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.

Ohio eastern box turtle permit process
Came into control of an eastern box turtle that was in terrible condition in Ohio. Adult male that was lethargic with no appetite. Weighted 200g. Long story how I came into possession but was captive breed or long term captive was suppose to be a 3 toe box. After a long month of care turtle now weights 450g. Knowing that this species was on the species of concern list in Ohio I contacted Ohio wildlife officer and filed a permit to keep turtle. Ohio wildlife officer came to my home to check enclosure and discuss what to do next. He thanked me for my concern and contacting them. He asked if I had proof of ownership in which I did not. He told me he would have to discuss with his supervisor and get back to me within a week. He also asked if I would have any problem giving to a sanctuary if it came to that. I assured him I would do whatever he decides. Had great experience with Ohio wildlife. Not sure what will happen but I do know a great happy eastern box turtle has been saved.
