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.

contrasts
When I was that age, my dad would have had a kinipshion FIT about the hair, AND the snake! Now days, I'll bet you have way less hair, and mine is almost to my ass. HA! And now I spend most of my time playing with snakes! Go figure. Imagine what my life might be if he'd let me do my own thing. Or what yours might have turned out like if your dad had been like mine. Parents,...let your kids do their own thing now! They'll just end up doing it later in life anyway. But at least they won't have to spend their first fourty years doing something other than what they love. And they can go ahead and pursue happiness at an early age, instead of waiting till theyr'e old and crippled like me.
Anyway, looks like a couple of pretty good kids, and one GREAT snake! Jeff, don't you ever quit! And show us some more pics! Of snakes that is,...not that we don't love you or anything, but, well,...you know.
T.

Gone now!
Yes, I had hair back in the day, but my hairline ran away from my forehead when I started breeding D. couperi ten years after that photo was taken.
Believe it or not, both I and the guy on the left, also named Jeff, were military brats and that photo was taken in front of my parent’s house on Homestead Air Force Base.
We had hair, but we also knew how to say sir, ma’am, please and thank you, and to have the utmost respect for our elders.
I caught the indigo pictured my first week in Homestead and encountered at least one daily, though four per day on a Saturday was common. We actually encountered more D. couperi then Pantherophis!
I have to agree with you regarding parents nurturing their children’s love for nature. The teachings of good stewardship, regarding our natural resources and wildlife, can never begin too early and, as Tony mentioned, they’ll just end up doing it anyhow!
Best regards,
Jeff
