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.

The Best Story....... EVER
My brother and I own Prehistoric Pets in Chino or reptileguru.com. On Feb. 4th my brothers’ wife gave birth to twin girls. I spent about 5 hours at the hospital and it was a great day. I get to work at 4:30 and about an hour later four guys come into my store and are asking about our green tree python on the counter. Now I’ve been in this business for 6 years and I can usually spot a thief right away. These guys were acting strange and I had a really bad feeling. So for some reason and I never do this, I write down their license plate number. They leave the store and I check all the merchandise, everything is there so I throw away the paper with the license plate number. At 1am I get a call that there is a glass break at my store. I hall ass to the store and the police are already inside guns drawn. I look through the window and guess what’s missing? The entire green tree python cage and four blue dart frogs and their cage. Now I’m pissed, and not only did these pieces of S### break my windows, which aren’t cheep, they stole two nice cages and my reptiles. I tell the cops I know who did this and start digging through a 55 gallon trash can for the paper with the license number. Finally I find it and give the plate number to the cops. I sit there with my brother and girlfriend till 4 am waiting for someone to board up my windows when my cell phone rings. Its cops and they tell me that they went to the house that the plate number was registered to and found my reptiles. That was the greatest feeling ever, these pieces of s### broke into my store, hid their faces from the cameras and still got caught because I got a FEELING and wrote down their license plate number. They were 19 years old and they are going to jail for felony burglary. Justice Served

Nice when that happens ! Had a similar experience in a store about a decade ago...two guys scoping out the macaws...and wouldn't you know it, a 3 a.m. wake up call from the security company...these yahoos were on video though, and did get caught shortly thereafter. Glad to hear you came out ok, and the cops caught the sorry s.o.b.'s !!!

I had a very similar situation about 8 years ago, on my Birthday...LOL. Seems like the theives know how to hit on "good days"...LOL.
They cut a hole in my wall and took everything. I had a suspect and turned him into the cops. THEY CALLED AND ASKED HIM IF HE HAD MY ANIMALS. Needless to say my story didnt turn out as nicely as yours. Gotta hate the theives man..lol.
