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.

Georgia Update
Georgia SB 303 is now in committee. The bottom line is if this thing goes through we will have to pay a licensing fee of $236 once a year (for a collection, not per snake) and microchip any of the listed pythons that obtain a girth of greater than 2 inches.
Anyone have a bad experience with microchips?
If you are from Georgia please contact me.

I have been so focused on the other Bills in the Senate that I had no idea this was going on right up under our noses. I had contacted Jim Marshall and Saxby Chambliss about teh S.373 but had no idea that GA was considering such. I just don't understand when there are so many more dog bites and such and yet they aren't being required to get special licenses and micro chiped. Ewww this makes me so angry.

The Sportsmen's & Animal Owners' Voting Alliance has posted an alert on GA SB 303, the Python Regulation and Licensing bill. The link has information on the bill and what it is going to mean if it is passed! Halfway down the page there is a "click here" to send every Senator on the committee your thoughts. Please be respectful.
Thanks
