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.

Buyer beware, this guy is selling sick animals as well as turtles that are clearly under 4". The leopard gecko in the pictures has quite bad MBD and the others are skinny and look horrible. I got some screen shots of some of his facebook auctions on his business page and will post them here.

More screen shots, sorry posting from my phone so can only post 4 at a time.
Quite a few people commented on his auctions about the horrible condition of his animals but he just deletes the comments and blocks people.

Have you reported him to FB? Sometimes they do the right thing and actually ban the user especially if violating any rules ( like selling turtles under 4")

He blocked me so I'm not sure how to do that. I'd send him a link to this thread too but since I'm blocked I can't do that either.

I reported him and posted a link to this thread on one of the auctions, see how long before I am blocked and comments are removed.....

I'm guessing not long, it took about an hour for him to notice my comment and delete and block me. It's been shared all over Facebook I'm sure the comments on his posts will just keep pouring in. His block button is going to get a workout today.

No they don't. I've tried reporting for animal abuse, etc and Facebook says nothing but "this doesn't violate our community standards"

Yep, blocked...lol
But I see others are posting the link to this BOI all the time.
However there are still poor unsuspecting people actually bidding on their auctions even with the information...so sad
I hate the thought of possibly a new comer receiving one of these and being so upset and put off for life....
