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.

I put the name of my vets office and the only vet that does frogs is out of town. As soon as he gets back Im going to see him. I asked if there was any other vet in their office that could please see me and they said No! This has all been stated before and people have called the vet to verify what I'm saying!

Shiari researched vets local vets and found one that takes amphibians. The name is Scott Medlin, in case you missed that post. Why not take the frog to him?

Really Keven? Because Google maps says they're about 17 minutes drive from each other. If you can drive to the one, you can reasonably drive to the other.

Even if it is an hour away, that is not so far to save a life!
It's clear that you are stalling hoping that those frogs die so you don't have to see a vet.
If you are going to take in rescues and imports you should have a basic understanding about how to treat the simplest problems that arise not pass them off to unsuspecting customers.

You have said that you have a son at home who needs care. Putting aside the fact that you have lied in the past, and assuming that this is true, I can see that extended road trips may be difficult.
But it seems to me that your choosing to have an extensive collection of reptiles and amphibians is for you, for now, an unethical choice. You KNOW that your critters may need vet care from time to time, and it appears that you have not established a care fund whereby you could hire someone to take these sick frogs to the vet.
So it appears that these animals must suffer greatly should they become ill. To flip these animals for profit but not take care of them when they need care is simply using these live creatures for money.
To me there is a cognitive dissonance when on the one hand you claim to tenderly care for your son, and setting up your collection so that animals that become sick must suffer horribly for extended periods of time.

Omg my vet is out of town on vacation! He is normally here. Doesn't mean my reptiles are always suffering. I pray to God I don't ever treat another human being the way you have treated me! I've never seen a site that totally berates another member the way this does! Someone will end up committing suicide over this site one day mark my words. Have you ever read the lives destroyed off of this site. It's disgusting! I'm sure you will have some smart ass comments to say about this post so go ahead. Tear me down some more. Make yourselves feel better!

Keven, you're overreacting. We get that your vet is out of town, but other members have done your research for you, and found a clinic not too far from you.
The majority of people commenting here, are doing so in a calm, rational manner, and only want to see your animals get the care they deserve.
If "lives are destroyed", or someone commits suicide "because of this site", then they had very serious problems to begin with. Websites don't ruin lives; people do.
I'm sorry if you feel that you're being "bullied". People are calling you out on inconsistencies in your posts. That's called holding you accountable for the things you're saying, not bullying.
Please get medical care for those animals, or as others have suggested, perhaps this is not the right hobby for you.
