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.

"COLLECTOR QUALITY" What does it mean?
I see this phrase in ads sometimes and I'm not sure what it means. Is it just a general adjective to describe a nice critter, or a sales word, or what?
What does 'Collector Quality' mean to you?

I see another sales gimmick.  Clicking on those ads, I don't usually see anything that looks all that special but the words "collector quality" in the title would lead me to believe the animal inside must be a drop dead stunner.

I agree it is a sales tactic. No different then screamer.

Yeah, and it probably means it will cost more than average.

Ideally -
It should mean drop dead gorgeous. Clean beautiful animal exemplifying the very best of it's morph/type/line (whatever). Towels ain't gonna cut it, break out the drool bucket.
Reality -
Marketing lingo. I've opened to many ads where I have a way better looking animal already.
It does give my ego a nice boost when my slithers are hotter though.

I've seen it as nothing but a gimmick. Thinking of what I consider the term to mean, I can't see it feasibly fitting an animal.

Yep, I see it as a gimmick too, right along with "screamer," "stunner," "perfect in every way," etc. If I read any of those in an ad, I usually ignore it.

If I ever decide to let her go, I'll give you first shot at her. 
It's tough trying to find a mate that would compliment her coloring.
