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.

This hardly seems serious enough to warrant a bad guy thread. Lizard was delivered and looks great. Enough whining already.

I believe the purpose of the BOI is to review buyers and sellers in any and all capacity. A bad guy thread does not have to have a deadly serious topic to have merit. Communication or lack thereof definitely merits review. I do not deny that I am happy with the iguana and he appears healthy, but the lack of good communication and no proper notice of the animal being shipped will make me wary of ever purchasing from Snakes At Sunset again.

AGREED. Terrible communication!

And not to mention that age of the animal and potential treatment of parasites is definitely essential to know to be fully prepared.. While it states on their page for blue iguanas that they are hatchlings, one person who left a review stated that the one they received was about a year old.

The one time I ordered with them it went fairly well (back in July). While they were slower at communication and I ended up getting a different animal than I was sent pictures of, everything else was acceptable on their part. No reason to not do business with them, in my opinion. Though I thought it was weird that they wanted to place the order via phone call.

I have heard some people have had comms problems with Michael, however we have bought 3 snakes from him, all comms were good and timely, animals were exactly as described and delivered exactly when stated.
If they had anything I wanted I would have no qualms buying from him again.

I can tell you Mike/Snakes of Sunset does a hell of a better job than some of the other larger reptile sellers. I have purchased animals worth thousands of dollars from overseas and they import and reship the packages. I can't imagine they make too much money off of this. It was done in a timely manner and even when I didn't get the automatic FedEx tracking number, I called Mike and he sent it to me within an hour on a Saturday. Knowing they do this for animals they aren't even selling I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them directly.

I think this thread is worthwhile - it's not been bad enough to stop people buying from them, but at least future customers will know they might have to hang on a while.
Hopefully Snakes at Sunset can take this as useful and constructive criticism and step up their communications - it's fairly obviously not been their strong point.

I did a trade with Mike/Snakes at sunset. Was very happy, he received my animals, and he promptly shipped his animals to me. I had no issues during my transaction.
