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.

SOUND OFF!!! Ever have something REALLY bugging you and nowhere to vent about it? Well, this is the place. It does not have to be fauna oriented at all! Get it off your chest right here. |

The HOA has rendered their "verdict."
They cited two seperate articles in the bylaws that they allege we're violating.
One states that no additional dwellings can be added to a residence (ie: worksheds, detached garages, etc.)
Our animals are in the attached garage, no structures have been added.
The other is under "Nuisances"
No obnoxious or offensive trade or activity to become an annoyance or nuisance to the neighborhood.
The only thing that could be construde as a nuisance is the continuous complaining this old woman did to get us out of here, and according to their judgement, it must have worked.
They also state that we sell snakes on our website and held a yard sale specifically to sell the snakes.
The yard sale was to sell books and kids toys. Normal yard sale stuff. No one could access the garage without permission. And I have not ever, do not now, or will ever sell any reptiles on my website.
They have to be removed by Friday, September 29th. (Lucky for us, Friday the 29th doesn't happen for another 17 years, eh?)
The entire report was a string of lies and, as expected, no one has had the juevos to even ask us anything.
So now have we not only been harassed, we can now include slander.

Huh?? First of all, they must be on some damned good drugs if they don't even realize when their target date is...which doesn't surprise me.
Second-do you still have to remove them, since they have no idea when they have to be removed by??

I have been following this thread and I am completely appalled. This is awful. Is there anyone you can trust your animals with while you're fighting for them? What can you do? Is there anything WE can do?
I am beyond words, I am so sorry, K. I wish you both the best.

Thank you. Its been a nightmare, but we'll get through it. There has been quite a few wonderful folks here that have offered to foster some of our brood until we can get past all of this.
It just amazes me that this amount of discrimination is tolerated in todays society.
Donna - Sorry, my brain cramps are contagious.
Since no one will release any names, we're still assuming its the one woman whos son emailed me. Hopefully the attorney can find out more.

It's great that people are coming together to foster your "kids" if you have to move them!! Hopefully that won't be necessary!!
I'm having a severe attack of CRAFT (Can't Remember A F***ing Thing), hon...you're not contagious!!
I hope the lawyers can pry names out so you have someone you can go after!! And also you know who you have to avoid!!

How can they say your animals are a nuisance since they dont roam the neighborhood.
That would be like saying the old lady down the street having sex in her home is a nuisance
What your doing does not effect anyone in that neighborhood. It is done in the privacy of your own home... and as of now.... keeping snakes is not Illegal.
Personally... Id have your lawyer supena thier records for the name of the old bitty... and Id sue both the HOA and the old bitty. Both animal control AND the NC Fish and Wildlife have sided with you. Your doing everything legal... and both the HOA and this woman is harassing you.
Please tell me you have a document with that date in writing.... you can use that to your advantage.
