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.

BUYERS BEWARE! BEN SHOTTS of VIVID DRAGONS- dishonest man, possible scammer
BUYERS BEWARE. Ben Shotts is a fraud. I recently ordered a dragon from him and he sent me a different, lesser quality dragon than what I ordered and paid for. When confronted he DENIED it and claimed they were the same dragon, despite proof in photos and on his own website! He wouldn't even refund me the price difference of a mere $25! And as it turns out, the dragon I thought I was purchasing had actually already been sold, which I later found on an older sales listing of his, yet he still listed that same dragon for sale again two more times. This guy is dishonest, and not at all professional or courteous in his dealings.

The first is the dragon I ordered and paid for. The one I received is shown in my hand. You can tell they're different by the markings on his back. The one I received has a heart shaped marking on the left side. The one I ordered doesn't, and also has a different pattern of circle markings on his right side.

I have been In contact with him multiple times. Even opened a PayPal dispute, which he escalated for PayPal review before I had a chance to send them all of my evidence, so they ruled the case "not in my favor". He now doesn't answer my calls or texts.

Sarah, is your Paypal backed by your credit card? You could either go to your bank or credit card company.
