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.

Exactly, I don't get this thread really.
Choose a number:
1. Have numerous reptiles, but have to get each individual one micro-chipped.
2. Not be allowed to have any reptiles at all.
Im going number 1 all day.

it seems as though the propaganda is coming at us from both sides now. if we dont give in if we dont allow some laws if we dont give some money if we dont do this and dont do that we will loose everything. thats not necessarily the case.

*HEAD DESK* That shouldn't matter. Would you please come down off your high-horse and listen to what people are saying. If there is a ban, you will have no hatchlings to worry about and your investment to date will be null and void. I really don't know how else to put it.
Would you rather continuing having your animals and conducting your breeding operations and selling offspring, even with some added overhead, or are you willing to broach no compromise, see a ban enacted and have nothing to breed and no reason to breed them if you did?

this whole thing has been off track from the beginning. i asked if usark over stepped its rights by writing up proposed legislation to offer up to states without consulting the hobbyist in those states they would have it enacted

And if efforts to stop legislation are successful, the compromise legislation is not pushed.
Really. I don't understand why you can't see that proposed model legislation from USARK is used as a last ditch effort to prevent outright bans and for no other purpose.
You are fussing about the "4th and goal, time running out and down by a touchdown" play at, essentially, half-time.

why do you not understand that there are more options than some laws or a ban. and clearly your not planning on producing much. nobody on here is or most likely you would be mad about his issue.

No, they did not overstep their rights. Proposing codifying best practices in lieu of a ban is simply a part of protecting your rights. As far as chipping goes, everything I have read says it is safe and it makes folks more comfortable and more apt to go along with a more reasonable approach. It is a small price to pay.
From this thread and that on Facebook, I have very little hope that you will see that, but I have answered your question.
