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.

Garrett Smith
I have purchased two beautiful Chameleons from Mr. Smith. I made a great decision because he was very much up front, and wasted no time with shipping. I brought both chameleons to the vet and they were very healthy. Age and weight was spot on.

Mr. Duffield, did you know that Garret had scammed others when you made your purchase?

Ughhh, is there multiple users with the name of Garrett Smith? From my research I've found three users with that name registered, and two seem to be the same person while one is completely different and reputable. Judging from OP's profile picture which is a Calumma parsonii, the Garrett Smith he's referring to is kurpak, who has been a user for almost 15 years and has nothing but positive reviews. I have personally purchasing a parson's chameleon from him, and I can attest to his professionalism, prompt responses, transparency, quick shipping, and wonderful customer service. I would hate for his name to be soiled by a username mix-up!

Hi, I am just curious, if this person has scammed many users on the site why can he still use the site? How does that work? Was just thinking about that.

In general terms, becoming removed from the site (banned) is a result of violating site rules. It is possible that an individual can be accused repeatedly of being a scammer, but not have violated the site's rules to maintain an active membership.
Most, but not all, scammers do or will eventually violate the sites rules, at which point we have just cause to excuse them from the site.
Anything further can be discussed in Site's Feedback Forum. Thank you

Shelby is absolutely correct, there are two currently active Garrett Smiths. (Thank you for pointing that out, Shelby, I was completely unaware.)
Frogman11 is the Garrett Smith those above me were discussing. He currently does not have any chameleons listed for sale here, but he quickly takes down classifieds once purchases are made.
Kurpak is another Garrett Smith who recently advertised Parson's chameleons in June 2018. He is not very active on Fauna with only 9 posts, but he's been a member since 2004.
Keith, can you please clarify which Garrett Smith you purchased from?

Easy fix.
Keith needs to provide more info on his seller such as user name,email address,city and state anything that will differentiate him from any other Garrett Smiths.
