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.

Looky What I Found!
Well Today, I was doing my usual routine "Snake Hunting" when I reached the creek behind my granny's house. So I decided to go up to it and scan the water for frogs, when I seen something that caught my eye. I didn't think anything about it at first...just looked like a leaf with a stick sticking out from under it. Anyways, I decided to see what it was for myself, I took a stick and raked it to the surface to discover it was.....A baby alligator snapper. 
Heres some pics I took of him:

I agree...take it back where you got him and release it. The carpace doesn't look to be 4", so selling it for purposes of anything but educational is illegal.

I don't want to seem like a bad person here...really I don't, so you guys have to look at this situation I'm in....
See, he was in my granny's creek...he does NOT belong there, I don't see where he came from...But anyways, if one of my family members found him they would of killed him!! They kill them for eating the fish. =<
So, I was just trying to do the right thing, by trying to find him a new home to go to. I appologize If I offended anyone, but I think you for your concern. =D

If it's legal for you to collect and sell him then you're doing just fine trying to find him a new home by selling him.
If it's NOT legal for you to collect or sell turtles, whether limits are set by size or species, then you should just take him off your granny's property and try to find him a good safe place to live.
Good luck.

A friend of mine just released an entire clutch of babies near his home, pics here: http://aquaticpredators.com/forums/i...howtopic=19445
He saved the eggs from a field that was being plowed and incubated at home, he released them a few days after they hatched.

I really can't stand ignorant people. Especially people who kill turtles because they eat fish. If the turtles really had a negative effect on the fish population, then there would be no fish. Right???
