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.

A quote to remember...
Many people are undoubtedly thinking "It isn't MY state, so why should I get involved?" Or, "Those aren't MY animals at risk, so why should I worry about it?"
To emphasize the point I am trying to make here, this quote by the German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemoller, a concentration camp survivor, comes to mind and deserves repeating:
Quote:
"First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist, so I didn't speak up;
Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew, so I didn't speak up;
Then they came for the trade unionists, but I wasn't a trade unionist, so I didn't speak up;
Then they came for the Catholics, but I wasn't a Catholic, so I didn't speak up;
And then they came for me, and there was nobody left to speak up for me.”

Think about this, please.

Another great quote, from the movie Primal Fear, Richard Gere says in the opening narration:
"If you want justice go to a whore house. If you want to get fuc*ed go to a courtroom."

Even if it is your state, (I am in Ohio) I didn't pay close attention because they kept assuring us reptiles would not be included. I came in late, but fortunately was able to get some of the crocodilian caging rules mitigated. We ALL must be ALWAYS vigilant/

I am glad that some people realize this. I am in Ct. and they are trying to ban Boas and berms. If that goes through balls and king snakes milk snakes will all be next. We need to stand together no matter what reptile we have. We need to support ALL states.

And CT is already bad about the laws they have on the books. they ignored repeated requests from me regarding an import permit for an educational program. If they can't administer what is already on the books, how will they administer new laws properly?
