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.

Additionally, it appears CB Reptiles is operating under two names, with the other being Tortoisetown.com. Both websites are using identical photographs, including yours, Robert.

The image stealing is apparently a symptom of a much larger problem that may not actually have anything to do with CB Reptiles or Tortoisetown.com. Shutterstock.com has these images, including yours Robert, available for free. People may be thinking these are stock photos and not actual intellectual property. I highly encourage everyone to go to this site and see if they are offering your images for free, then call them to remove the images. Here is a screenshot of Shutterstock offering Robert's available for free.

Again, thank you Vanessa. I have contacted Shutterstock.com also. I'm not sure how this is legal. Shutterstock sells these images in bulk.

Turns out Brian Petruzzi bought 2 male siblings from this sire from me. Brian is the owner of CB Reptiles, unknown to me. He is selling panthers which the pictured male panther is grand sire of. Brian said he thought he asked me if he could use the picture, although he did not. Take home message here is: COMMUNICATION is very important.
I'm still wondering how Shutterstock.com got my picture.

Brian Petruzzi does in fact own CB Reptiles and Tortoise Town.
He is not connected or affiliated with Garden State which happens to also be from Galloway,N.J.

Oh wow, I had no idea that CB Reptile and TortoiseTown were related to each other. 0_0 I'd taken a look at them both a while back, but something kept telling me that there was something off about both of them.
ShutterStock is one of those weird sites where you can upload just about any picture you can imagine and then they are offered up as "free stock images" or premium stock images to buy for websites and the like. I've had to get in touch when an old art picture of mine was stolen and posted on there without me knowing about it. They're pretty good about removing stuff thankfully, so hopefully the same goes for you too Robert.
