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.

Thanks for posting those Christine. Yup, clearly a male as Jon conceded via email. Hopefully Mr. Boone will respond with more information.
I truly believe based on his demeanor in the emails that he would have followed through with rectifying the problem regardless of bringing it to the BOI.

As I've seen others say on posts on fauna before about not getting what you paid for... It doesn't matter what he is offering to replace them with. Tankster didn't get what he paid for. He paid for a male and female and received 2 males. He wanted a female and was willing to wait but he could not be provided with one. He now wants his money back. Its pretty cut and dry, he should receive a refund. Not other animals that he does not want.

Hi Justin, I am glad you able to see my point why I posted this here, I paid over thousand for 1.1 sexable pair, but end up I got two males... also I gave him a chance to replace the female, but he unable to come up with a female in 3 months, all he said he shoud have one soon, finally I suggested to refund so I can use the refund buy a female from other person, this way I will have a chance to breed them in next season. Soon I suggested refund on Oct 25, from then on I've never hear from him again !!

Not sure this qualifies as a bad guy post? The OP was buying young animals which every experienced keeper knows is a best guess scenario. So the female winds up male and Jon offers to give a guaranteed female raising an animal to size to be 100% sure of the gender can take some time. Jon never said he wouldn't refund the money he did ask if there were any other animals wanted. Seems to me jon is taking care of this and the OP is getting impatient. Yes I also understand pushing back a season is discouraging but so goes the reptile business. I have had several transactions with Jon and all have been flawless. Give him a chance to respond I am sure the situation will be corrected!

I'm not saying Jon is a bad guy, but if he stopped communication after Oct when the OP said they wanted an refund and not other animals. Its a little concerning he wouldn't make it right with a refund. He only offered other animals which the OP doesn't want. He should get his money refunded....

I do not see anywhere in the posts where he refused a refund? He did ask the OP if there where any other animals he was interested in which is a very common response when working out a transaction. Also Justin my response wasn't meant to be taken as directed at you just my thoughts on the deal!

I did not take it as directed at me at all .... I think its strange that its been almost 2 months with no response once he asked for a refund. And you're he didn't say that in the emails. But almost 2 months of silence says something... Like I said, I don't think he is a bad guy, as the others have said he isn't. To me its just strange to not say anything back to someone when you know there are issues with the product.

That's why I'm hoping to hear Jon's side today. I am sure he will remedy the situation.

I believe the OP has given him ample time to respond before posting this given that he hasn't heard from Jon since the end of October. From the communications posted Jon seems like a pleasant and reasonable person and I hope he makes this right but I don't think the OP is out of line for making this post.
