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.

The Dubuque Three
We're the couple that were raided back in January. We'd like to thank everyone for their support and e-mails. The Dubuque Three are doing fine. We got them back and they are now living the good life outside the city of Dubuque. Through the legal system, the city of Dubuque gave us the name of the person who lied to them causing the January 3 raid on our home. The city of Dubuque stated it was James Stelpflug of SW Wisconsin Reptiles, Dickeyville, WI. Like Rick, we thought he was a friend. He turned on us for no reason and lied to the city officials telling them we had pythons, boa constrictors, and venomous snakes. All of which are illegal in the city of Dubuque. We obviously did not have them or it would have made headlines. It's true that you can't trust some people, but at the same time there are good people that backed us and stood beside us to no end.

That was such BS....We promoted and emailed your major, from our website and Yahoo group.
Tim Cole informed us of this horrible situation. I am so glad to hear things are O.K
You rest bet your bottom Dollar...I will never buy anything from James Stelpflug or SW Wisconsin reptiles.
I think you should have started this thread with James Stelpflug, SW Wisconsin reptiles-liar.

I'm very glad to hear that things turned out at least fairly positive for you guys....I'll never understand for the life of me why people will do such things for what is probably a petty, selfish reason and cause others such heartache.
I think James's name should be put up for all to see as well too.....with friends like that, you don't need enemies. Did he ever give you a reason WHY???
Best of luck to you and your critters.

Why the HELL would someone do that?
Right when you think you've seen rock bottom, someone drills right through it. What a shame.
I'm glad you're doing well, though, and wish the best to you.

I will NEVER buy anything from James Stelpflug of SW Wisconsin Reptiles.
Someone needs to let him know that this thread exists so he can TRY to explain himself..... Though I doubt that he could.
