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.

Tommy,
There are many African Reptile exporters out there. Is that the name this person is using for their company? I import alot of animals from Adfrica and have never heard of anyone with that name. Which country are they claiming they are from? You should ALWAYS be very careful with any exporters in Africa and the middle east. There are many people who have been taken for large sums of money (myself included).

I have never bought from an exporter and this guy is really cheap. The web page is www.africanreptile.4t.com. The guy told me that the shipping would run me around 6-10$ to the USA. That sounded to cheap for me since shipping in the US is almost 30.00.
Thanks for you reply
Tommy
PS does any one have any info an ww.africanreptile.4t.com.
I am trying to get his name.

Well in order to import from Africa you have to be licensed from the USF&W to do so. Freight runs around $6-$10 per kilo. It is not like ordering from someone here in the US. There are many things to do to legally import. Even though his prices might be low the prices are not the main cost in importing. I would not recommend anything with someone you have no idea about. Hopefully someone will be able to help you in your quest for information but please make sure you get all the legal documents done before you order anything.

Another thing, I just looked a the web site and all of the pictures are taken from someone else's web site. If they were truly an exporter they would be able to take pictures of their own animals. I would reccomend sterring clear of them.

Yeah
Rob told me earlier today that African Reptiles stole one of my pics, even erased my watermark! It was of the male Chamaeleo jacksonii merumontanus. I would never do business with these guys, they are brokers, they don't have the animals!
Thanks
Justyn

The question is, what business? This guy looks like he is just trying to take someones money in return for nothing. Last I checked that was not a business. Either way, if you are really interested in African importation, give me a call, I'll give you the real facts that you may or may not want to know.
Thanks
Justyn
