freeing his hands to open his Retics cage.......MORONIC. Apples and oranges my friend. VOIDS NOR HOTS SHOULD BE HANDLED unless absolutely necessary(using the correct equipment) and the responsible keepers abide by that. Those pictures speak for themeselves...PERIOD!
NERD.....You guys really owe the reptile community an apology. Gary, Brian and a few other's posts have hit the nail on the head. Handling voids and displaying them in the careless manner at your shop is advertising voids in my opinion. Allowing children to be so close to these animals is beyond careless.
I am done ranting......there has been enough said already.

I believe you if you say it si but I have only been to their site to check available animals not to look at pictures of the store. Honestly.
And perhaps you should learn a little anatomy and physiology before you make judgements.

Though not having all the proof in the beginning its pretty clear that he is right...NERD was showing the Voids...how is that not supporting it? And they are definately playing with them. From the pics all you see is them acting like they are playing with a worm snake. The only thing he truly had anything to apologize for is posting without all the facts from the start. From where he got it all though...they knew kevin was in the pictures and the context of where it came from...

No, I am NOT going to retract my apology, I even went as far as to PM NERD later on, I just had enough time at work to sit and think about and I feel I was pushed a bit to hard. Truth is half this board would not do that. Though I wil put this out their, I have learned from this thread who to look up to and who not to deal with. You have to admit there is a pack of people here who all attack at once and repeat the same thing over and over......

Very true!! And if the people with the facts had pointed all that out I doubt that there would have been much if any criticism. Certainly none from me.
And David went above and beyond and stood up for what he did. I applauded him then and I do now.

Its not at personal issue to want to have someone to look up to and guide you in your quest for knowledge, ever heard of a mentor, a teacher, a hero? guess not, at the very least to have someone to respect.

LOL Brett, I must say you hit the nail on the head in those so few posts. I think this thread should be focused back on what it was meant to be about, NERD and their carelessness when dealing with animals such as Voids.
