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.

Don't forget to include (insert desired descriptor here, if desired) Governor Cuomo in your list of addressees.

I have already been in touch with the sponsoring Assemblywoman's office, and they told me that they were currently working on a revised version of the proposal, and acknowledged the unclear wording of the initial version. I did make clear several strong concerns from NY reptile owners about the current version!
The impression that I received from the conversation was that they are not looking to expand the number of restricted species in NY beyond those already listed, but rather increase the penalties of violations, especially if someone is injured (the horrible chimp attack in CT a couple of years back being the example used).
Several versions of this bill have been introduced since 2009, and none have gone past the initial review of the Agriculture Committee of the state assembly.
I will be very interested to see the revised version, and plan to vigorously lobby the reviewing Agriculture Committee as needed.

I was going to say, aren't all the reptiles listed already banned in New York.
