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.

You don't have any room whatsoever to threaten people on here. Man up and quit playing stupid!

Good post Archie.
No one minds misspellings, god knows we all do it especially when typing mad or excited.... you just need to look a bit more together.
Good luck.

You could start by apologizing to anyone else who you have taken a pic from. Post your pics with your ads, its a must. Send me your address in a pm and I will send you a digital camera free of charge with the USB cable to go with it. I mean that too. I believe in second chances but you have to figure out how to get people to trust you after this mess you got yourself into. What were you thinking? Do research on your animals and tell everything you know about them, like it has a kinked tail or it breaths funny (if they do). I owned and researched the reptiles I keep for 3 years before I went into selling and breeding. Occasionally I get animals that I have never kept before but I make sure if someone asks a question I do not know to tell them exactly that. If you dont know the sex then say so. I have incorrectly sexed an animal and sent it out but I refunded exactly what she asked plus a little more for her trouble. You must make things right if you mess up.
Think about what you are doing and if you think you can do better then do better. Know what you are doing and know that the animal is healthy before you sell it. Good luck.

Wow what a great guy sending someone a camera like that.
I read the first few pages of posts, then skipped a bunch and read the final few so if I say anything dumb then let me know.
Even though the guy Ron kind of brought this thread upon himself, it seems to me like he took an unfair amount of abuse. If I had digital cameras lying around and I caught someone stealing a pic of mine I might just send him a free camera as well if he was ridiculed such and apologized. I'd feel bad for him. I, on the other hand, would've rather paid the copyright infringement penalties than have to go through this. Fortunately I never have and never will steal pictures.

most people (like adam) were giving advice or finding out more info about Ron. many people were telling him to mention that he took the pics off google in his threads or ask adam if he could use the picture in his post. and he is now using his own pics. he learned from his mistakes which is why this BOI is here. I do have a good deal of respect for Ron for fessing up to everything and i wish him nothing but the best. but this just goes to show that if you mess up, people will come down on you for it, hard.

Wait.. you think the poor guy 'went through a lot' because he posted a pic and said "it's my snake" when it WAS NOT HIS SNAKE?
He posted pics of at LEAST 2 snakes that were not his, stating they were his, trying to sell them. But poor guy for getting caught?
I hope he turns around and stops trying to scam people, but he refuses to think it's scamming to post a pic of a different animal and say it's his. Apparently if the snake is the right weight, that's all that matters. That's not "fessing up", that's getting caught with no way to explain it.
If I wanted to post a pic of a nice tricked up ford ranger for sale, and sold the person my beat up POS ford ranger, I think that'd be scamming too. Why? It's NOT the truck pic in the ad, and I didn't state the pic wasn't the actual vehicle. It's a deceptive practice. Why is that okay?
Personally I don't care if he spells every last word perfectly and has better grammar skills than an English major, or if he's skipped out on his kids or is Dad-of-the-Year.. the scam is still a scam.
Sorry. That's just the way I think.

No need to apologize to me seeing how everyone is entitled to an opinion and yours has no bearing on me.
