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.

I would love to see the Pet industry as a whole have its own lawyers and Lobbist. Lets face facts and the truth without them we will see our hobby quickly regulated out. The problem as I have said before is that their are just to many factions and people do not seam to grasp the idea that what happens to one animal leads to laws on them all in simple terms.
We have a hobby of people who want to do their thing and be left alone or not wantto get involved in making it better and fighting for what is right. God forbid someone say lets ban all dogs and horses because they kill and injure so many people a year. Can you imagine the AKC and its responce and the call to arms that would fly out. Yet when a ban on reptiles is mentioned the hobbist and bussiness men of the hobby just sit back and dont do a thing. It has frustrated me for a long time.
Yet these are the same people when a ban on guns is mentioned for example will write everyone and their mother get the NRA involved and every hunting club or group around. What makes reptiles so unimportant to people who claim they love them and are passionate about them?
Getting a group togeather would be good but it needs to be on a National level and needs to have the funding to support the lawyers and lobbist that would give it teeth!
