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.

Snake Farm...
I also recommend visiting Snake Farm. John has worked hard to keep it up and has a large variety of herps on display. He has been keeping crocodilians since I've known him (late 70's). Yea, I'm an old timer!

total agreement
i must agree with randy....i've been in san antonio for several years and have brought my boys to the snake farm on several ocassions and it has always been an enjoyment...it is a wonderful place to allow visitors to get an up-close and personal viewing of some very healthy and exotic snakes that would, otherwise, be inaccesible to most people...
i am also about to start a new thread regarding my eyeless scrub python and update some folks as to the results of my observations over the past 3 months or so, just for those who are interested...

I've been a yearly visitor to the snake farm there as well.
But last time I was there , I saw a disturbing site back in the section where the books and other various nic-naks were for sale.
The in ground rattlesnake "pit" back there is a disturbing site.
There were about 20 snakes in there ( I estimate) C.atrox, some coachwhips, some texas rats, and a emoryi or two.
I saw no standing water to drink, most of the snakes were very very very thin (like they havent eaten in many months)
Well..there was one larger coachwhip who was probably feeding on smaller pit-mates that looked pretty robust
But he was the only one I noticed that didnt appear to be malnourished.
I sat and looked into this "pit" For about 15 minutes and had to leave.
It was depressing.
This was just a few months ago (mid summer)
While the place has always been a "Must stop and see" in between DFW and San Antonio for me.
The last trip totally turned me off.
Yes, there are lots of neat animals there to see and get up close to, but I dont feel there is any real excuse to house animals that way.
I felt like i'd just been to a rattlesnake round up.
Just my .02.
Also, interestingly, there was a DOR ball python on the access road outside the place as well.

to nathan
nathan...before you start mouthing of about me being greedy and money hungry, go look at the last post on the thread about glendon mcdonalds ethics......where i clearly state that the snake is not going to be bred.....read and research before you speak son.......
if i were money hungry the snake would have already been sold months ago for far more than i paid....
