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.

Herps Stolen from Pet Bazaar (Florida)
Sort of a downer for my first post, but important anyway. I just saw this story air on local news. Please be cautious purchasing animals matching the description in the news article. There is a video of the suspects caught by store security cameras if you visit the page.
Burglars stole 10 snakes, 2 lizards from Casselberry Pet Bazaar, police say
A pet store owner says 10 snakes and two lizards are missing after two men burglarized his store late Friday night.
Shane Hill, owner of Pet Bazaar in Casselberry, says he has surveillance video that shows two men breaking in through a side window shortly before midnight. The video shows the men combing the store for about 15 minutes and stuffing the snakes and lizards into a large bin.
The list of items stolen include two adult Bearded Dragons, a green male Ghost Ball Python, a Motely Boa, two Spider Ball Pythons, three Striped Kenyan San Boas, a baby Hypo Columbian Boa, a Red Blood Python and a Lesser Ball Python.
Hill says the men also ripped his 46-inch flat screen television off of the wall and stole his laptop computer.
"I'm mad," Hill said. "I feel victimized. I'm a small business, and I don't know why someone would choose me to do this to."
Hill says the snakes that were stolen can sell for hundreds of dollars, and he thinks the men may try to sell them.
He believes the men may keep the lizards as pets.
If you have any information about his crime, call the Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.

The Gastonia, NC theft ("Stolen Snakes", I believe) is a different thread. This theft did occur in Casselberry, FL.
