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.

Shipping question I hope this goes here
I am moving and have to sell my large pair of blackthroat monitors.The female is well over 5 foot and the male is at 3 anda half.I ahve been trying to sell locally and lowered my price considerably(only asking $300.00 for them and cages) because I cant imagie how to ship them.I am in PA in the country and cant imagin what someone at FedEx or anywhere would say about shipping them.I havent had the greatest response here and I have to find them a new home.How would I ship them as far as heat packs and boxing?The female can break plexiglass with her tail so I dont know what to use to hold her.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

You'd have to build yourself some sort of wooden crate, I can't think of anything else that could safely hold somthing that big. Shipping you'd probably have to do Delta, I don't htink fedex or ups would take something that big.
Do you know of any shows in your area? Maybe you could get a table, take the monitors and their cage and sell them there. The price of the table would likely be less than building a crate and shipping it.

Shipping suggestions
You can build a wooden crate reasonably cost effective and strong. We would use the following: 1/4-1/2" plywood or panel. 2 pieces 18"x30-36" Use 1x4 or 1x6 for the sides. Screw the sides and bottom panel together.Do not use nails, they can vibrate or work lose. Screws about 4" apart from panel to 1x's. (Drywall self tappers) Make sure you have airholes or slats cut in the 1x sides. Place the animals in a DOUBLE bag. insert into the box. Insert heat packs and packing material. (May need styro sides and heat packs if very cold) Screw down lid and mark box as to contents and destination. Sounds like a lot of work but it takes about 20-30 minutes for the whole procedure.
