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.

FedEx or UPS for shipping? You Tell Me..
Hi to Everyone,
Tamara here, Rainbow Bearded Dragons. I'm sure there are many of you with the same decision I'm facing because of the Shut down of domestic delivery by DHL. I set up an account with UPS just to find out that out of 5 shipments only one was there by 10:30 am delivery and they charged me 7.00-10.00 more per shipment than FedEx would have charged me.... I was wondering what you guys have been dealing with, with your NEW Shipper? I know nothing about Fedex and wondering if they delivery on time, next day service by 10:30am?? I used the post office once and they said it would be delivered by 10:30 am the next day. Well the tracking was useless and it didn't get delivered next day but second day!
In the mean time they couldn't even find my package and it showed up in the tracking 2 days later when it got delivered. I had enough of that! They said they use fedex planes and it may have been bumped off...
Just wondering what your results are with your new shipper, former DHL users...
Thanks, Tamara

I shipped them out with UPS on Monday 11/24/08 for next day Air and just got the bill tonight at my Paypal account...
That's when I figured out the charges...

haha no, I did it just to see if it could be done. Figures. I always have had nothing but problems with them, and if they lose a package or you ever need to file a claim, you better be ready to fight for it. USPS is usually pretty good from my experience.

It is a federal offense to ship anything but a few kinds of herps through the U.S. Postal Service. It is illegal for all types of snakes I know for sure. FYI
As for DHL, I have a longstanding account with them, and I opened a FedEx account because of their closing of US operations. I really don't like the fact that they said they are closing down, yet will still take packages, but not guarantee the delivery. Not a chance that I'll take with a live animal. And I absolutely hate UPS, and wouldn't use them to ship an empty box.

FedEx priority overnight gets to my office by 9:30am every time, from every where that I have bought from.
The tracking is crazy. The drivers use a hand held thing that connects to their system via cell phone technology. The FedEx guy walks out after delivering something to me, I get an email telling me that my package has been delivered.
