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.

Just a heads up
When posting ads please educate yourselves in the use of an apostrophe. When used like this 12' it means 12 feet. When used like this '12 it means 2012. It might even save some trouble down the line when you ship someone a baby and based on your ad they thought they were buying a 12 foot adult.

If you act quickly you can be the proud owner of not one but 4 world record ball pythons. There is a 10 foot and three 12 foot balls for sale from Flawless reptiles in the classifieds!

If you have an issue with that seller, take it to the BOI; otherwise, such comments are unnecessary (and unappreciated).
As far as the topic of your thread, that is a pretty widespread mistake...and pretty easily resolved by looking at the pictures. Good luck on your mission to educate the people in this hobby like this, though (It doesn't make you look at all petty)

Sorry about that Harald. I have no issue with the seller whatsoever. So many people on here know everything, and I just thought I could help out a little. Besides one of my pet peeves is ignorance. My apologies to Flawless Reptiles.

To be clear, I notice that mistake frequently...and there are plenty more that are just as common. Sometimes I laugh; sometimes I cringe. The reality, though, is that (for the most part) the people that don't know, don't care. Pretty commonly, pointing out such things will get a defensive response..and earn one the title of Keyboard Commando, Grammar (or spelling) Nazi, etc.
Personally, I would love it if people used correct spelling, reasonably correct grammar, and decent punctuation. Heck, I'd like it if some of them could form complete sentences...or break that 200 word mess into multiple sentences. Those things would be nice; but I choose my battles - it helps me to not get bogged down in No Win stuff, and enjoy my time spent here.

My general rule to myself is that if I spend more time trying to figure out what the poster wrote than they spent writing it, I cut my losses and move on. It probably isn't worth the effort to read it anyway.
As a side note, one way you could help alleviate the issues you see with posts is to send a carefully worded PM or email saying that the poster might want to clarify the wording to avoid confusion (or something to that effect).

Which, nine times out of ten, will just wind up getting yourself into a pissing match with that person. Having posts ignored because they are unreadable is it's own just reward.
