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.

Taxes
I will have some animals hatching out this year and I was wondering at what point in sales do I need to claim taxes, and how important it is to file if the sales are low. I am thinking that I'll make about 500 total on all the sales, but hopefully more next year. Any imput or websites about the technicalities of owning a business would be appreciate (although I don't have many animals now I am planning on growing every year).

Legally, any revenue you generate is income and has to be claimed on your taxes. What you do with that information is up to you.
Now you also have the possibility of deductions. If you treat it like any other farming enterprise you can write off feed, caging, and advertisement costs. You can even depreciate the cost of new breeders you purchase if you are so inclined.
Beyond that, you need to have a talk with an actual accountant, or at least a good tax preparer.

Avoid HR Block and go with a trained professional. Those guys are idiots. I paid them $250 last year to take care of my taxes (due to my rental property) and they didn't check a darn receipt to make sure it was ok to right off. If all's they were going to do was punch numbers into a program, I could have done that myself!

So should I be saving receipts from reptile related purchases and keeping track of my sales, or don't bother due to the low amount of money they'll be bringing in?
