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.

Exotic anoles in Florida
Anyone ever see any wild Crested anoles in Florida? From what I've read their distribution seems to be limited to the Dade Co. area. Anyone see them anyother places?

I've seen crested anoles all over South Florida. Broward County and Dade County. Also, there are lots of Knight Anoles as well.

There are all sorts of anoles in South Flordia. There's a subdivision thats not far from Tropical Park in the industiral part of Miami, I think its off Sunset and another road, that has Jamaican Giant Anoles. They're the most exotic I've seen down there, and I only saw them in that one neighborhood. Knight Anoles, aka bahamian lizards by the locals, are all over south Florida. So are the basilisks and I've seen ameiva's down there as well. Have not seen a green basilisk though. Iguanas are widespread as well, the one lake in Tropical park is loaded with them. I hear that if you go herpin' near Miami International Airport that you can find just about damn near anything. Apprently alot of herps escape from the airport and then take up residence there.
