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.

Rare lizards confiscated in robbery case!
I was on a monitor website earlier today, and found a strikingly amusing article posted.
http://p089.ezboard.com/fvaranuswebf...picID=25.topic
There is the article. I wonder what type of "neon" lizards they are talking about? Are there any neon blue and green gecko's out there?

The link is working for me. It takes me to a forum web site where there is a picture of a newspage inserted with a post.
The story does not occur on the Contra Coastal Times web site though.
Those blue tree and emerald tree monitors are bright. A non-herp person, or anyone accustomed to seeing mainly local, animals that are primarily brown, white, black etc. might consider the monitors "neon" colored.
Someone seems to be having a great good time with us.

Well, I guess we now know how he planned on paying for food and care for them...LOL
Shanti, I did end up staying up late the other night to finish reading that thread. Once I started I couldn't just stop and go too sleep. As you said it was pretty funny and sad too. I just hope it's another joke.

I think both Peter and I look ridiculous in that thread; we fell for it for sure! 
You have no idea how frustrating it was to talk to those two and keep a level head. I felt like a broken record and talking to a 6 year old! Also "Billy's" insistence that I was nothing but a reptile broker just rubbed me the wrong way.

Billy, Bob or what ever his real name is, was just out right rude to you, Stef. I was shocked. I'm sure it's just all a hoax. I can't see anyone with such a nice collection making that dissision. Then this article popping up, it has to be a hoax.
