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.

Anthony Caponetto...ACREPTILES?
Hello all....well i was just curious if anyone dealt with Anthony Caponetto before?Ive been talking(via e-mail) with him for about a week or so and i decided on a gecko i wanted to purchase from him.He gave me a good price and was willing to hold it for me until i sent a payment.Well he never updated his site and someone bought the gecko i wanted as well as 2 others.He e-mailed me apologizing and gave me a hell of a deal on two equaly nice looking geckos for the same price as the one that i originally wanted which was 155 dollars shipped.Anthony stated that he wouldnt be able to ship out the cresteds the 11th of Oct. because he was leaving the Fri. before to go to the Chicago show and wasnt returning till Mon. am. So i sent him an e-mail stating i would send out the full payment Fri. the 11th next day air so it would for sure be there when he got back.Shipping is supposed to be Tues. the 12th for delivery to my place the 13th.I contacted u.p.s and the money order was recieved....its just weird that he hasnt e-mailed me stating that he got my money order.Has anyone dealt with this guy because i never have, and the deal he gave me almost sounded too good too be true at the time and man i really hope it wasnt.Just getting nervous like i always do before getting something delivered from an unknown breeder. Anyone got any info? Thanks so much in advance !!!

Anthony
I know Anthony. He is a good guy. He will deliver on his word. As I haven't bought anything from Anthony, but know many have. Go with him. It's worth it. If you want, you can mention me. My name is Branden. I have dealt with a mutual friend, Gary Quirk many times. Hope everything goes well.

He's a professional!!
I've bought from Anthony recently. The man is a professional. Wished there were more like him in this business. You have nothing to worry about. He'll get back to you.

I am on the phone with Anthony as I type and he's driving back from Chicago right now. So that's why you haven't heard from him. He was delayed in leaving by a day.
Everything will be fine.

I have heard nothing but extremely positive comments about Anthony. His animals are amazing, and he is known as a great guy.

i think this thread clearly shows just how "professional" he is,his over inflated ego and the fact he apparantly likes to threaten females with some form of blackmail and physical harm. I wouldn't buy a spect of dirt of the man

There's always three sides to a story...your side, their side and the truth. Enough of that crap.

There's a reason why this topic went to "HELL". If you have more to say, perhaps it should continue there.
Regardless of what has been said and/or done and whether he's right, your right, or you guys are all wrong, I must say that as far as his business goes and the way he deals with his customers, I would put my own reputation on the line for his. He's been nothing but nice and honest in my experience over the last few years. No one said he ever went to etiquette school and at times, that may show. But it doesn't take way from what he provides to his customers.
