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.

Mike Qiang (big apple)
Has anyone dealt with Mike Qiang? I am interested in purchasing an iguana from him but I am not comfortable sending him the fund without checking first. He is listed as from Pomona CA. If anyone can help me with this, I would be very appreciative.

No personal experience with him, but from reading the ad I saw a few red flags...
Refusing to give information on fauna and wanting to do the deal over the phone usually mean they intend to avoid a paper trail and proof of the transaction details.
Hopefully someone else who has done business with him can give you a better answer.

After talking to him on the phone, exchanging emails and looking at the post, I have decided that this person (Mike Qiang or Mike Zhang), would be someone I do not wish to send money upfront. He refused my offer of personal visit to purchase the iguana. Please take extreme caution when dealing with this person.

Odd, I also saw that he "welcomed" visits.
He's viewing, maybe he'll have something to say.

I contacting Mike today by phone 909-706-8629 in regards to the Cyclura n. lewisi he has posted here on Fauna classified. I offered to send a friend with cash for the purchase of the Iguana ($1500.00) he told me that would be fine, he could meet my friend at MIDNIGHT. I told him that wasn't going to happen. The conversation went from there to him asking me whats your name? I responded Lynn Peterson of Big Time Reptiles, I then asked who I was speaking to, he said Mike, he sounded very familiar and I asked are you sure its not Jose Perez, he then hung up.
I would stay clear of this guy!

Maybe I'm missing something here that is obvious to everyone else, but the prospective buyer is indicated as being located in Punta Gorda, FL, and the seller of the animal is listed as being in Pomona, CA. Is the buyer willing to fly out to CA from FL to view and buy what I have gathered is a $200 animal?
BTW, if you have ANY doubts about the REAL NAME of the person you are dealing with, I STRONGLY suggest that you take any discrepancy in that info as a big red flag on the field. That is one of the main reasons I require this info in a user's profile. Please use all tools at your disposal to make a wise buying decision.

Yes, we understand english. Do you?
So you're not selling to him because he posts on your ad?

I'm sorry, but I really don't understand what you're trying to say.
