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.

Try being here. they do not allow "live" packages to be shipped at one UPS. Then at another they allow reptiles to be shipped but no snakes. I had argued and said a snake is a reptile!!!!!
These rules at diffrent locations drive me nutts. So needless to say I only ship geckos now  Cause they are reptiles that are not snakes..

The problem is, UPS has written policy which clearly states no snakes, so you were fighting a losing battle. Depending on what you were shipping, you might have had some success with the place that wouldn't take "live" packages...but, if the contents were other than what their policy states is allowed, it wouldn't have been worth the trouble to try.

Question for the experts. You are correct that UPS has a policy which prohibits shipping snakes. Below is a copy/paste from their website.
Given that - how can ShipYourReptiles.com be "UPS Approved" and do this every day? Do they just "assume" that any package shipped through them is a reptile from the approved list (i.e., lizards) and have a "no questions asked" policy?

it is my understanding that shipyourreptiles.com has a contract through ups allowing them to ship snakes.
Its all to problematic for me. I became a certified fedex live animal shipper about 5 months ago and though its a long process i have to say it was a great idea and the price is normally a few dollars less than shipyourreptiles.com once you become certified cause you get a very large discount for becoming certified.
