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.

Clay Davenport	Water Moccasin Bites Florida Owner of Zoological Imports KENDALL, Fla. -- A 20-year bite-free streak came to a painful end today when a cotton mouth water moccasin latched onto a man who makes his living working with snakes. The 48-year-old owner of Zoological Imports was rushed to Kendall Regional Medical Center after the water moccasin sank its fangs into him. The snake is one of the most venomous in Florida. The handler says he was trying to bag the reptile when it bit him on the hand, which quickly started to swell. "That snake can actually kill somebody," said Al Cruz of Miami-Dade County Fire Rescue. The victim was given some antivenin and is expected to recover. Cruz warned that snakebites are most common this time of year, so you are advised to be careful around high-grass areas. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Click10.com http://www.click10.com/mia/news/stor...31-140323.html
