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.

Interest in large scale feeder lizards?
Ive actually been thinking about a large scale breeding of these lil anoles running around my yard, they arent native and are pretty abundant around here. I know the risks of feeding reptile to reptile cuz of the easy transfer of related illnesses and parasites.
But if I take the time to clean them up and set up a breeding program would anyone be interested in them?
The big ones get to be about 6-8 inches long.
Idk it just a thought I came across while reading another post.
Lemme know ur opinions!

I think that its a good idea... I have seen people at shows selling them for a couple bucks, but I can catch them in the yard... Right now I have a juvi corn that wont eat anything but the anoles, and its a pain in the butt to catch them in the winter
Ill be your customer

I think its a good idea....I keep some Solomon Island Tree Boas that only feed on anoles, so I could use about 10 a month at the moment and they're hard to find here in NY

It would be nice. But id need alot more of a variety of species before I get to rodent pros standards, I know cuz I buy from them!
I have it in the works, I just need a spot to breed and keep insect feeders for them. My mom said some interesting words when I brought the idea up to her. lol

I would check the local laws to make sure first. I know it's illegal in some states to catch and sell local wild animals but I'm not sure about catching, breeding and selling. I think it may be the same though. Not trying to be a prick, just looking out.

Its all good, and these ones arent protected because they are not native. One of the few lizards native to florida is the green anole, or "false chameleon" it can change from bright green to dark brown. And these lil terrorists actually attack and kill this native species. We've been planning an extermination of them in my neighborhood, but then I realized people could actually make use of them and I could make a lil bs money on the side. I have no problem killing an animal that will nurish another, but I cant stand a wasteful genocide. Im glad I thought of this idea before we went "weasel stomping" on them. Like I said earlier im in the works of getting them setup, I just dont want animals I cant feed and I cant run up to the store and get crickets for them daily. So now we wait for me to convince my mom that the crickets wont get out and attack her in her sleep. lol
