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.

WARNING! (Michael Duckworth) in MN
Typically, I would refrain from posting anything, but thought this was worth posting. I have a pair of Iran Desert Monitors(Varanus griseus) posted for sale on another website and this guy, "Michael Duckworth" in MN inquires about them. I ask him where he's located and he said, "MN". I ask him to re-read the ad. (CA SALES ONLY) As some of you may or may not know, these are a Federally protected species, so selling them across state lines would put a guy in deep doo doo. I gently try and explain this to him, and below is the response I get.
There are no laws in this state you dumbas$$ that would
prevent you from selling them here or me from
receiving them here. Maybe you could pull your head
out of your a$$ and call Bruce at Twin Cities Reptiles
here in St. Paul and ask him how many monitor lizards
he currently not only has for sale in his retail store
front, but how many he keeps personally. Clearly you
do not possess the skills and knowledge to justify
being in the reptile business. I figured when you had
monitors that large and were uncapable of sexing them
you were either STUPID or knew damn well they are both
males and tried to scam some unsuspecting buyer into
taking them. Obviously - I was correct on BOTH !!! I
will be posting you as an idiot and scammer on the BOI
!!! Stupid F$ck !
So, as you can see, this is what drives sellers UP THE WALL. Clearly a guy who will hang himself and anyone around him. I strongly recommend you not sell him anything due to this type of attitude. I don't know Bruce at Twin Cities, but hopefully he sees this and doesn't allow the guy in his store anymore. Even when I tried to be nice and respectful to the guy, that is what he said. Of course after he sent that, I had some choice words for him, but felt it was deserving.

Hm....it seems to me that this name has popped up here on the before, but I can't seem to find it.
Regardless...the guy is clearly clueless, and perhaps a bit "off".

Hm, I remember that ID....LOL. He wasn't very nice on here either, and got all bent out of shape when Ken Harbart gave him warning points....

Proves my point
Sounds like a very arrogant, cocky, mouthy kid who will disrespect anyone and thinks someone owes him something.

I'd say you have him pretty well nailed down, lol. I didn't look at his age, not sure if he's actually a kid, but certainly acts like one. Definitely someone I'd not lose any sleep over not doing business with.
