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.

FL Class III Permit?
I had my FL class III permit to sell reptiles for 2 years a few years ago, then stopped breeding (ball pythons) for the past few years because I was busy trying to finish my degree. I still kept my collection, but I let the permit lapse because I wasn't selling anything any more and the permit is to sell reptiles not own them. Now I'm done with school and have more time to dedicate to my snakes, so I sent in the stuff for my permit last week (this time under a business name, which I registered).
I was just told by someone on another forum that I will have to pay for the years I didn't have the permit in order to get it back. Just wondering if anyone knows if this is true? This seems like an unfair rule...basically that would mean that they can make you pay for a permit for years you didn't even have snakes if you got out of the hobby and back in....although I will pay if I have to since I have to have the permit...
I'm gonna try to get in touch with someone @ FL FWCC today, but in the past I've found that it's not always easy to talk to the right person...
Any input is appreciated.

I agree that seems a bit rediculous, but it wouldn't be the first time there was a stupid law. I kinda doubt its true because they kept sending me renewal notices for my permit during the period of time I didn't need the permit and the paperwork never mentioned paying for more than one year. Besides, if they did that it would essentially mean that once you got the permit you'd have to keep it forever if you thought there was any chance you'd ever sell reptiles in the future. If the permit was to own the snakes and you let it lapse while you still had snakes then tried to renew it I could see how they could say you had to pay for the yrs you missed, but that's not the case here. I will certainly let you know what I find out. Twinky and Olivia are doing great

If you had no need for the Permit, then you don't have to pay for it........All you'll pay for is the year the Permit is valid........
