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.

Fiji Sea Snakes on the reefs
Just got back from Kadavu Island in Fiji and thought I'd share these pics of the White Lip Banded Sea Krait.
Although these guys are very venomous, they are so placid we never have any worries swimming right next to them. In the pic with the diver, the snake is hard to see in the bottom left corner.

Beautiful! I've never been fortunate enough to swim with sea snakes. I've heard they're super docile! I really hope to get over to your side of the earth some day. Great idea Lucille, see you there!

Fauna Road trip!
It's a great idea, you should all come....
Yes they are very docile, simply ignore you most of the time and are actually very handlable when they do things like climbing up the engine onto an anchored boat .....
