Signatures:
- BBCode is enabled, use this as your main style for customizing your signature

Classifieds:
When posting in the classifieds section, you are responsible for keeping track of your sales/purchases. The forum is not responsible for any lost money/scams in any transactions. We will however permanently ban those who try to scam other members when caught. Before purchasing/selling any animal, make sure you are comfortable with the customer/owner prior to making any deal.
The easiest way to do a clean buy/sale is by meeting up with them in person and paying with cash. If not we recommend using a trusted payment site such as PayPal to do your transactions. That way if anything goes wrong, you can contact them as soon as possible to put a stop to the transaction and get your money back.
If you have any concerns about buying/selling something, always ask and do research before going ahead with any decision.

Closing Statement from the forum Founder;
Hello, I would like to start by welcoming everyone to this new forum. I partnered up with one of my closest friends to bring this site to life. Both he and I share a passion for reptile and animals alike. So we thought it would only be right to start a forum together and gather other members to share the passion with. We hope to see many friendly members soon, and hope each and every one of you enjoy your time with us on this forum.
Sincerely, Admin.
