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.

FloridaHerps.com - BUYERS BEWARE!!!
My boyfriend and I ordered a ball python from FloridaHerps.com and it arrived with ticks! We tried calling right away with no answer or response. It was advertised as captive bred but it was obviously NOT. We tried e-mailing but got nothing. Then after several attempts they responded rudely, and in ALL CAPS, telling us we were out of luck. We have since read many bad experiences but too late for us. They also tried to pose as another person on a different forum to badger us with threats. My boyfriend is very upset. BUYERS BEWARE!
Also, we learned that FloridaHerps.com uses drop-shippers for most of their animals. This means THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THE ANIMALS THEY SELL!!! Do they mention this on their site, NO!

Huh?
#1. What forum was I banned from? Ridiculous!
#2. We husband Quan and I own property in Myakka City, FL and Sarasota. So if you are going to accuse me of being a reptile company I am only 3/4 of a mile from Silver City Serpentarium! Another fantastic reptile company I can personally vouch for. They too have african tortoises outside!
#3. What is your name? Your posts have a different last name then your profile. Strange.
#4. Where are all these CAPS? I don't see them used by anyone anywhere? Can anybody please show me where I can see posts from this company in all caps?
Don't attack me, you started this thread and here unlike the other places you posted you will need to provide proof. REAL name the order was placed on, emails with headers, paypal or credit card transaction info to show you really bought what you say you did, tracking number, etc.
You can deflect the facts or lack there of all you want, people on this forum are wayyyyyy too savy to fall for fake slanderous comments.

#1 Where did she say you'd been banned from anywhere?
#3 What last name do you see?
Michelle, once again, please post all e-mails you have. We appreciate being warned of such business practices as the ones you're speaking of, but it really doesn't mean much without some kind of proof.

#1 ...Michelle said Jenny Bell was "busted" on another forum...didn't specifically say "banned".

#3 ...Michelle's profile says Michelle Radkey...but she signed her very first post as Michelle Rasmussen.
At the moment Michelle, all we see is she-said/she-said. If you come here making claims and someone disputes your claims, then you need to BACK THEM UP with the proof you say you have.
