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.

As a hobbyist I agree with a lot of what is being said for both cases
I would be (and have been) more then willing to hold animals for extended periods of time for people without any form of payment in certain situations
I think most hobby breeders would agree that in certain situations you make exceptions for some people.
But I would wonder what everyone would expect in one of the situations Harald pointed out...
What if you run a retail reptile store. What if you have sent a few emails back and forth with someone about an animal you have in the store. They have not yet told you they WILL for sure send you anything money wise, they do seem very interested and you have told them your paypal email, but they are just asking general questions about the snake.
You log offline, unable to go back for a few hours because your store got busy. Someone calls in to your store (or even walks in!) and says I want to buy that animal, I can give you my CC number right now.
What do you do....
