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.

I can add to this post from a few thousand kilometers away:
The geckos at Garretts house are mine and garrett, as a great business partner, was so kind to open up the US market for me. He keeps the animals for me in best condition and also manages the shipment to my customers.
Importing animals from countries like Pakistan is a though bussiness. It is amazing, which progresses Garrett made in this topic. And amazing, that people, who know how complicated such imports are, complain about it. To get this animals is a dream for many people and getting them is anyway worth the waiting time. I know that this dreams are close to become reality. and I am very thankful for all the time and effort and a lot of personal money Garrett already spent in this project.
I trust Garrett from all the wonderful things we dealt with in the past and can tell everyone: If bussiness with him works over that big distance, be sure, it will also work in your close distance. And any problems coming due to delays is just a matter of documents and organisation that just take longer in some countries.
Cheers, Markus

Apparently he has been doing stuff like this for a while.

I almost got you? What does that mean?
The animals were at my house. The geckos are an inch long and unless your a great photographer you can't get a good pic of them. I used pictures from my business partner in Germany of the actual animals. You asked me questions on them, I answered the questions. The animals sold!

Garrett, At the time of your original ad for the G.Daudini you did not have those geckos in your possesion and you know it! The ad were you were using Markus's pics which you deleted. I texted you asking detailed quesitions about the animals history and you immediately blew me off when I had to flat out ask you if the animals were still in Germany. You could have at least tried explaining the situation. I think it would have been sketchy to send you $2400-2500 based on how you replied to my inquiry.

You are incorrect. Markus posted an ad when he ad the animals. Once the animals arrived, I posted an ad. I had large amount of people asking questions on them. There was no situation to explain. They sold fast.

A couple of lingering questions.
Did Michael know he was an investor with no recourse when the deal was made? Or is this something which was unspoken and open to interpretation?
The Garret Smith from 10 years ago is referenced as being from Chico CA in one thread, your city. Is this just a coincidence?
You have a want list on your website with a few ESA species currently unavailable in private north american herpetoculture. This raises some concerns about your understanding of import/export laws- which could be a component in why people are getting nervous about trusting you with such large sums of money after no animals have been supplied (particularly after other people have landed their Pakistan orders months ago).
A simple solution to rest concerns about the animals coming may simply be to redact the CITES documents of any sensitive material and show that you are making headway on the shipment

Do you own a security license in california to sell a partnership? You called and msg me stating that you could get hardwickii back in December of 2014 and told me they would be $1000 a piece i told you i could only take 6 at the moment and maybe more once they landed . I have been asking you for a CITES paperwork copy for months and you always seem to ignore it i even asked you for a invoice from your contact in pakistan to see what cost was and you again failed to show. We never signed no document stating we were business partners . as for the defensors you told 3.3 defensors are worth 7k and said we would call it even , i said no cause i have 0 experience with them and would like to have my money back i told you current market value for them so not sure bow i said i can get babies at "$300" . I have several SS to back me up
