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.

Shipping concerns...
Okay here is the deal,
was talking to a breeder (not dropping any names), But they said the only way they would ship is US postal service overnight and no guarantee of live delivery outside the fact of possibly getting credit. I said heck no!
Now I have a friend in a similar situation... I have many concerns with it as it just seems plain bad... US Post does not allow live animals so there is already deciet involved...
Any thoughts or opinions?

Actually , USPS regs do allow for the shipping of various live animals, including lizards and small crocodilians.
As for the rest of your concern, I too would be wary of someone with no guarantee of live arrival (unless amphibians).

Thank you
Ken,
Thank you for your reply, I was not aware that USPS regs allowed for the shipment of live animals such as small lizards and crocodilians. I deal mainly with snakes and when I inquired about such here locally I was told no once and met with a dumb stare beyond that. So thanks for that info:-)

USPS also does NOT guarantee overnight shipping to all places. I've learned to ALWAYS ask how your animals are going to be shipped, even if it's someone 'reputable'. I had what was almost a horror story involving a turtle. He was in transit (illegally) for 5 days in February. He's ok, but he's a very tough turtle.

shipping concerns
Most if not all of your carriers will not knowlingly ship live animals especially reptiles. If they do they will not guarantee live arrival or give any type of refund if something goes wrong. Airborne is good about shipping but technically they can only ship turtles or tortoises, no lizards, snakes, etc.

I've had incredibly bad luck w/Airborne. Their tracking system is an abomination, and lost packages are not uncommon.
What's the latest on USPS? In another thread someone said that they've put a moritorium on ALL animal shipments now?

I ship USPS
I always ship USPS Express Overnight and have never had a problem. My packages are ALWAYS CLEARLY marked LIVE HARMLESS REPTILE ( I ship chameleons and bearded dragons) I also insure mine, they've always done it and asked no questions.
I however personally guarantee live arrival as long as the buyer is home to receive the package, which is common practice
