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 need information about Northwest Reptiles, owned by Olivier Allen Moi. He seems a little bit shady and I am not sure if I should order from him. He requires a min. of $300.00 order, thats ok, but he refuses to allow me to place a smaller order to "test" him out ($150.00-$200.00). That alone scares me, as all he offers is credit for the next purchase. He prices are low and that gets to me as well, I think they are to low Come on $5.50 for a Sengal Chameleon, and $5.00 for a Fat-tail Gecko. So the big question is, will I get what I order?

Do you have his address. Because I live in the NorthWest, Washington state.
Those prices are way to low, even for imports.
So if you let me know his info I can check around, because I know most of the wholesalers in this area and have never heard of that company.

I know that he deals (at least used to) a lot in frogs. I think he used to breed most of the stuff himself. I've never personally ordered from, and I can't really speak for his reputation. I do know that he is a real person and has been in business for at least the last couple of years. If you decide to go through w/the deal let us know how it turns out.

i know i've heard of him, but i cant remember what at the moment...
you probably will get what you order--a $5 fat tail, etc...
sounds like an importer that wholesales to other wholesalers and large operations.
What I would do is keep in mind that his established customers probably get the top picks of what comes in since they are the consistent $--you would probably get left overs. That would be my thinking going into it. Also keep in mind what you see at pet stores--most of them order from strictly and CA reptiles, which in turn order from this guy?
Depends on what you are looking for--if these are animals for yourself, I wouldnt do it, but if you are a dealer, this person could be a good wholesale connection. I'd make sure he has some kind of guarantee.
Good luck
Dana
