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.

1:7 group of Ornate Box turtles in the Houston area
I have a small group of Ornate Box turtles I need to move pretty soon, one male and seven females. I would of already sold them but I was waiting for them to come out of hibernation. They woke up a few weeks ago, 5 of them are active and eating great and 3 of them are still pretty sluggish, half asleep and havn't eaten much. I don't have room for them anymore and I need to move them pretty quickly so if anyones interested just make me an offer. I accept paypal, cash, etc and I can either ship them overnight or meet you somewhere if your local. Email me at damesta@earthlink.net

If these are a native subspecies of Texas, you DO realize it is illegal for a person to possess more than 6 (unless officially grandfathered in)...and you can NOT legally sell these no matter what! They are "black listed" since 1Sept07.

LOL...FIRST> I said "A person." Each person can possess six. You are correct there. You just didn't read my post correctly or assumed I didn't know the English language very well
SECOND> The law only gave you a limited time to dispose of black listed stock for sale prior to 1Sept07 before that loophole was closed. Once it was closed, there seems to be no "grandfather loophole" for SELLING - just owning more than 6 if properly registered first. You must register them before the closing date - NOT just HAVE them to grandfather their possession. I am pretty sure that date to dispose of surplus stock VIA SALE has passed. I am NOT positive, though, so I just emailed and/or called the correct people in non-game (in Austin HQ) and enforcement (2 different offices). I believe the date has already passed to be able to legally sell them in Texas....regardless of when they were acquired.
If I am incorrect about the final date, I will post it here for you! Of course, feel free to contact the Houston Dispatch office directly with your questions. I can provide the number for you if you would like. I used to work with them.

If you are not sure if there is a final sale date, perhaps you should research or have you done so already?
I saw this ad in the local Houston Craigslist, is it yours and are you now certain the sale is legal?

You just didn't ask the correct questions. Read all of the laws - not just the ones you find on forums. I obtained the section that applies to the sale of stock possessed prior to 1Sept07.
(1) The holder of a permit issued under this subchapter who is in lawful
possession of nongame wildlife prior to the effective date of this
section who would be in violation of this subchapter after the effective
date of this section by continuing to possess the nongame wildlife for
commercial activity must sell, donate, or otherwise dispose of the
nongame wildlife by May 1, 2008.
NOTICE: You have until 1May08. I thought it was 1Mar08, so I was WRONG on the actual date having passed. I wasn't wrong on the limited window, though. In other words, sell these prior to 1May08, or you'll be breaking state and/or federal law (as I originally stated) depending o n the location of the recipient.
Repeat: The date has NOT passed, but it is quickly approaching.
