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.

Colombian vs Columbian Boas
I hope that everyone will take this in the spirit with which it is intended.
I am forever seeing ads and forum posts regarding Columbian boas.
Just to set the record straight, there is no such thing as a Columbian boa.
Columbia with a U is a city in South Carolina in the United States and to the best of my knowledge, there are no indigenous boas there.
On the other hand, Colombia with an O is a country in South America which is the origin of many of the commonly kept boas in the United States today.
This is a very common mistake, one of which I am guilty of myself. Someone was kind enough to point out the error to me several years ago and I am now hoping to return the favor by passing it on.
Thanks,
|

Now you tell me. I spent 6 weeks in South Carolina last year looking for redtails. No wonder I didn't find any

Mark,
It's just like those people in Colombia looking for Cal Kings in Cali.
One little letter and you miss the boat.
Thanks for the chuckle, of course now I have to clean my drink off of the computer screen.

I think there might be a benefit from having another pass through the "new post" filter.

Lets keep it going...
Is it Surinam or Suriname?
Hog or Hogg?
Guyanan or Guyanese?
And what the heck is a C.A. redtail boa? 
The classifieds crack me up.
