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.

Hmm..
We forgot one key person that has been at the forefront of herpetoculture, the late Lloyd Lemke. Lloyd was one of the best gents I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, and was around long before many other breeders now popular today.

Terry Lilley is one of the worst things that has ever happened to this industry. Search his name on the BOI and read how many people he has screwed over the years! He is a proven liar and all around person to avoid at all costs!
Lloyd Lemke was a name that should have made this list sooner. He was a pioneer.

Not one of the names on the list have anything to do with my favorite genus, Corallus.
How about Tony Nicoli of Awesome Arboreals, Danny Mendez of Urban Jungels, or the new master of Corallus (to me at leat), Matt Lerer? They have produced some of the most amazing treeboas known in existance and Matt Lerer has produced C. hortulanus this season that just BLOWS MY MIND.
In my opinion the voting list is missing a TON of key figures and is isolated to very few species of reptile breeding.

Wow, I have to agree with Evan and the others. If you were to go back 10-20 years ago you would not have even heard of the majority of those on the list. Yes, they have made a contribution, but they aren't pioneers.
I would like to add 3 people to the ongoing list; Roger Conant, Bill Haast, and Don Hamper.
My vote would go to Carl Kauffeld for his book Snakes: The Keeper and the Kept

Ross Allen, Bill Haast, Raymond Ditmars, Roger Conant.
I read Ross Allen's "Adventures with Reptiles", when I was about 10. I was amazed that there were grownups who were actually interested in reptile research.
These are 4 big "pioneers" in my book. All the breeding and morph stuff came later.
Oops, forgot Klauber.
