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.

New Jersey state law issues
Quote:
The State of New Jersey has proposed some reasonable rules as minimum standards for humane treatment of livestock in NJ. Some radical animal rights groups have organized a write-in campaign to convince the authorities that the proposed rules should be much more stringent. I call on you to email the State of New Jersey with the message that they have done an admirable job dealing with an emotional issue and that the proposed rules are reasonable and should stand as proposed. As a Floridian I have experienced the power of the animal rights activists with the passage of a constitutional amendments that were driven by emotion and not based on animal husbandry. Your voice of reason is needed to counteract the emotional cries of the animal rights extremists.
Please send your email to< nancy.halpern@ag.state.nj.us> supporting their proposed regulations.
Thanks,
Wayne Hill, Director
National Reptile Breeders Expo

I am considering getting into indigos and cribos (real good offer from someone) but am not sure of thier status in NJ. I know that the eastern indigo is a no-no but what about all the rest. I checked the state web site but it only lists the non-permit required animals not a specific list of whats not allowed and what needs a special permit in order to keep. thanks ahead of time for any help on this.

Ummm...Axolotl have been banned for a while now. It says it quite clearly in the NJ pet shop application form from Fish and Wildlife: http://www.nj.gov/dep/fgw/pdf/xotic_petshop_app.pdf
Granted this information on bans of specific species should be available on exotic hobby permit forms as well but that's not the point. According to Fish and Wildlife, they banned the axolotl and other similar amphibians due to fear that they may interbreed with local native species like the eastern tiger salamander.

Sorry if it seems I was speaking in present tense, I am fully aware it has been quite some time that they banned them.
I was just ranting about it in general, because I want to own one so bad! And I think their reasoning behind the ban is RIDICULOUS.
I think this was the right place to do vent about that? correct me if I am wrong!

Questions on New Jersey
Hi:
I'm a reptile hobbyist living in NYS, and I'm also a science teacher in NYS.
I do some professional development in New Jersey with some teachers. One idea was that I can bring in some of my reptiles for show to middle school classrooms in their ecology and animal units. Its strictly for show and tell, no experimentation.
I assume that I would need a permit?
I will contact NJDEP this week, but wondered if anyone here can give me some insider info.
Annie
