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.

Pet Shops Requiring Zoonosis Signature
i noticed that my local mom n pop pet shop, as well as big chains PetSmart and PetCo her in Signal Hill, CA require a form be filled out and signed for anyone buying even a TADPOLE, salamander, newt, lizard, now, as well as mammals.
the form indicates that the buyer has received a brochure about ZOONOSIS and is aware of the dangers of disease transmission from animals to humans and agrees to take preventative caution and holds the seller harmless from any diseases transmitted by the animals they sell.
in previous years, never observed this. it's good they're doing this.
but, is it a nationwide thing now?

I know it's been a requirement at shows I've attended for several years - anybody buying has to be given information about Salmonella.
It's been a long time since I bought anything from a pet store, so I cannot comment on that. (I did a quick search, and saw some state requirements; but don't have the time to dig deeper right now)
Did you try asking at the local shop? They'd probably be happy to tell you .

woops i didnt think to ask, silly me.  just tend to window shop LPS tanks on spare time; and notice buyers being required to sign for tadpoles, turts, etc
one rep was requiring it for FISH but then the manager stepped in and apologized to the buyer that the rep was a newbie and signatures aren't required for fish.
buy yea i'll ask next time if its a local or national thing nowadays. would make sense if its national since businesses are always out to get liabilities waived by their customers/clients.

Some states require this but it may well be a chain policy nationally, as you point out, to mitigate liability.
