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.

Heathersreptiles / Mike Devan / Heather.Yvonne
Does anyone have experiance with this person? I only ask as I sent money for an animal last week and I just noticed the persons message page now has a banned tag under the user name. This is somewhat concerning to me. Any feed back wouldbe appreciated

Heathersreptiles is banned pending verification of identity.
At the least that account was being used to circumvent a ban and sell animals for another banned account.
This is one of several accounts that has ties to each other going back to an original account belonging to Mike Matson who is also banned here. Until proven otherwise, I am left to suspect that they are all actually him, and no proof has been offered.
I'm interested though, why you included both the names Heather Yvonne and Mike Devan in the title?
What did you buy, how did you pay, and more importantly WHO did you pay?

Heathersreptiles was the account name. The user name associated with the account was heather.yvonne. nd the person i have been talking to via e-mail is Mike Devan. i paid via PayPal to e-mail "reptilemike01" at any rate I sent money for a lavender male adult retic. What do you think??

Well, that confirms that the heathersreptiles account is indeed a shill account created to circumvent the ban on the reptilemike01 account of "Mike Devan" (spelled Michael Devins on the account here, another inconsistency).
Whether Mike Devan is a real person or not I can't say for sure. There was enough evidence pointing to the probability that he was Mike Matson to put the ball in his court and ask for proof of his identity. No proof was provided so the account remains banned.

At first I was speaking him thru the fauna personal message links and then I started getting his mail from a personal account. I thought nothing of it as I do this all the time. I am staying in contact with him via e-mail but now he is telling me he is having issues with shipyourreptiles and cant ship when he sais he would. At this point I am very concerned. I did not realize he was banned until yesterday when I went back to look at our original conversation on the fauna site. I hope he ships what he sais he will. Has he outright ripped anyone off already?? I just wonder if I should ask for my money back and just forget the whole thing or try and go thru a paypal dispute or what.. However at this point he truly has not done anything wrong. He is supposed to ship tonight so I hope he does.

Allen,
I have being dealing locally with mike. This guy is well... No words to describe without myself getting in trouble. Lol. Do you have a number for him? If not I have his number. Let me know and I'll pm it to you. Sorry about this. He is just a middle man, no breeder or seller just buys animals, marks them up a bit and tries to make a few dollars...

I do not have his number so if you could PM it to me that would great. Like I said he has done nothing wrong as of yet. however I get very nervous when someone has a big chunk of my money and I start reading all this bad stuff relating to him. I really hope I can follow up in a few days and say he did me well.
Thanks
Allen Sheehan
