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.

Looks like you found yourself a juvie Northern water snake. Feed him small feeder guppies or rosy minnows several times a week and he should do fine for you. I don't think Ohio has any laws against keeping unprotected native herps so you should have nothing to worry about.
Enjoy....

Thanks I was pretty sure but not positive.
If you possess a native species, according to state law, you have to license it with the state and pit tag it when it reaches 18 inches long.

I stand corrected on your herp laws my book is out dated. If it was me I would let the kid keep the snake but you do what you think is right

It's my best friends- she is not a snake person. She loves reptiles, enjoys snakes but hates feeding them rats/mice so maybe her son has a chance with this one If it were me, I would keep it. Heck I told her if she finds any more, send it my way.
I personally am against the pit tag law, no problems with license but will NOT pit tag. Terry from Captive Born here in Columbus went to jail over not pit tagging his animals. Personally I think there are better things our government can spend money on than legislation to ban exotics. Right now HB 643 is a big issue here. Ahhh feel soap box coming on, will stop now before I go on a tangent.
http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/b...?ID=126_HB_643 is the link if you are interested in reading up on it. Pythons/boas over 8 feet are on the list.
