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.

Delta no longer shipping venomous!! NO APRIL FOOLS
I saw a post that Delta is no longer shipping venomous snakes. I called my local counter and yes it is true. They are no longer accepting venomous because of employee liability. This could effectively shut down the entire venomous industry. Please respond as this could easily affect the non-ven industry soon. Please post any info. I wish this was a joke, but, IT IS NOT. Call your Delta counter.

Please let this be a joke....
If not, then this is a terrible situation for the industry. Everyone needs to know what other possible options may be available. If nothing else, all of you venomous folks should get together and see if you can agree on one major carrier, if one is available, and as soon as you can get together and provide them with loads of business, see if they'll agree to attempt cornering the market for all snakes sent by air freight. Convince others who ship with Delta that this is a sign of things to come and show that one carrier is willing to work with them.
Just my thoughts, but better to jump on it immediately than to wait and have absolutely no direction later.
David (who's looking at getting into venomous in the next 5 years after more experience.)

The Whole Poop
Got the whole deal on the Delta jokers. The regional manager got a bug somewhere unmentionable and banned all reptle shipments in this whole district (south west area NM, TX,AZ,CO). The BIG office is taking care of this "overzealousness" of their district manager as he WAY exceded his authority. This is not the only district affected so call your local counter, so these yahoos will get the message. This has a big impact on my business and NW might not be an option as the people are not in touch with their own policies. I am also located in a bad spot for airlines and Delta ,so far, is my only option.
Remember folks this is how things start, without us knowing one person exceded his authority and could have started an avalanche of knee-jerk responses. Please call your local counters and make sure this putz didn't affect you.

They still ship venomous for us, but inspect each box first.
