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.

DHL no longer shipping herps
I do not know if this has been posted yet since the search funtion has 4 letter minimum. But I just got a call from my DHL rep. She got a memo today stating what live animals DHL will now accept. She emailed the policy maker and confirmed that DHL will no longer ship snakes OR lizards. The only herps they will ship are turtles and amphibians. Venomous insects and arachnids are also prohibited.

With as bad as their delivery history is on live animals it would be even better if they would not take any or if people would just stop shipping with them. They suck.

The USPS is lacking uniformity and always has, your location may have stopped allowing you to ship them or the local carriers that get the packages to different airports may not be allowing it anymore. It is hit and miss with them.
As for DHL... we have been through this before with them remember? It was known as Airborne Express before. They merged with DHL and decided that AE's reputation for being a 1/2 ass delivery company would change simply by adopting the DHL name. Thats kinda funny when you have the same under-paid delivery drivers literally throwing around packages... maybe thats where they should start to make a change for the better.

According to the Post Master General a very large merger is being proposed. USPS has all of their packages transported to/from the airports by FedEx. If the proposal goes through DHL, UPS, USPS and FedEx will all be available at the same shipping locations. I do believe this to be a real proposal because it would completely explain all of the changes in shipping companies happening at the same time. It sounds like a great idea but I can also forsee that it's going to be confusing as hell.

DHL is very high priced to send things anyway.
