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.

A good guy in the reptile business is Ben Siegel
Well I have been doing business with Ben Siegel now for over three years. I have purchased at least fifteen animals from Ben. I continue to buy from him for several reasons. The quality of his animals is always the best. His prices are always very good. I usually buy from Ben at the reptile shows throughout Florida. But when I need something shipped out he delivers when I want it. Another thing that matters to me is cleanliness. After making several purchases from Ben I decided to buy two boas. Rather than ship them on this occasion I decided to drive down to his store and pick them up. Not only did it cost more to drive because of the high gas prices but it was over a four hour drive one way. But I really wanted to see his store. I can honestly say his store was very clean. He even took me in the back room. It was clean back there also. I didn't see anything crawling around that shouldn't have been. Bens store is one of the cleanest stores that I have been in. I have been into reptiles for a long time and I have been in a lot of stores over the years and his was probably the cleanest. So if anyone out there is thinking of buying from Ben Siegel I would have to say, Go for it. I'm sure you will be happy.

Ben is a good guy for sure!! I have dealt with him several times. I spent quite a few dollars as well, but I have always got more than my moneys worth.
I have also been on the selling side with him, he is a great buyer as well. I have plans to do more business with him future.

I bought a lizard from Ben a couple of years ago. I wasn't happy about the condition of the lizard and notified him upon receipt and attached pictures. He said that he stood behind the health of the animal. Because these lizards weren't commonly available, I wanted to see if the lizard would bounce back; Ben said that he would extend the warranty period. Throughout the period Ben was easy to communicate with, responded promptly to emails and even contacted me to check on the lizard's status. Fortunately, within a couple weeks the lizard was back to 100% and I was able to tell him that all was well. I was very impressed with how the situation was handled. I think that the way a seller deals with an unsatisfied customer is very telling. I would not hesitate to purchase from him again.

Ditto, I have a fantastic C. hortulanus from their shop and he's still doing well years later. I would purchase from Ben again.

We have purchased a number of animals from Ben over the last few years and all of them have been great.

Ben is nothing but the best. We have done several deals and all were excellent.
