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 portable devices to register, as they may quite likely utilize an IP address that does not match your actual city and state.
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.
General Herp TalkCan't figure out where to post down in the other discussion forums? Too many options and too complicated? Well post your herp related messages here and to heck with it.
Ah, hadn't seen the second page. Amphiumas are pretty common in some areas, but people generally don't see them. Amphiuma means (two toed) is pretty common, but Amphiuma pholeter (one toed amphiuma) is generally considered rare to uncommon. Amphiumas make nice pets, but generally require a decent sized tank (I personally wouldn't try less than a 30 gallon), or a very large one if more than one are to be kept together. They have a bite (like Karen's stated) that has been compared to that of a snapping turtle. A friend of mine keeps some amphiumas; his friend, who gave him the animals, stated that they had managed to strip a rat that had fallen into the tank bare in a short period of time.
Does it have a keratinized beak? If not, then it is not a Sirenidae. The distribution of the Sirenidae is the coastal plain and Mississippi valley of the southeastern U.S. and extreme northeastern New Mexico.
