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.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

Hi I am from middle Tennessee area, to answer your questions there are several small breeders here, we do not have a reptile show in Tennessee the one held a couple of years ago was a ripoff, there are some in Alabama that are good to go too. Good luck in moving here our weather changes day to day one day we're hot the next cold if that helps any.

I live in Williamson county and the lowest we got this year was single digits, but for the last couple of weeks we have been in the 60's and 70's. Some places to go here is the Nashville zoo, the aquarium in Gatlinburg and Chattanooga. there are several good reptiles places to go also. Dana

We drive down a lot to see my grandparents in Georgia. I really enjoy the drive through Tennessee, it's a very scenic state.
Definitely check out the Aquarium in Chattanooga, I've been to several others like it across the nation (except the Atlanta..yet) and the Tennessee one is still one of the best. And while your there check out Ruby Falls and Rock City.

Depending on what part of Tenn you are looking to move to, there are plenty of reptile shows in Kentucky. Some of my herp friends from KY drove down to Birmingham the other week for a show and had a great time. They will be heading back for another show soon. I only drove down to TN when I had dogs to drop at a transport location, so I didn't get to do a whole lot while I was there. But I liked it, aside from the confusing traffic in Nashville, but I think that was Mapquests fault. But I really liked living in KY while I was down there and wish I had not moved back to NY, but I had no other choice at the time. When school lets back out for the summer though, I may reconsider my living situation. But if you get the chance and are nearby, Morehead KY has a great show. Very clean. It's still pretty new, location wise, but it is growing and the vendors are very friendly. Shelbyville also has alot of the vendors there as well. If you know about where you're moving to and if you want to hit a show, let me know what you are into and I can direct you to some good people. Hopefully this summer I can hit a few shows back in that area. I miss it. Good luck with the move.

that's sounds nice. i have thought about KY, we just wanted to get out of new york and look forward to new things in life and see how it will work out, like jobs. but we are not sure of TN it was just something that we thought about. we really wanted to move to oregon but they have a very high rate of not having jobs opening. thanks for the infos.

Personally I had no trouble finding a job as soon as I got to KY. My ex however did not have such luck. Part of the reason it is now ex. If possible, definitely line up a job before you get there. Other than that it was a great change from NY. Everyone is very friendly and there is plenty to do despite what alot of people think about being in that area coming from NY. The traffic was much easier to deal with, very predictable, unlike NY traffic. Just about any given weekend I could find a reptile show within a few hours so I kept plenty busy.
