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.

Petition against dart frog ban in Alberta, Canada
If you have a moment, please take a look and sign:
https://www.change.org/p/government-of-alberta-reverse-the-sudden-painted-frog-ban-in-alberta
Quote:
The Government of Alberta has deemed Painted Frogs to be a danger to the population. Captive Painted Frogs carry NO toxins to do any harm. Wild frogs ingest a specific mix of wild insects that carry the ability to potentially make them poisonous. In captivity there is no way to easily recreate the blend required to create a dangerous frog.
Fish and Wildlife has released a letter stating that anyone in possession of Painted Frogs has until April 30th 2015 to move their animals out of province, to a permitted facility (such as a Zoo), or risk seizure and potentially fines.
There are a large number of these animals in Alberta, primarily as pets. Animal owners are being stripped of their legally kept pets, and told to send them out of province. This has been done with:
- No grandfathering permits to individuals currently in possession of these frogs
- No consultation to local breeders
- No consultation to pet stores
- No notification to the general public (apart from an update to the list of animals not permitted to own in Alberta)
- No consultation with biologists or the scientific community
- No consultation to the local permitted facilities (Zoos etc) that will be taking in thousands of animals
57% of Canadian households own one or more pets.....this is not just limited to painted frogs. These changes can be made in the same way with ANY critter....will yours be next?
We are calling on the government to reverse the sudden ban on these amazing creatures. We are also trying to ensure transparent decision making for future law changes of this sort, with the government reaching out to local organizations, biologists, hobbyists, and passionate pet owners prior to sudden flawed decisions on banning pets currently in Alberta.
