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.

atrox rescue...
Yesterday I received a call from a person that claimed to have a Rattlesnake tangled in deer netting next to his house. I get quite a few callls about snakes tangled and caught in this stuff. Usually it is a Texas Rat Snake. I was pleasantly surprised when I got there to find a 3ft atrox in the netting! Even though it had limited movement, my girlfreind restrained it with a pair of tongs while I cut out the section of netting it was in. I placed it in a bucket and brought it home to be tubed and cut out. Here are some pics.

Glad to see that there was no damage to the animal. That stuff can cut deep.
So which one is the "Girlfriend" in that photo?

She did
her part before the snake was brought home! The person holding the tubed snake was my friend David Buchanan. I was the one operating the scissors!

Oh, that poor thing! I've never seen deer netting before; does that junk really work against deer or do THEY get tangled in it too? Glad you were able to fix him up!

Deer netting...
It is effective for keeping the deer away from the plants. But as you can see, snakes get caught in it very easily. An easy solution is to raise the bottom of the netting 6" above the ground. This allows clearence for a crawling snake. Not always effective for a climbing Rat Snake though.
