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.

Glad to see they took everyone's posts and improved themselves and didn't throw a hissy fit like a lot of people would have done! I'm sure there are still some issues they may need to clear up but they are on the right track! You go GE!

I was impressed with the way he handled the situation after it was brought here, and also, when I saw the changes had been made, as per my request.
I'm with Kevin though, things are still a little iffy.
One thing is - I'm glad I was refunded the full amount, and not charged for the one frog that was still alive, because not very long after this was all settled, the little guy passed. Not sure what the problem was at all - he was still in QT, of course, he didn't seem lethargic, acted normal, was eating pretty well, and I was treating him with metronidazole, but he didn't make it. It was upsetting, but not the end of the world. I knew the animal was WC and the problems that can come with being WC. But at least when I went to a Repticon show on July 4, I got a CB to got with my group. There was only one vendor there with them, and they were unsexed. I picked one that looked male-ish. Turns out, I was right! I put him in QT, and by night fall, I actually saw him call. He did it while I was misting him. But now, he's with my group, and giving my other males a run for their money!
But anyway, yeah, I saw this thread up again, and didn't want to update just to tell all you guys that the last frog died, but I since it was updated anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know. But Eric really appears like he's trying to do right, he just has a little more ways to go - but I think he does care.

I still don't understand how they don't have pictures on 25% of their animals they are selling, which is ridiculous on their part, they expect people to buy animals from them with no pictures. I could never do that.

Yes - that's why purchasing from the in the first place was a stupid mistake. Lesson learned! I am much more informed about this kind of stuff than I was before I found Fauna. And I was oblivious as to how much people get scammed in the hobby. I no longer buy anything from anyone until I've checked them out here and other places. And no more "representative photo" for me!

While it is good that this particular issue was made right, even tho GE is making effort to polish his act, there leaves a lot to be desired about the business model. I give credit for making some changes. But even in a perfect scenario with how their business is set up, nobody but someone new to herps would buy from. Definately not the serious collector/hobbyist, but I don't think that's their intended market anyway.
Good Luck with the froggies, Jade.

I never once said I agreed with their business model..... but I did say that if they were more honest and changed the wording on their site that was meant to decieve I would reverse my BG vote in their certs thread.
He did what he said he would... and so did I.
