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.

Shipping
Okay , I have been receiving reptiles [ small lizards and amphibians ] for over twenty years .As far as I can remember they all came in a perishable marked Styrofoam box .
I have shipped one lizard in the past year and shipped it UPS . I was able to get a discount from printing the label on line . Around $60 KY. to Miami . Everything went fine [pre covid ]
Went to Fed Ex outlet and the girl working their told me they do not ship reptiles . How do you people that ship a lot go about this with Fed Ex ? I am aware of using " Ship your reptiles "
Also for someone that rarely ships , those Styrofoam boxes cost around $ 20.00 ea. Has anyone made their own ?

FedEx ships reptiles for approved shippers such as SYR; if you get your label from SYR or other herp shipper you can ship via FedEx. This is what all small-scale breeders/sellers do, and it works great, and you get a discount on the shipping cost.
You can make your own box, but it may look very unprofessional to the buyer, and it must be labeled appropriately. Buying a box, and passing that cost along to the customer, solves these issues.
There is a lot of info on these matters on the SYR site -- great place to start researching.
