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.

I wish them the best of luck. I know them both and I have a snake I purchased from them at a show.

I thought their names were familiar. I wonder if they were at the Tinley park show as I have been there also.
Born in Chicago and raised in the burbs but for the last seven years living small town like cat described I know both ends. I happen to be fortunate that the place I live can barely find someone to run against someone else into any kind of position let alone make laws lol
Anyway, I wish them the best in getting their snakes back. I still find the whole thing a shame.

They were at Tinley, but they weren't vending. They vend at the All Animal Expo, however.

I am tempted to do the same[email the mayor]. Nothing really angers me more than ignorance. Especially ignorant people in power pressing their ignorance on others.

The last thing this hobby needs is uninformed people making blanket laws against these animals.
Mass laws seem to be the most fair, and forgiving regarding the keeping of these animals, so i pointed them to some examples here in mass. Hopefully it will help some. Better for them to have examples than just act without thinking!

I think others should do the same in regards to them passing laws. the more information they have on what everyone else is doing at least. the better their decisions can be.

Great thought!!! SOMETIMES< when presnted with more "reasonable" alternatives to outright ignorant banning, the right people will actually be motivated to do something that's right for a change.

Anyone ever wonder how the local authorities became aware of "illegal" animals on the premises?
