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.

First Choice Reptiles ripped me off
Do not under any circumstances purchase anything from First Choice Reptiles! They took my money for animals they didn't have in stock, took 2 weeks to reply to multiple emails, finally reported to PayPal and was refunded by PayPal, so I repeat do not buy from First Choice Reptiles!

Do you have any pictures of the correspondence showing dates and times?
Were these animals purchased through an automated website or did someone tell you they weren't in stock and there would be a wait for them?

If you got your money back, they technically didn't rip you off.
Based on what you've said so far, it sounds more like you just experienced very poor service, rather than fraud or theft.
Which is still not good, of course.

Based on FCR's reputation if he didn't get a critter then he dodged a large caliber bullet.

PayPal refunded him, not the company. So technically, yes they tried to rip him off.

Need more info, was this an add to cart type situation or did they confirm it was in stock before ordering?

I also made the mistake of ordering from First Choice Reptiles. (I know I should have checked first, but they were the only site I could find with crocodile skinks reportedly "in stock" and I was desperate) It's been three weeks now and they have yet to respond to a single email and their phone has been disconnected. Definitely not a reputable dealer.

If you paid by PayPal or credit card start a dispute.
