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.

I am just starting this whole process. I just signed up for my account online so i am guessing the next step is to get my box tested and to talk to my area rep.
One question, will the fedex boxes pass the testing? I read in an earlier post where it said you could not use a fedex box and was wondering if this is still true or if now you can use one of their boxes?
Also, should i talk to my rep before sending in the box or just go ahead and send in the box to get tested?

I just set up an account with FedEx. They are mailing me the info packet/contract and my shipping labels. I wonder how it will work exactly for the test box. Should be interesting. Thanks for this post it has helped a lot!

Yes you can use FedEx boxes. I used an 11x11x11. It will tell you on the bottom of the box the weight limit and the one I used was 30 pounds. Line the inside with syrofoam half inch or three quarters is fine. Put in your snake bag, deli cup, etc. with a fake reptile or even a note card that says "I am a reptile" You dont have to use a heat pad but I taped one to the lid just like I would when I ship. Last thing to make sure of is to use another larger box and use newspaper to cushion around your box you want tested and just write test inner box on the outside of the package. Call FedEx Testing and they will give you their account number to bill to 2nd day Express and that is all there is to it. You do not have to talk to your rep before shipping to the testing facility. Good luck

This has probably been mentioned by now but the link in the quote is no longer valid.
Instead try the following link that takes you to a page with links to the application as well as the instructions.
