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.

Well, maybe I was mistaken. I thought a seller was limited to 1 account. If I'm wrong then I send my deepest most since apology.

I was under the same impression as Greg. I'm guessing he is breaking the rules. And I for one am simply shocked! Not!

I'd expect him to have dome it shady as much as anyone but their system automatically stops you at 3 ads per day per section. If you check the view ads tab, different ads appear under each name. There doesn't seem to be any crossover.
However.....
Here is a little excerpt from their TOS

Crap why couldn't I have read this thread 5 days ago!! I just got three snakes today from Sal, and for sure 2 of the three are the WRONG snakes. I guess he was playing the odds that I wouldn't download the pictures from his ad and he could simply remove the ad and I would have nothing to compare them to. Well he was wrong. I have pictures of two of the snakes and after close comparison I am POSITIVE that neither of the snakes pictured are in my posession. I will be calling him tomorrow morning, but after reading this entire thread I'm not too optimistic.

Not that I would doubt anyone about him, can you post the comparison pictures so we can see what your talking about.

I personally bought some corns from "Upstate Exotics" and all were sickly and eventually died. Do not buy from these guys. They didn't want to refund or credit me anything. BEWARE!!!

Matt, that's very unfortunate for you, but Sal has a stinky, at best, track record. I would HIGHLY suggest you file a fraud report with kingsnake.com, if that's where the business took place, to see if anything at all can be done.
When will Sal be stopped? Obviously Neil's "little talk" with Sal to "straighten" him out failed.

If you take a good look at the animals he has listed, the majority are nothing but hand picked farm raised imports. You know the drill. Pick an import that shows some of the traits of a true morph and market it on the visual traits, not the genetics.
The guy is a real weasel
