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 wonder if intentionally looking like a clown has anything to do with his history of crimes against children...... what a frickin' loser.
Hopefully, he gets some time behind bars so the hobby and the poor animals don't have to deal with him for a while.

Ft. Pierce man arrested for selling reptiles
As a reputable pet dealer in Fort Pierce, Nick Byers says the case of Ashtyn Rance is a frustrating one.
“You'd think you'd learn your lesson the first time,” Byers says. “There's a right way to do things and a wrong way. And it's really not that hard to do it the right way.”
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says what Rance was doing was not only wrong, it was illegal.
The 31-year-old was arrested Thursday on 12 charges, including 6 counts of possessing prohibited reptiles.
Among them were 3 reticulated pythons, 2 Burmese pythons, and 1 green anaconda. The reptiles all require proper state licensing.
A report shows Rance applied for the permit last year and was denied, but investigators say he went on dealing anyway.
It's not Rance's first run in with the FWC. He's been cited 3 times by the agency and warned 4 other times.
A search of his records revealed that he has a history of capturing, possessing and selling venomous or prohibited reptiles.
The report states Rance says he went as far as Guyana to export some of the animals.
“When people step in and do it the wrong way, it makes the industry as a whole look bad,” Nick says.
“We’re already on the edge of the government wanting to step in and control everything that we do, not allowed to sell this animal or that animal, and it's because of things like this.”
Rance is being held at the jail on a $240,000 bond.

Is this a new arrest?
He was arrested at the beginning of June for the same thing, but his bond was lower.

Good grief. His last arrest netted him 12 misdemeanors.
He apparently thinks he is untouchable.

$240k bond seems a bit excessive for 12 misdemeanors. I guess the judge wanted to send a message.

I wonder when he will be not allowed to vend the reptile shows? It's a bit ridiculous how many times he gets arrested for the same thing.
