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.

Jason Flores~~Rock Iguana 39
I'm curious if anyone knows him or has conducted any business with him.
This is what transpired when I emailed him about his ad " FS Pure Cuban rock" ......
I emailed Jason?? He responded by phone, roughly 2 hours later, after a moment or 2 on the phone with him, I said "so you're in Nebraska", he said no, I'm in Florida, I responded, your location on Fauna states Nebraska, he responded, and I quote "O yeah, I need to change that".
Keep in mind, I emailed him directly after he became a member, and posted that ad.
Again, any one know this guy or conducted any business with him?????????????

FYI, this guy has used several IP addresses for registering and posting. ALL of them point to Mississippi. Ridgeland, MS and Silver City, MS, to be precise.
One of the MS IP addresses matches with another member name of "cornsnakes29", who is listing his (Frank Harris) location as being "Long Beach,FL".

I forgot to mention he called me from 239-400-1383.
In addition, I posted my experience with him on his ad, he immediately deleted the ad.

What I've noticed is that the accounts Rock Iguana 39 Linkand cornsnakes29 Link are quite similar. Both are similar names, new, are offering desirable animals for under market value and are using pictures with strange aspect ratios that they ripped off the web (see bottom).
In my opinion, they are probably the same scammer, momentarily confused by your reference to their location.
Here's an example of the photo rip offs I mentioned above:

Oh man, missed this update as I was fussing around formatting links. I guess suspicions confirmed then. Thanks for the info!

Very interesting history to this phone number, apparently it's a spoof number that apps and robodialers use for caller ID, associated with numerous schemes. Here's an interesting read: http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/2394001383

I saw two posts from cornsnakes29 and rock iguana39 on the monitor forum and immediately felt suspicious. The prices were all "too good to be true" and one had a generic backstory. I'm glad this guy has been exposed.
