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.

I liked the Lizard King. I've ordered this. I understand it is pretty different from the LK.
Looking forward to it.

From what i understand, This book is full of lies and slander. The books is meant to make the reptile industy look bad. Its more of an animal rights activist side of the industy, but with a lot of extra BS inside.

From what you understand? You've read it and then researched the claims made in the book and determined that on your own?

I just finished the book and enjoyed the read. Knowing most of the people in it certainly helped.
She certainly nailed down the personalities of all involved from my perspective.
I knew about most of the scenarios portrayed in the book so I didn't notice anything that was fabricated.
One of our members here...Randall Berry is involved and has a role in the book.
Maybe he can comment.

No, I have heard what Tom Crutchfield has said about it. Appearently he gave jennie smith a lot of his own personal info and she twisted it all around to make people and the hobby look bad.

Well, I'm sure Tom Crutchfield is being objective 
I don't understand people not taking the time to come to their own conclusions and to think for themselves. I also do not understand people that there are bad people in this and most every hobby and profession and hiding that helps no one; certainly not the hobby in question.

And if I do buy and read the book just to find out that what others have said is true, then all I did is support the author by buying the book. I have read several reviews from other reptile sites and herpers to believe what they say.
