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.

THANKS Melinda!
That all shows Rapid City, SD.
I'm sure there's an explanation, her registration here on fauna shows: Forbidden Pets

The albino iguana photograph being used by her can be found on our shop facebook business page Snakes at Sunset. It was an old cover photo and profile photo of ours for the shop FB page, taken by us of our animal.

It appears that she caught on real quick that using other breeder's pictures for the "Forbidden Pets" idea was was not going to fly, especially with the Fauna community.
Forbidden Pets FB page is now gone and the links/ads from Crazy Critters FB to it are now gone as well. The Forbidden Pets website now reverts back to the original 605critters.com. Why the attempt/hassle to create that entity using other people's pictures still escapes me. The terms and conditions were also copied and pasted from Strictly Reptiles. In her haste, Strictly's email was left in the paste job last night.
Their South Dakota store location closed back in Nov 2018. Their FB page states:
"In addition, recent financial challenges, due to unforeseen changes in the pet store industry, as well as the illness in the building have left us with little choice but to make the heart-wrenching decision to immediately close down the store and move on to other adventures."
Again, not sure why she would do what she did, doesn't make sense.

If intending to do actual business where a retail customer receives a product, the goal was probably drop-shipping from the look of things. Advertise an animal for $3000. A retail customer pays the "front" $3000 plus shipping. The front pays the "back" $1500 plus shipping. The wholesaler/back ships the animal to the retail customer under the front's name (which is a service offered). The retail customer is none the wiser.
Lots of vendors who superficially appear to have a bit of everything do this. Others cherrypick in person from such wholesalers. Others still really do work with all of the things they advertise.
I suspect drop-shipping was the intent here. They would never even have to interact with an animal.

Thanks for your input Nick!
If that's actually the situation she intended it to be, then all she had to do was chime in and say so, going about it the way she did made her look like she was up to no good.
In addition she delete her FB account, her Fauna ads, ect.
Honest brokers/dealers DON'T go about it the way she has/did
It is, what it is!
I still think I smell a RAT.

For a business of her apparent experience there is little excuse for using other people's pictures without permission.
