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.

Reptile Kingdom, Allen Roth--good guy and a big CONGRATULATIONS!
We just finished another transaction with Allen at Reptile Kingdom and as always, it went very well! And the most mindblowing part of it is that he just got married this weekend!
We had no idea when we initiated the transaction and I just could not believe that he made the time to work with us during such a big life event.
Great guy to work with, beautiful animals, nice guy all and all.
And a big congratulations on getting married!
Dana (and Loren)

I dealt with them last year. I was not satisfied with my purchase, but I guess Allen did his part of the deal. It all started with my contacting Allen via phone and e-mail in regards to a male Bradypodion xenorhinum, a species I was quite eager to acquire. He sent several pics he took. I talked to Allen about the chameleon asking how long he has had it, is it eating, is it hydrated, what temp. he is keeping it at, if it looked healthy, etc. Everything sounded and looked decent so I told him I wanted this guy for sure, I sent him payment (I think via paypal?) ASAP and he sent it out first thing via UPS to a station located near me. The chameleon was packed in a large deli cup with a fake plastic plant in it. I personally thought the chameleon was improperly packed, allowing to much room for the chameleon to be thrown around while in transit. I already picked him up, what else could I do. One thing I think Allen didn't mention was how skinny this guy was, his "hip" and tail bones were showing, he was very skinny. I e-mailed Allen telling him the chameleon came in alive but looked a lot skinner then Allen told me he was. I told him I should be able to bring him back to health with some luck and I'd keep him updated. I don't think Allen ever e-mailed me back. Within two days I was able to hydrate the chameleon up and he looked a lot better and seemed to have a good appetite. However, by the end of the week he went sharply down hill and died. I e-mail Allen and never received a response. While I was frustrated that Allen would even sale such an dehydrated and unhealthy animal, I remembered that Allen only guaranteed live arrival and that’s what I got. So I just took the loss and decided I would refuse to do business with Allen again. I guess I it could have been worse. Here is a pic of the male after two days in my care. If you look at the pic, you will notice he is leaning on the plant for support, his coloration is very dull and listless, and his sunken eyes show he is largely dehydrated. He looked a lot worse then this when I got him.

I bought a Western Hognose male from him at a previous White Plains show. The little hog is doing quite well and pounding frozen like a champ. I think there's one other animal I aquired from him at a show but my memory is a sieve.
