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.

Ok. That idea is out... What if we go to the local pet shops and tell them what is going on? Tell them that if they don't help out, all they will be able to sell is cats and dogs.

Ok. I just got back from my local pet shop and asked them if they would sign a petition. The manager said she would but she couldn't be sure if I could put of signs near the reptile section to alert other reptile owners without the owner first clearing it. She said the store try's not to get into politics. I am trying to do my part, but we haven't even hit 5,000 signatures yet. How is this possible? Does the reptile nation as a whole not care about this? Do they think the government is just joking around? I know that there is at least 500,000 reptile owners across the U.S., so why don't we have more signatures yet? We only have until Feb. 17.

Explain to them that by them not getting into "politics", they may be stuck with merchandise they can't sell or unable to sell fast moving, money making merchandise. My local pet store got ran out of town by PETCO, otherwise I would already have something posted there, guaranteed.

What about Petco? They have to have people that like or love reptiles there. All pet stores big or small could be losing a crap load of business. Petsmart and petco aren't that big where they can afford to lose money. Are they?

I was referring to local pet stores. I talked to Petco a long time ago. One of the former employees from closed pet store now works at petco, he has a huge collection and handles the reptile part of the store.

I know you were, but I was asking about petco. The part of Michigan I live in, we have one pet store, Petsupplies plus but then in Portage, we have Petsmart,Petco, and a few others. Would the big pet stores be willing to help you think? I don't know if they would want to since they are the bigger guys.

If the 5,000 people that signed could get 5 family members to sign, we would be done. Unless that's too much trouble
