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.

Hello from Austin, Texas
Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Russell. I've always been interested in reptiles ever since my mother showed me a little Rough Ground Snake when I was 3 or 4 years old. I've kept reptiles of one sort on another my whole life, (with some reptileless gaps here and there). I currently have a pair of Black Milk Snakes, L.t. gaigeae. The male I bought as an adult of 4 feet and don't know anything about it's origin. The female is a youngster that I purchased a little over a year ago from Fred Bruckman out of Pennsylvania. She was only about a foot long when I got her and still very tri-colored. Now she is about 3 feet long and almost completely black.
I also have a Schneider's Dwarf Caiman, P. trigonatus, that a got from a guy that couldn't keep him. He was 9 months old when I got him and about 15" long. Now, one year eight month later he is a little over three feet long.
I look forward to having some interesting conversations and trading info/ideas with you all. I've attached some photos. The first on is Nina, the juvenile Black taken right after we got her. The second is Onyx, the male Black taken last year. The third is Nina as she looks now and the last one is Jackson taking it easy.
