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.

That is very disappointing indeed.
And I am sure I am not the only one to think that way.....

This has been expressed in other threads; so I will address it once, here.
I'm fairly confident in saying that most people here don't remember why Mike Matson was banned in the first place. When that ban was lifted, it was done without any fanfare...and the account remained unused for some time. During a similar situation (a member relaying information), I pointed out that his account was active & and he could come speak for himself. What was not revealed (because it really isn't any of anybody's business) is that the infraction points were not removed from the account....and, in fairly short order, Mike's posts earned him the points to trigger another ban. To be honest, in other circumstances, it wouldn't have been enough points to trigger even a 3 day ban.
That said, it also bears mentioning that we do not ban people for business practices (unless they violate site rules in the process).
Also, occasionally people change. Just because somebody was a here five (or more) years ago doesn't mean they will always be a ; or that they can't become a solid, upstanding, member of a community. Years ago, a banned member could get his access restored in order to respond to a BOI thread - I like that option; and I agree with considering it on an individual basis.
When a banned member is given access, it is probationary; and there is little tolerance granted.

I was a pain and did not carry myself well at those times. Now, I am only commenting towards the OP or moderators when questions are asked. Maybe I'll avoid heated back and forth conversations that way and stay away from being banned. Along, with being somewhat more mature.
Most of my online business will go back towards the wholesale side and less retail. Especially, with my full line pet store opening up this fall. Minor issues are blown out of proportion on the online retail side where as the wholesale business is very relaxed and easy going.
Once again, I do appreciate Rich allowing me to post again.
This thread for now has been worked out and Mr Bump I feel will be pleased with the frogs he will receive shortly.

Take it to court. Can't wait!
However, you will sit and hide on behind the computer with one insult after another. Nothing will change because you know what will happen if you go to court

A nobody who's gone out of his way to help a great many people in this hobby by playing a part in exposing you and your kind for what they truly are - with absolutely nothing to gain from any of it. My sole purpose here is to use truth and logic for the betterment of all your potential victims. Your sole purpose is to help yourself, no matter how much you have to continuously lie and steal to accomplish it. All in all, I feel pretty good about the role I play.
Can't help noticing your Fakebook coward brigade is conspicuously absent from your threads on here. Though foolish enough to associate with you, it'd seem they've mustered just enough smarts to avoid being associated with you in a venue that actually counts. I guess the truest friends really are those you don't have to bribe for their support.

Agreed. There is enough here to allow potential buyers to make an informed choice about whether to buy from Matson or not.

I don't ask anyone to comment here on fauna. The information they give is disregarded or they are threatened with a ban. Hence why very few people use this site. Fauna is not the police of the reptile community as much as Lucille and others would like to believe so.
Dan this is the first time I have heard of your name. I doubt you help as much as you think you do.....
This is nothing but free advertising. I have 30 shipments going out on Monday and 2 exports in the next 3 weeks. See a lot of them see thru the worthless threads of a few bad transactions.
Glad these threads give you some meaning to life though

As far as this thread goes and the OP. Mike Bump is having 24 pacman frogs shipped to him on Monday. Not only 9 replacements but 15 extra frogs for free.
