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.

Hey, Vinny,
If you were referring to my comment about how you walked before the accident, that was meant as a joke (I just noticed that I didn't include a LOL, so I'm sorry if you took it as an insult or jab). I also stated that a minor pelvic fracture wouldn't lay you up for too long. As for the lumbar fractures, even minor vertebral fractures are something of a big deal...if for no other reason than what can happen if they are stressed. You mentioned bending over and turning/twisting as being the things that hurt - personally, I am surprised that you weren't told not to do those things...I guess I would have expected some sort of brace to immobilize/stabilize your lower back. Orthopedics may not be my specialty, but I am exposed to it regularly. I understand that you felt attacked, but be more careful about throwing comments around about who doesn't know what...you don't know who is out here (healthcare professionals keep reptiles, too).
Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better

thanks hhmoore. yes i thought you saying about how i walked was a jab. but you cleared that up now. everybody that i told what happened to me said the same thing about no brace or anything. so i try not to move my back as much as possible. which for some 1 like me that is always doing something it's kind of hard. but im trying, and im feeling a little better. im sorry for the comment about you guys not knowing about injuries. but like i said im on some fairly good pain killers which i think makes me do more than i should lol but it's not really funny. thank you for your concern. thanks again

Be careful, that's how injuries get made worse - sometimes pain is a good thing...it stops us.

Hey Vinny......What's going to keep you from handling hots again? You have been bit twice in a relatively short amount of time.
I think your behavior is totally irresponsible and "teaching" other herpers of the dangers of venomous reptiles should not be your responsibility just because you have been bitten twice.....
Your whole situation isn't too cool to all the responsible folks that work hard at keeping their hot populations safe.
with all the legislation going on.......all someone has to do is type and click away to find your unbelievably shameful story.....
