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.

Excellent Post Chris! I could not have said it any better myself! Neal's morals are very selective at best!

This website was created by Tony, published in "Reptiles Magazine" by Tony, and is completely HIS.... all I did was direct him to where their pictures could be located.... he decided all by himself who should be in it.... it's purely coincidence that all three are the scum of Tampa....
I, also, proofed a lot of the copy that was written, and made numerous changes, which were NOT used.... that's why there are so many grammatical errors in the copy....
Talk to Tony about any of your concerns.... this is HIS baby to deal with.... the only reason I posted it here, is because Tony already put it in "Reptiles Magazine", along with all the pictures you see.... I THOUGHT you guys would be interested in seeing it....

It will prove to be so helpful, that "Reptiles Magazine", has put a whole article right in the front of the new issue (on sale now)....

Anyone else see the hypocrisy here?

Gee Whiz Gila, I just DON'T know what you mean. It's almost as if.... no it couldn't be that, not from neil.
Well.................
Do you REALLY think he might have more than one standard for everyone?
It must just be me because that just WOULDN'T be right. And we ALL know that if gubitz does it, it MUST be right. Right?
I'm soooooooooooo confused.
Help me Gila, help me.

GREAT IDEA TONY
Well done Tony Cueto!
This is a great idea. I hope it works well and brings those steal to some sort of justice.
Maybe the next step will be for online theifs!

... BOI, anyone remember it? Maybe? Anyone?
I still think that calling them criminals prior to conviction is only setting up a libel suit and find it highly suspicious that those three are the only ones listed. There are far more and far more dangerous theives than that crew- where are the warnings?

Nope, didn't forget it, but the BOI isn't the "be all, end all" to this problem. Tony's idea (website) is just another tool in the fight against reptile crims.
And it's a problem that needs a lot of tools. It sure can't hurt!

I agree that although this is a great idea, it is a lawsuit just waiting to happen!
If any one of these people get off on a technicality or plea bargain to a lesser charge, especially one that has nothing to do with reptiles, guess what? I surely would even go so far to say that if this is very public lawyers would be seeking these people out to tell them what they have in the way of lawsuits to those who helped and participated as well.
There are plenty of cases of the suspect, no matter how incriminating the evidence, becomes the "victim" because people were over- zealous in their pursuit of justice.
Great idea, bad timing and wording.

the idea has merit, however
the information that should be posted at this website should be what is generally available through information that has already been provided to the public.
It is not a crime to let people know that someone has been arrested for theft if that is already public knowledge. A followup as to the final disposition should also be made available once the information is made public.
The only value I can see would be if every promotor got involved as well as other outlets such as retail operations, hobbyists, etc. But the criteria has to be a legal arrest for a crime related to Herps. That would be a tough call considering that in most cases people would want their animals back and not peruse the case any longer.
