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.

PRO EXOTICS burning!
Fire broke out early this morning and they don't expect any snakes to survive. Thoughts and prayers to Chad, Robyn and gang. 
(This is the ONE instance I know of when glass aquariums are preferable to racks. All my snakes survived an electrical fire that gutted our house six years ago, but it was before I had any racks.)

They said they don't expect any of the animals to have survived. I hope it's not as bad, but from the pictures, I can't see how anything would survive that.

The is terrible. Our hearts go out to everyone at Pro Exotics. Fire is one of the major things I worry about taking out my kiddos. I know we could get ourselves out, but if a fire happened and I couldn't get to my minions.....that would be a truly heartbreaking day.
I hope they had some survivors.

The fire is out but all of the snakes were lost. I can't even imagine the scale of loss, not just the animals themselves, but the potential they represented. It's truly sickening.

They also mentioned some eggs may have survived, but no telling if they will indeed hatch out.
So sad. Too many animal lives lost
