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.

Well, actually, it kinda does. His scumbag status is fairly indisputable; and your purchase dollars are supporting him. It's a mentality like yours that helps people like him stay in business. Rationalize it any way you want; but your choice to give him your business, despite knowing exactly what he is, comes off as nothing more than a tacit F-U to everyone he's wronged. As I said, as long as you're not the one being bent over, that's apparently all that matters. It's not an uncommon sentiment. Not exactly conducive to a safer herpetocultural community; but nothing that countless others haven't embraced.

Warning: posting this to all since it keeps happening, stop with the name calling ('scumbag') - as that type of talk is not welcome on the BOI and hasn't been for a while now. I'm sure the feelings can be made clear without having to resort to calling names. Thank you

I see the point you guys are making. I from now on will not support him or purchase from him again.

I truthfully did not think about the effects of others purchasing from him. I guess I was selfish in the way of wanting this species. Again, I do see where my error was with purchasing and how it is classified as supporting him now. Thank you for pointing it out and I am sorry. I should have used my brains.

Everyone makes mistakes. What you do when you find out you've made one is more important than the mistake itself. Sometimes. I think this is one of those times. If you're sincere, well done.

So you get some of the animals you sell from Scolaro? You are now on my don't deal with too. And Dan has far more than his share of Bad guy threads, not one or two. Just remember that if one of your multi-thousand dollar deals goes south, Dan will not be there for you.

He's placed lots of ads over the years for species I really wanted, but I've always had second thoughts. What about buying from him in person?

That is exactly how I felt Jeff. A couple of members seemed to have a problem with me calling him out for his statement. It was obvious that he was doing more than just adding an experience. He states that he has seen the bad guy threads and evidently Dan's actions do not bother him.. There is also the fact that many thousands of dollars of Dan Scolaro's possibly infected animals have passed through the facilities of kingpinreptiles. It really didn't bother me that they wanted to call me out especially considering who was doing the calling.
