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.

Micro Foods Are A Pain!
Well I have some eastern newts. Back a few months ago I was worried about my snakes being illegal to own so I emailed the DA and they told me as long as they are CB then I do not need a permit. However I don't think my newts are CB even though I got them from a pet shop. Kind of weird since I can just go outside and see these guys in my pond. I emailed about them separately but have yet to get an answer. That's a whole nother can of worms I'll deal with later...
Anyway all that was a bit off topic. Just felt I needed to explain a little so I didn't get jumped all over.
My dear little newts have laid eggs which from what I've read is a little hard to get captive eastern newts to do. Mine didn't lay but 7 eggs. Normally they lay a hundred or more. Two of the eggs were duds and four babies actually hatched. However one baby died by the next day. The other three are thriving! I'm very happy but boy are raising micro foods a pain in the rear! I mean once you get them started they are pretty much easy. They do all the work. Right now I have microworms and vinegar eels. My next step I think will be daphnia and then on to chopped blackworms. I'm hoping to get these guys to accept hand feeding like their parents eventually (fingers crossed).
The thing that makes the micro foods a pain is that once my little newts are on the next stage of food I will no longer need the last stage of food and I'm rather stuck as to what in the world I'm going to do with all this live micro food. I don't have any friends that breed fish or anything. I might make an add on here eventually to just give it away. Though people would probably think I'm trying to scam. I mean who gives stuff away for free? LOL! I could keep the cultures going and if all is well permit wise I could have food for if my newts give me more eggs. Or I could just not make new cultures and let the old ones dry up and die. But I kind of feel like that would be a waste considering the money that went into raising them.
Well that was my little rant and thanks for reading if you did!

Oops
It was acutally the DNR that I talked to about permits. Not the DA.
