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.

My question was not asking you to prove it....although, had your answer been different, I'm sure I would have. No, you just gave me a heart attack because I bought an animal from one of these breeders last summer and it's been out of quarantine for a couple of months....in my snake room with LOTS of animals! ...Ok...I think I can breathe now!

Matt Lehrer never had the infected snakes within his collection. They went into separate quarantine and then went to his vet shortly after recieving them, where it was confirmed that they were indeed sick and likely infected with paramyxovirus. He euthanized them on the spot. I have no idea what the full chain of events was for Tim Bowles, or if his collection was ever exposed, but I do know the animal appeared fine for a little while then got sick and died, which is when his connection to the same virus was brought forward.

Joe Ellis is who I was referring to. Sounds as though his animal(s) died in someone else's care so it was never in his snake room, either.

I have never purchased any animals from Mr. Ellis, but that's the way I read it, too.

That's why I said he was affected indirectly. His animals were lent to the seller on breeding loan before the virus came to light, and they were never returned. Then it was discovered that they had died within his care, after multiple people had come forward with losses due to this virus stemming from him.

Thanks for the clarification, as I was getting ready to go put myself in the freezer (would be a lot easier than having to put my animals in there!!).

Sorry Matt. Remind me to give you karma for that post.

It may have been brought up already, but I saw Damian Wyatt (I believe) on an episode of Dirty Jobs a year or 2 ago. He bought a Reptile Museum type thing, (in Florida maybe??) Does anyone know why he and Eric Trajer split up?

Not sure, but this is a BOI topic. Harald already said this thread is borderline, and I don't want to risk it being closed.
