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.

There are quite a few sites if you look around. I have edited your post to remove the advertising in it and have moved it to a more appropriate forum.

Thank you so much. It was not intended to be an advertisment.

Now that I think about my original wording it definately sounded wrong and I apologize. Sorry Sorry Sorry!!!
On another note.
A hobbiest or amerature membership would be nice on this forum. Whether they would have a seperate section or just a visible designation for posting classifieds. People would know what tyoe of dealer/breeder they are dealing with, expect a larger variablity in customer service and quality. But then people of this designation could not expected to demand top dollar. It could give a person a chance to build a reputation one way or the other.

Bob, Do you really feel that paying twenty-five dollars for a whole year with the ability to post unlimited ads and rate other members is out of a hobbyist budget?

Let's see.
Fauna is $25 for a year of posting unlimited ads.
KS is $20 for a month of posting limited ads.
BP.net is free to post ads you are limited to how many you are allowed to post.
Reptile Auction only charges a small fee similar to Ebay to post an ad but that site has a tendency to attract less desireabe elements to it.
When you weigh the options, Fauna is the cheapest way to advertise with the most options available for your advertising.

Is it cheap for a whole year? Definately! I would say very cheap, as far as advertising goes. The cost prohibative part is more mental. As a hobbiest, not a professional, can I justify spending another $25 this month on my hobby when I'm already spending the most my wife will permit (wife part a joke) but you get the point.
thanks

This is something I always think. If a site has the traffic that the owner pays for the bandwidth and server to have. It is only right to send a few bucks to make money on their site.
Fauna membership has actually really worked out well for me. 25 bucks well spent. To tell you the truth fauan paid for itself.

You have agreed, above, that the $25 this site charges is reasonable and gives value.
The justification to yourself is something only you can do, since you have already agreed that it is money well spent, and you have heard from others that the services are more than worth the fee.

Unlimited advertising is one of the perqs of the Contributor level membership (see, when you look at it that way, it doesn't sound nearly as bad...it's all a matter of perspective). Other benefits include the ability to post an avatar, increased message storage, unlimited (photo) attachments in forums, the ability to bump and highlight ads, eligibility for the GCC program, ability to edit your posts, see other members' info, and give trader ratings (there are a few others, but you get the idea).
