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.

Anthony Caponetto from AC Reptiles?
~ Hi,
~ I have been extremely interested in purchasing a few Crested Geckos from Anthony Caponetto later in the year, but after reading up a bit about him on the BOI (to avoid any problems and issues in the future), I was wondering if he is the best person to purchase from?
~ According to most of the BOI threads, he has a lot of issues with responding to e-mails. Has that gotten in the way of his business? He seems like a great breeder, but I would like someone who I could consistently speak to. And communication seems to be his biggest downfall.
~ So, in your opinion, is Anthony rawr a good guy to do business with? How good is he? I have not gone through all of the BOI threads on him, but what I can conclude is that he is a great breeder, takes awesome care of his animals, but just doesn't communicate as much as he should. If I'm wrong, please tell me, because I would hate to make a mistake. And if you have any experience with him, that would be great if you could tell me about it!
~ Thanks,
~ Mackenzie Russell

Anthony is a great guy. he has had some shipping problems in the past but most of that was on his racks. although he doesnt ship racks, the company that builds them for him does, he was still responsible for them. i have a couple of animals from anthony and never had a problem with getting them or him answering my emails.

The best way to contact Anthony by email is either of the following ways-
http://www.acreptiles.com/store/inde..._id=ContactMe2
or
Anthony Caponetto <anthony@acreptiles.com>
His geckos are FABULOUS and among the healthiest I've seen, and his shipping if TOP-NOTCH. He will NOT ship geckos out if there are weather issues that may endanger them.
I ordered a gecko back in early December-during his Black Friday Sale-and due to blizzard conditions in his area, they were delayed, but it's better to have them safe in his facility-being fed, cared for, and kept warm-than to have them getting delayed in transit and have them get sick and die.
I have no complaints whatsoever when dealing with Anthony.
It just takes some time to reach him if he's got a tight schedule.

I've bought from Anthony before. Where he lacks in communication he makes up for in quality animals. It did take him a little bit to get in touch with me after I sent a couple of emails. But he shipped when he said he would and the animals arrived in great health. I'd buy from him again.

I PURCHASED A COUPLE OF ALBINO MILKSNAKES FROM ANTHONY ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. WE HAD NO ISSUES AT ALL, COMMUNICATION WAS GREAT, SHIPPING AWESOME, AND THE ANIMALS (STILL IN MY COLLECTION) ARE DOING, AND LOOKING GOOD AS WELL. BASED ON MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, HE WAS AS GOOD AS THEY COME!

I have purchased a few leopards geckos from Anthony and I still have them to this day, they are healthy and breeding. I have also talked to him in person at a show a year or 2 back and he was very pleasent and answered every question I had for him. Good guy in my book.

I know Anthony personally as well as through the reptile world, and I know him to be a really good guy. He knows his stuff about the animals he keeps, and I've been to his place and seen first hand how he keeps his animals...and the quality of his care is second to none...it's impressive actually. He and I have traded some animals (and I might have bought a few things) in the past, and the animals were always outstanding! In fact, I would venture to say that they're second to none.
