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've heard of them, they're pretty active in our area as a youth group teaching agriculture and farm animal care. My suggestion to you would be to look up their web site for contact information, and verify that the person in contact with you is in fact affiliated with them before doing business. Is this person trying to buy or sell? And what? Is it for the organization? I've never heard of them dealing with herps, but that doesn't mean they don't. Any more information would be helpful.

That's their main web address. If you know the city or county that she claims to be with, you can do a search for that locality and get their individual web site. What is she purchasing these animals for? Is she trying to get a discount, saying they're for the organization? If so, I'd definately do some homework before selling her at a reduced price.

There are a LOT of smaller 4H groups that don't have websites or anything like that. There can be many "leaders" in every county, and some are group leaders, and some are county "project leaders". I was the dog project leader in my county for many years.

*scratches head*
I'm curious why this was brought to the BOI.
4-H is like the girl/boy scouts.

It seems he wasn't familiar with the organization. And in a way, it's good he did look into this, especially if they were looking into discounted animals (which he hasn't answered that question yet). It's sad to say, but people could easily pose as someone from any group to get this kind of deal, and be no way affiliated with the organization they claim to be buying for. If the buyer is just paying regular price, maybe looking into it was a bit much. Maybe I'm just paranoid. Remember what's-his-face a few weeks back, collecting morphs for his rehab kids to breed?

4H is not much of a presence in bigger cities.
You find it quite active in rural and farming communities.
It's a generally well respected organization that has no real public problems with how it is seen or what it does.
IF the guy is legit, then it's a good way to help out the community.

You know what's funny about this coming up now? I was just discussing with my mother (whom was a 4-H leader & takes care of the county's Entomology club now) about starting a 4-H Reptile & Amphibian club because none exist & I feel it would benefit the younger generation. I'm currently in the process of negotiations with the head of our area. Keep your fingers crossed for me.  You may see my work in your county 4-H halls!
