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.

Hey, what's for dinner?
That was kind of what this little guy might have been thinking when I found him laying in the middle of the floor of the old reptile building today.
Sorry bub. Day late and a dollar short. Not a pinky mouse in the house.
So I ran him down to the edge of one of the bamboo groves and set him on his way.

I do miss the hatching season. It was always a lot of excitement and always having new things pop out of the eggs. Christmas time in July.
But as for the workload, shipping hassles, retail customer headaches, hired help aggravations, overhead expenses, baby snakes that wouldn't eat, adults thinking that they really could swallow your arm if they just tried hard enough, constant attention to the mouse colony, etc., etc., etc..... Nope, I don't miss all that crap at all. We couldn't find good reliable help in this neck of the woods, and Connie and I just could not continue with the physical demands of the constant work needing to be done. There was just no question that it had to end before it killed us. My getting appendicitis during egg laying season one year was the wake up call for me that it was time.

Yeah, I did burmese and WhiteLipped Pythons and select kingsnakes back in 70's and 80's. It gets to be a chore. I now just have 5 snakes but no breeding.

I chose to cold turkey it. I know Connie does miss her leopard geckos quite a bit, though. She got quite attached to them.
But we decided we just didn't want to be tied down in case we wanted to just hit the road for a month of travelling and sightseeing. Which just hasn't happened yet. Seems that every time we would talk about going somewhere, some natural disaster would befall that area. So we just stopped talking about it to spare the rest of the world from ruin.
