Even if it was reptile sites, most would still consider it spamming. Personally thats why I have a links section on my forums for people to post about their herp/invert sites or great ones they have found.
That would be a great addition to this forum. A place for members to post links to their websites, photo pages, etc.. as long as it is herp related of course. It would have to be closely moderated to keep the spammers out, but it seems pretty easy to delete unwanted messages.
If our humble leader would like to share his/her thoughts on this
