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.

Now, care to comment on your own inconsistencies that Dennis pointed out? Seems you are about as guilty of blowing with the prevailing wind as anyone. To refresh your memory:There is more. I'm sure that you know where to find it.
BTW it's fair to change your mind about things. But hold yourself to the same high standards if you desire credibility.

They do it in the privacy of their own hom Jim not out in public. So know some facts before making assumptions. If they did so in public the soapbox would be out in a second flat but as they don't it isn't public knowledge nor a danger to anyone but themselves. Clear enough or do you want names addresses social security numbers and credit histories of the people referenced in that post along with a note from their mother? I don't agree with it but they are free to do as they wish in the privacy of their own homes.
Now care to try again and end up with pure facts? I welcome it and will keep it on a civil level if you do.

OK Brian. But explain why that is OK. I personally do not think so. Sadly, those people can be doing almost as much harm as if not more than someone handling voids in public. The reasons are that first, someone might photograph them and post it in order to embarrass them (been known to happen) and more importantly they might get bitten and receive a significant envenomation resulting in all kinds of public health attention and perhaps newspaper articles. I can see the opening line -- MAN BIT BY DEADLY PET COBRA or worse -- MAN DIES FROM BITE OF PET COBRA. No one is even going to know that it was his own fault. They're only going to worry that the snake could have gotten loose and bitten them. That's all some nitwit politician needs to help spearhead laws that restrict all of us that feel we are "responsible" from keeping animals that we can safely keep. And I don't mean only hots as you probably understand. All you need to do is look at the proposed legislation in North Carolina to know that this stuff is coming and can affect us all. For those unaware, they want to restrict ownership of ANY snake with the POTENTIAL to get greater than 8 feet. So that would include all common Boas, as they have that potential, scrub pythons, most carpet pythons, even Black-headed pythons as some are (rarely) known to get past 8 feet. So anyone who free hands their hots is risking this for the rest of us. And that is where their "right to privacy" ends in my opinion. And you should speak up against them as I have here, and you should stop the practice yourself.
I gave up keeping hots due to demands of career and then having young children in my house. The only hot reptile that I keep currently is a Gila Monster, but I would like the opportunity in the future, and I'll be just as damned not to speak up about it if it's some asswipe free handing in the privacy of his home or in public.

Hey...while we are waiting on NERD to respond, how about another big named Breeder acting like a fool with a void. I have no idea who's photo this is. It's linked off of ks and has been circulating a few forums drawing similar outrage to this latest NERD thing. It is Pete Kahl though. What is it with the big boa and ball python breeders that makes them think voids are the way be cool? Pete, Kevin...next time ya wanna be cool. Get one of those hood scoop things on your camaro and punch some holes in your mufflers. Leave the vens to those who can actually handle them as is with the respect they deserve.
