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.

snakebreeder45, Manuel
I think everyone already figured this out to be a scam, but he has the ad up for the female piebald right now. I sent an email just to see what kind of response I would get, and what do you know...
Email I received this morning.
"Hello,
Thanks for the mail and the interest you have on my snake.i am located in west island of Cameroon and the
snake was owned by my late wife and i was sent here in Cameroon for a
research project which is going to last for 6 years.so i came with the
snake here in Cameroon but the bad climatic condition here and also
the nature of my job does not permit me to take good care of her that is
why i want to send her back to her home land USA. to a loving home
where they will be spoiled with all her needs and treated with love .
i will be willing to give her to your family but you will have to
promise to take good care of her and also send her monthly pictures to
me so that i can see how she is doing in her new home ok. she is 9 months 3 weeks
old and will be coming along side with all her transportation
papers, she is also current with all her shot and are well socialized.
below are some few photos her but before we proceed i will need the following information from you,
Are you a breeder?
Do you have kids?
Do you have a vet around your location?.
Don't contact me if you are not located in USA because i want that she
should go back to her home land USA i will be waiting to read back from you
again.
Thanks
Manuel"
Stay away people! I know most of us know better but this is for the others who don't!

Hahah, I guess so! I just know that when I first got into this hobby, I was naive enough to believe that this could be true. The scam must be working if they keep on doing it. I just don't want anyone to send these people their money because they most surely won't receive an animal.
Just wondering, but is there any way to remove a member because we know that they are trying to scam us? I don't think he had his full name posted either.

Nope. There are still several scammers that are active (and inactive) members.

Since he entered a false name and location in his registration, with the obvious intent of scamming members, he has been shown the door.
