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.

Catch 22...
On one hand, they should be turned in to the local Law Enforcement for cruelty issues. On the other hand, the publicity may put a black eye on the herp community. I would try to locate either a herp society, reptile rehabber, or a rescue facility in good standing to assist with this to reduce the bad image if this is made public with charges filed. If a reptile based organization assist with this, it would look better for us as a herp community. Talk to the DA's office also to make sure they are willing to pursue this and prosecute.
If you get no cooperation from law enforcement, contact the media. Make sure you are ready and able to assist with the wellfare of these animals so they are not put down by local SPCA or Humane Society that are not equipped to deal with this. Have cages ready and notify a good reptile vet since exams are necessary and required for cruelty seizures.
I have assisted with several of these and have instigated one seizure.
It's a tough call and a lot of work.
Good luck,

Crystal,
You also need to post your name at the end of each post. Setting up a signature line is the easiest way to do this.
