    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Stay Clear!

After talking to him on the phone, exchanging emails and looking at the post, I have decided that this person (Mike Qiang or Mike Zhang), would be someone I do not wish to send money upfront. He refused my offer of personal visit to purchase the iguana. Please take extreme caution when dealing with this person.

I contacting Mike today by phone 909-706-8629 in regards to the Cyclura n. lewisi he has posted here on Fauna classified. I offered to send a friend with cash for the purchase of the Iguana ($1500.00) he told me that would be fine, he could meet my friend at MIDNIGHT:reddevil:. I told him that wasn't going to happen:NoNo:. The conversation went from there to him asking me whats your name? I responded Lynn Peterson of Big Time Reptiles, I then asked who I was speaking to, he said Mike, he sounded very familiar and I asked are you sure its not Jose Perez, he then hung up:shrug01:.

I would stay clear of this guy!

For your information....I have more than 60 C. lewisi cross....so I think I know a lot more that you do. You told me that your 2010 baby is 3 feet long....that is impossible. My 2010 babies are around 18 inches and my 2008 are around 3 feet.

WHO TOLD MY 2010 HACHING IS 3 FT ? BY THE WAY , ARE U THE STAND ? ? ? IS THAT MEANS ? THEY MUST LIKE U IGUANA LENGTH WHEN EVERYONE HAVE IGUANA ? ? ? DO U C SOME IGUANA GROWN SLOW ? ? ? ? GO STUDY MORE KNOWLEDGE MAN ! ! !
 
so just have him post the pics with tomorrows paper and can of mountain dew so its recent and gives a size perception if you know him all we're asking is for proof..Ty breeds them ...
 
Mike, I am offering you $200 if you post a photo with tomorrows paper and can of mountain dew like Pat has suggested. All I am trying to do here is to protect people from being scammed. Please prove me wrong!

Maybe I'm missing something here that is obvious to everyone else, but the prospective buyer is indicated as being located in Punta Gorda, FL, and the seller of the animal is listed as being in Pomona, CA. Is the buyer willing to fly out to CA from FL to view and buy what I have gathered is a $200 animal?

BTW, if you have ANY doubts about the REAL NAME of the person you are dealing with, I STRONGLY suggest that you take any discrepancy in that info as a big red flag on the field. That is one of the main reasons I require this info in a user's profile. Please use all tools at your disposal to make a wise buying decision.
 
No Rich...the iguana he has for sale is $1500. I am offering him $200 to post a photo with of the iguana with tomorrows news paper so that I can see for sure that he has the iguana he says he has. Please read ALL the posts.
 
i can help the process if needed..i am 15 minutes away from pomona.i can meet up with mike personally and inspect the iguan in question and take pics

I read enough of the posts to raise a question about the "personal visit" statement, thank you. $200 or $1500, very little difference considering the cost and time of travelling across country. Considering the time and expense of that venture, it just didn't add up to me IF the locations are accurate in both profiles.
 
rich,thats why i offered to go to pomona and meet up with mike to take pics of the iguana.i am only a hop skip and a jump to pomona..i use to live in the area.

I'd assume the OP would have someone local to Mike pick up the animal.
