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.

General Herp Talk Can't figure out where to post down in the other discussion forums? Too many options and too complicated? Well post your herp related messages here and to heck with it. |

What herps should I get?
Hello everyone, I live in Wichita Kansas and would like to become a very small time reptile breeder. I'm sixteen. I have some beardies, corn snakes and the like but I was wondering what YOU would be interested in if I bred a pair of something more unusual. I want a species that wouldn't take up too much space and is relatively easy to care for. It needs to be in high demand also. So basically, please list some herps that are AWSOMETASTIC that you wish you could have, but are more rare in the reptile trade. I was thinking boas, smaller pyhons, and some lizard species, such as ackies and panther chameleons. You can list amphibs too! Vietnamese mossy frogs and pixie frogs are my favorites. Thanks!

Reptile breeding is for the more experienced folks. I think you should worry about keeping the reptiles until you have a few years experience at least.

If beardies and corns is what you love, invest in good stock and breed them. Check out demand first.
I suggest you pick species that you love to work with.
One lizard I personally find awesome is the shinisaurus, and there is a small but steady demand. But nicely colored beardies might be better to start with.
Mossy frogs have a fair demand, they are pretty awesome as well.
Start out small, get some experience, a couple of years where you can get a better idea of costs, time involved, and learn and earn a good rep as a good honest seller. There are two different sets of skills: how to keep and raise the critters, and how to market and sell.
Good luck!

I'm 15 and I've bred reptiles since I was smaller (usually on accident, sometimes my middle school self thought they'd be cute together 😉 and I've made bank doing so. This is a great area to work in, but definitely make sure you're educated in finances and budgeting first. Initial investments are usually a must, but you could work around them I guess. Good luck.
