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.

unhealthy / abused animal from LLL Reptile!!!
Decided to post pictures of what I got from LLLReptile. I bought a baby green anaconda from them. What they sent me was an extremely sluggish and malnourished snake. It is severely under weight. It's skin is so bad that it can literally be pulled an inch or two away from the body. And no it's not in shed, even if it was it wouldn't look THIS bad! The snake barely moves, and never squeezes at all when being held. Also he is covered in cuts and scars, my guess is from unsupervised live feedings. I did my best with these pictures but it was with a crappy cell phone camera. I can take better pictures once I get home, but at this point I have no hope for this poor guy. I don't know what to do. Every phone conversation I've had whenever I called LLLreptile they gave me dumb answers, like make sure I'm using tap water ect. Ect.and me being the non-confrontational person that I am I just didn't do or say what I should have sooner, But things are no problem on my end because the anaconda was like this straight out of the box. I am completely shocked since LLL is such a well known reputable company in the reptile industry. I am beyond upset and I don't know what to do at this point. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks Fangthane but now it won't let me click the upload button, I'm guessing because I'm on here using my phone. I really want to present my evidence but I guess thats going to have to wait... lovely. I'll be taking him to the vet first thing in the morning, even though there is no "exotic" vet in this microscopic small town that I live in. I would really hate to lose this snake, I've already grown so attached to him despite his condition and the short time that I've had him.

Also, if you are on a mobile device it is impossible, unless you use the TapTalk App.

I bought him on the 21st so I've only had him for a week now. He was shipped to me from wherever LLL is located so I'm assuming California.

Wow, this is really a crying shame. A business as big as they [ LLL reptile ] are to be that negligent and ship out a sick animal to a customer like that. I hope to see you get all your documents together photos , receipts, invoices and all your email conversations and text messages so you and Fauna can get this resolved. I know this is a shock to a lot of people. Start out by calling your credit card company and request a inquiry of the charges and request a charge reversal ! Stay in peace and not pieces !!!!! A.C.
