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.

U cant remove the snakes from the swamp with out a collections permit. Also to collect ROCs in Florida u must have a Conditional species permit. Ive been talking to the lady about collecting redeared sliders and rehoming out of state and she said I would need to do quite a bit of paper work and setting up enclosures to specs. I'll look for her number when I have more time.

Thats because its not a problem. It's a taxpayer-funded jobs program.

and to think the gov. was supposed to be cutting back spending ....
a friend of mine breeds burms and retics and has had fwc come to his house 3-4 times in the past 2 weeks threatening him with crazy fines . he even has his roc permit and some other papers . but this last time they threatened to take the snakes away is that even legal ?
btw all his snakes have the microchip needed for him to have them also

ROC only allows you to keep your current collection, if you want to breed you must havr a conditional species permit as well as a class 3 permit. Also, if his faculty is not maintained to standards or his caging isn't up to spec they csn confiscate as well.

thats the thing he has probly one of the cleanest reptiole rooms everydays he spends like 4-5 hrs cleaning and making sure everything is right and proper
and he also spends time with animals he has by far one of the most tame retics i have ever seen . and from what i have seen and he has told me has all his permits he needs its just this guy is a straight dick who comes from fwc his name is jeff and at one point he called my friend a jackass for wanting to keep snakes like that and said if he had his way would just kill them all in my honest opinion i think that is really wrong to say
we called up the office in our area and they said if we have no proof there is nothing they can do

The class three permit is strictly for selling reptiles in Florida and has nuthin to do with breeding. Only breeders that have an incorporated business before the July deadline to get an ROC permit (July of 08 or 09, I cant remember) and approved by Jenny Tinnley, can breed and sell ROCs to an out of state buyer. If ur just a hobbyist without an incorporated business and a ROC, u cant breed ur ROCs. So actually the FWC officer is right and can take his ROCS if he see them reproducing, or sees offspring.
