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 guess I will be the voice of some dissent. I don't know your situation but what I do know is that there are things in life worth giving up for someone you love. If my wife truly wanted me to give up my boa's and her rationale was legit, then it would take me only a few days to get rid of them.
You have to decide what is more important to you. That's the bottom line. Before I got married I was planning on going into law enforcement with the eventual goal of being on our local SWAT. My wife told me that she would not marry me if I was knocking doors down for a living. I thought it through and even though my heart, even to this day, wants to be the guy on the front line, I don't doubt that I made the right decision. It was worth giving up and her reasoning was legit.
You just have to weigh the options and decide what you love more. I would give up the world to have a wife who loves me the way my wife does. I am a very fortunate man but it still came down to making a choice. I made the right one. I only hope you did too.

Griz, while I understand your point and think it CAN be valid, in this case it isn't so. This is not the only issue he has and while I don't expect him to love my snakes, to be demeaning/verbally abusive is not something I can tolerate. As I said before, the snakes are just a symptom of larger issues and there were several. There were somethings he did that I tried my hardest to help him overcome but he can't or wont and there are things I will not have my daughter subjected to. I love him with all my heart, but I am sure you know that love cannot always conquer all. Not to mention the jealousy issues. He is a good man, but without trust how can you have a relationship. I am not the same person as his ex and no matter how hard I tried, he thinks I will do the same as she did. Aww heck, I really dont want to go into all this- just leave it as love is not always enough.
I lived with my ex husband for years who had the same issue, so I didn't have snakes and kept other animals to a minimum. I always wanted to do rescue and I couldn't before. It is a part of my personality and if that means I loose out on the relationship then so be it. I will not change myself for someone else.

I have heard this at least once at every show I vend, "My wife/husband would kill me if I brought another animal home".
My response is, "you can always get another wife/husband".
