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.

WOW, just WOW! I guess that takes away any question as to whether or not he would intentionally deceive to make a sale.
The worse part is someone will probably buy them and he will still make his money.

Hopefully, prospective buyers are informed enough to check here and request tons of pictures.

A scammer !
I dont think so, a poor business man, most definitely, not to mention allot of other adjectives including the worth of having a questionable reputation for selling "looks like" . This is not a futures market ! A scarlet letter for Imperial

I would call him a scammer now...I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt at the beginning of this thread, but he never made it right and is now intentionally misrepresenting these animals again. Have to wonder if the extra money he get will for those "cherry head" redfoots is worth his reputation?

Yep. And they're back up for sale, ready to be subjected to the stress of shipping, for the third time in a couple months (not counting the original shipment to the seller).
No disrespect intended to the OP, but it would be nice if these little guys could get settled somewhere soon. Heck, I would buy them, but I refuse to support a shady seller.

I just spent a thousand dollar on a skink from this guy. She was misrepresented as well. I wouldnt have spent so much money if i would have known what she actually looked like.
She's starved. He told me it's because she laid slugs a few weeks ago but still I've never seen a skink this skinny. I really hope she turns around and can make a full recovery, I can see her bones and look how skinny her tail is. Can't believe he thought this was okay. He seems like a nice guy but I'm very disappointed. I spent A LOT of money and was not expecting a starved skink. I'm just very sad for her and I hope she'll be okay.

I hope you can turn her around because she is definitely very thin.
This guy should be ashamed of himself selling and shipping an animal in that state.
Now he truly deserves the scammer and bad guy label, hopefully more will read this thread and avoid doing ANY type of business with this person at all.
Good luck with the skink

I am so sorry he sent you an animal in that condition. It's deplorable that he is doing business like this.
I would recommend you get the skink to the vet, and immediately open a case with paypal. It may also be of benefit to open a thread specific to your transaction, just so your deal isn't buried 11 pages deep, a lot people may not read the whole thread to see you had a bad experience as well.
I really hope she will be alright.
As stated above, hopefully more people will see this. It appears you can't trust anything the seller says.
