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.

Death is death, slow or otherwise.
Your heart is in the right place, I truly admire what you're doing, but you cant save everything. Do one rescue at a time and don't do another until that one has been rehabilitated and re-homed and you'll really see the difference you're making. For sure you wont feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders.
Please understand that I totally respect what you are doing.

Don't forget the people who in Florida who are collecting Igs and euthanizing them by sticking them in their freezers.
I'm not saying this to be mean or offend you and I agree your heart is in the right place but please don't release anymore captive animals whether they are native or not but especially nonnative species. Florida is having enough problems with irresponsible people releasing non native animals you don't want to add to the problem. As I'm sure your aware of it can cause a lot of damage to the environment, other animals and could also end up being more cruel to the animal if one of the many things mentioned above occur.
I wish you luck in finding him a good home.

I think everyone posting's heart is in the right place, but let's not deter the next person from asking for help. Sometimes emails can come out looking more harsh than intended.
I'm not sure you've read it, but Melissa Kaplan has a great site on just about everything. I'm including a link I got off her site but if you can't get to it, then google her name. Here's the link and good luck!

I'd say the probability is pretty good.
