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.

I had someone tell me yesterday that it was illegal for me to have 7 reptiles in my home without a permit and registering them in the state of FL. Is this true? The person that told me was trying to scare me and tell me that I could be fined and such. I have never heard about this at all and was just wondering if it was true.
If anyone knows anything about this please let me know, or post the info here so everyone to see.
It just kind of scared me to have someone tell me I was breaking the law and could get in trouble.
thanks for your time.

Todd, I am in Florida as well as yourself. We have a license to "sell or exhibit" 11 or more classIII reptiles, as we sell and exhibit wildlife on the Internet and at shows. I don't believe you need any sort of licensing if you are only a hobbist, as long as we arn't talking about venomoids here. We have kept various Reptiles and amphibians for years before having a license and never came across any problems, just don't let a 15ft+ Retic out by mistake or anything like that lol. As long as your not using them for exibition or profit I would say no worries. If you are truly concerned give the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commision a call at 1-850-488-6253 or you can write your concerns to F.F.W.C.C. 620 Meridian St. Tallahassee, FL 32399-1600... Take care and Happy Herping!!!

I used to live in FL and I had over 30 reptiles and never even heard that I needed a licnese. Although I was looking at something about permits for different states and I saw something that you do need a permit for certain exotics in FL even if they are not venomous. Like you were saying about the different classes of licenses I believe but am not sure that certain snakes like say an indigo for example require you to have a license to own but like I said I am not sure. You can go under the florida fish and wildlife web page and find all that stuff out real easy though.
