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.

Limited shipping options
What is it with the big companies. I have tired to order from both LLL and Big Apple Herps... and the only shipping option they offer is the one they default to.
If I needed these in a week... this wouldnt be a problem but I have been approaced by someone that wants me to come relocate some snakes. I am being told they are cottons... but around here... they could easily be just Nerodia. The problem is they have been granted access by the city to fire weapons in the city limits to clear out the "problem".
Im pretty good with a hook.... but I have yet to keep a flighty Nerodia on a hook... and even some cottons have evaded my attempts.
I need to be able to order some tongs and have them shipped overnight... but thus far... I havent found that shipping method as an option from the big box companies.
[/rant]
and my search continues.....

After I posted... I ended up just buying the best out there straight from the manufacturer.
Gentle Giant 52" tongs right from Midwest Tongs... even got the shipping I wanted ... sorta. I ended up opting for 2day cause I wasnt paying $60+ for next day.. when 2 day was only bout 20 bucks.
So instead of two days trying to relocate the snakes... I will be spending one day... unless I go the first day with just my trusty hook and hands.
