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.

If I were more photogenic, I would be mugging for the camera all the time...like you see in so many ads - pics just don't do me justice 
I was between hair in that pic. I'm a longhair at heart, and by nature. And to answer the question about what I DID mean by that comment about the pics not showing my face - while I am not particularly photogenic, and (therefore) am camera shy, I was always rather vain about my hair. No objections at all to being photographed from behind

Holy Monkeys!
That turtle makes you look like one of the Oompa Loompas! How much did that thing weigh?
I'll have to look around for a picture of me... I know there's one on this darn computer somewhere. (I probably better not post it right after y'all have eaten dinner though.  )

I know it wasn't a good hair day (too short, for one thing), but it isn't THAT bad!! And I tend toward pale, NOT ORANGE!
As for the turtle, he was great...weighed in at 94lbs when I sold him. He was very impressive, but I think I liked my big NY snapper better in some ways - it was close to 30 lbs and much more "personable". He definitely reacted differently to me than anybody else. I could even hand feed him. Nothing like touching a f/t rat pup or mouse to the water, and seeing that head coming up...the mouth opening...and then gently closing on the prey item and submerging again.

You're all much too hard on yourselves! I've met several folks from this site over the years, and no one has expressed surprise that *I* am a reptile person, so I think I must fit the mold! Decide for yourselves 
(I'm including a picture of my husband and I while doing our herp show gig, a picture of me and a much prettier girl in a swimming pool, and another where we're doing a demo for some senior citizens who wanted to get over their fear of snakes.)

Fantastic Pictures!!
Well, let me be the first to tell you that outside of the ring (so to speak) I would never guess you to be a reptile gal. Now don't get me wrong, that snake fits in your hand oh so well and you look like you enjoy every minute of it! LOL! This is solely based on the "stereotype" that goes with reptile folks..you know, long hair , tattoos, etc...
To me, you look like you could be a teacher ( and you sure look like you are having fun with those senior citizens!! I bet they loved you!) you have a very studious, intellectual look about you..or perhaps a professional in banking or other type of financial business...
Take it as a compliment!  your daughter is a cutie!
I think a lot of people are hard on themselves and the way they look. I know I am my own worst critic. Someone will say, "Oh you are so pretty" or something like that and I will just be thinking..."Oh, yeah RIGHT! They are just trying to be nice, how sweet of them"...I feel many folks have this distorted view of themselves when they look in the mirror or look at a photo of themselves..something malfunctioning in the human brain..like a mirror in a fun house..what we see is not what other folks see..
Isn't it better to be that way then to have an inflated head and conceited? I think humbleness is a better approach!hmmm.. I don't know...

Terese: the little girl is a cutie pie, but no one would deny that you are a beautiful woman, inside and out.
