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.

Sorry again..Thanks for putting up with me....
Komodo dragon is centerpiece of new show at Shedd Aquarium
CHICAGO A big beast with the ominous name of "Faust" is likely to be the star at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium for most of the next year.
"Faust" is about eight feet long and weighs 130 pounds. He can be bad-tempered, and his mouth is so full of germs that anyone he bites with his razor-sharp teeth will probably develop a life-threatening infection.
The delightful "Faust" is a Komodo dragon, the world's largest species of lizard, and he's the centerpiece of the Shedd's new exhibition, "Lizards and The Komodo King." The show opens Saturday and runs through next February 28th.
The exhibition also features some 60 other lizards from about 30 different species. There are lizards that change color according to their moods, lizards that use their tails as weapons, a lizard without legs, and another one that appears to walk on water.

If I remember right, he is on loan from the Fort Worth Zoo, here is a pic of me helping to hold him down when I was a keeper.
Fairly tame for such a big guy!
