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.

It pisses me off...
Ever notice how some breeders or wholesalers treat you like you don't exist. You know, contact them attempt to place an order and send them money. Then nothing, except short blunt an sometimes just plane rude responses.
I want to ask them. So you started off from exactly where you are today, doubtful.
Then they wonder why they get a bad rep and end up losing there business.

Some people have a successful business in spite of themselves, not because of it.

Yes. I find that it is commonplace.
It frustrates me to answer an ad or otherwise inquire about an animal, and get no response whatsoever. In my experience, it is the so called "big name" breeders and resellers who tend to be the worst. Perhaps they expect the consumer to beg for their animals. Unfortunately, plenty seem willing to do so. I simply add them to my list of people that I will never buy from.
Hobby breeders tend to be much more responsive.
I recently responded to an ad for some fairly uncommon amphibians. I said I was interested, but needed some care info for that species, as I couldn't find anything online. I got a response after TWO WEEKS- "sorry sold out". Funny thing was, they placed another ad for that same species the very next day. My theory is that they were simply too lazy to provide basic care info. Many of them seem to want nothing to do with the customer, other than to accept their payment. Well, that's one big reseller I'll never buy from.
I've observed that, unlike more traditional businesses, the qualifications to be a herp "business owner" seem to be pretty low. One doesn't need a background in business, sales, customer service, or even basic civility in order to sell herps- and quite often, it shows.

This is a shame. Even if they simply provided a link to some care sheet elsewhere, that would suffice.

On the other hand, I have jumper through hoops to send pictures or even hold an animal for 24 hours to never hear from the person again. There are bad customers too.

Unfortunately, for me at least, that list is much longer than the list of people I would buy from.
My problem with the hobby breeders is no one breeds normal animals. Everyone has morphs and wants an arm and a leg and that's not what I want.
I'm forced to consider the big time resellers because they are the only ones who are selling what I am looking for but I refuse to do business with them so I am on the outside looking in.
