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.

Field Collecting in Northern Texas
I am in the DFW area and would like to know if there is a good place to see and/or collect herps that would be no more than 4 hours away.
Thanks,
Carin

Carin,
I live just down the road from you. If memory serves correctly, our state changed their laws to be significantly restrictive on collecting a couple of years ago. I don't believe you can own/sell some native species without a permit and most you just can't have at all anymore.

Sorry, I have a little more to add for history. I've never personally collected anywhere, but I know some big name herpers used to travel from their states to Texas to collect before the laws changed. It was a decent source of revenue for our state with hotel, travel expenses, etc. It is unfortunate that some "well meaning" politicians ruined it for so many. If you find out more specifics or anything to the contrary in your research please post because I haven't heard anything in awhile and I can't seem to find it online.
