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.

Michigan Venomous Laws
I am trying to compile a reference for MI hot keepers regarding local "exotic" laws. i.e. County, Township, City...
If you have information to contribute, please post it on the "USA State Issues" section, which is all the way at the bottom of the page that lists all the forums; sub-category "Michigan"
I am posting this here because it seems that not too many people are aware of the "USA State Issues" forum. Hopefully I won't incur the wrath of the forum gods for posting this here.

Due to very well publicized irresponsibility on the part of several venomous reptile owners in the state over the past calender year, it is has come to my attention that there are very serious rumblings in the state capitol concerning the authoring and passage of laws to either greatly restrict or prohibit the private citizens of the state from possessing venomous reptiles.
As much as I feel that I should have the right to keep them and as much as I know that I am an experienced and competent handler, I also feel that due to how many people have chosen to own animals that they were not capable of safely keeping and in some instances, jeopardized the life of others, including their families, I have mixed emotions and am starting to feel as though the best thing for the animals as well may be to keep people from keeping them. I have seen more sick and dead venomous snakes in my life then should ever have died mainly from a combination of people buying/selling/owning animals that they are afraid of and not capable of properly caring for combined with a lack of veterinary care as most vets do not work on reptiles and most that will work on reptiles will not work on venomous ones. We even had a death by venomous snake bite in the state a few months ago, which is the first I can recall in decades here.
Perhaps if the state would adopt a permit situation with guidelines that required the potential owner to proove their experience and qualifications and provide references similar to what states like Florida have done, then I could get behind that. But as it stands we can all thank a few thoughtless and careless people for the unfavorable spotlight, piles of negative goverment and media attention as well as the impending loss of more of our liberties.
