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.

The Federal Lacy Act makes it a felony if you ship a box of reptiles across state lines without labeling the box, as to what species are contained inside. I know two people who have been fined in federal court for shipping unlabled boxes. This is a big problem since Airborne Express and UPS wont ship live snakes without a special permit, so most reptile sellers are putting their snakes in unmarked boxes! Both the shipper and buyer are breaking a heavy duty law. I have been told by the US Fish and Wildlife Service that they are very concerned with amount of people selling reptiles over the web and shipping them illegally in unmarked boxes! In 1981 they ran a successful sting operation buying protected reptiles and lots of people went to jail. I hope this doesnt happen again because over half the shipments going out today are in unmarked boxes! You can call the USFWS at 800-358-2104 and get a coply of the laws. Please be carefull !!
