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.

RepScue AZ and Raven Alexander Knight
Hello everyone, I wanted to post some information to allow everyone to make their own judgement on an AZ Reptile Rescue called RepScue. Their founder is Raven Alexander Knight who also goes by Rae Alexander. This rescue and individual has found it fit to flip rescue animals and post customer/recipient of rescue animal addresses when they disagree with them. They claimed a hack last night, which in upcoming screenshots will be proven as false, and have cleaned up their page, but no apology has been made to the individual whose address they have released. A Screenshots will be posted below, along with who I have gotten them from and any extra details necessary. Thanks for looking.

The first three screenshots have been provided to me by Tom Gutierrez and the fourth screenshot is of the message he sent me when I posted against support for his rescue in Monitor Lizards the Urban Dinosaur(I have no screenshots of that and do apologize)

Jessica's address has been edited out due to safety reasons. The first image is of what he messaged me about to delete. This image was provided to me by Tyler George. The last three screenshots have been provided to me by Heather Devers and Jonathan Shaw.

It makes no sense to me that someone would claim to run a business, but conduct themselves in such an appalling and inappropriate manner in a public forum.
This may be off topic and I apologize, but I notice that the icon for the repscue az in the messenger is a little picture of two hands holding a chameleon. There's a reptile rescue local to me that has the same logo. The rescue local to me is a legitimate 501c3, very respected in our community and does amazing work, both behind the scenes and in the public eye.
I need to share this information with the owner regarding the same image being used...however, when I go on Facebook now to look at repscue AZ the image is gone... Interesting...

I agree. The behavior seen is appalling. The logo is from Friend's of Scales I believe? RepScue was told about this and have changed their logo

Yes friends of scale reptile rescue. You're right Repscue must have changed it. I am taking with the owner of FOS right now. At least repscue deleted it. It was just one more unprofessional mark against him

Is this guy running an actual rescue (I mean in the legal sense)? I don't know what the laws are in AZ but if he is actually registered with the state I wonder if he is violating the rules by flipping snakes. Certainly the tax board might be interested if he is claiming some kind of tax exempt or charitable status.
Or maybe the "rescue group" is a fabrication he uses to get snakes?
