• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums. PLEASE NOTE: In no instance will this site ask you for this sort of information. The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal. Anything else is coming from a source other than this site. My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

Using vets not listed on Arav website?

My herp vet isn't a member, but I've used him for 15+ years. (Disclaimer: I worked for him for awhile, covering an office maternity leave, but was a client for several years before that.)

Just do your homework; is the vet you want to see actually a herp vet, with Board certification? I would look more at certification and experience, than membership in the association. (I think my vet is too cheap to pay the dues, but is very good at what he does!)
 
There are three exotics specialists near me but only one is on ARAV. Nothing wrong with the other two at all, they're just not listed.
