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.

Herps In The News Local or national articles where reptiles or amphibians have made it into the news media. Please cite sources.

Glenn Bartley	Alligators & New York City Sewers - the legend starter... This past Saturday, The Long Island (NY) Newsday had an interseting look back in history in a section called "It Happened In New York". If you ever wanted to know where the legend of Alligators being found in the New York City sewer system was started click on the follwoing links. The first one is the Newsday piece, and the second one is allegedly a verbatim reproduction of a NY Times article dated February 10, 1935. Makes you wonder if it really happened - maybe...... Newsday Article NY TIMES Article Fun reading. Anybody know any of the guys mentioned in the Times article? They would be in their mid to late eighties if they are still alive. It would be interesting to talk to one of them to find out if it was a hoax or the real McCoy. Best reagrds, Glenn B
