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.

It shows that a box was delivered to SOMEONE in that area, agreed. But it is more than suspicious that it was signed by someone named "molt" or excuse me, "Malt", but it isn't signed by the last name Sabatini, which is the person making all of these outrageous claims. Notice he won't answer any of the questions that I put forth?? It gets really "quiet" (as another person put it) everytime it comes to answering the basic questions. I have answered, rephrased my answers, and everything else to appease the crowd, but Jeremy keeps avoiding the easy questions and it has now taken him over 24hours to produce the "evidence" he claims to have. Does that seem strange to anyone else, well okay, as strange as someone with a dispute that doesn't want to settle it in a secure manner strange, LOL

Thanks for finally answering the two questions I posed Kevin. I have a good contact at UPS and I will be checking the account # issue tomorrow.
I did notice that one post from Ray Hunter managed to slip under the radar a few pages back.

FOR THE RECORD...
I never heard back from Kevin when I e-mailed him last night to help get him the Delta records to prove his claim. Because I do not have authorization, I will not post my findings, but I now have official confirmation that Kevin DID NOT send the King cobra by Delta airlines. A Delta staff member went back 9 months to verify that Kevin has NOT used Delta to ship the King Cobra. Surprised??? Nope, not me. A proven liar, is a liar! Why would we expect anything else from him?
Thanks Kevin! Keep up your work at elliminating our hobby. Expect a little something from me soon, and enjoy.

Care to comment Kevin? Or should we strike up the band for another tap dancing recital?

why are you trying so hard???
If you are going to keep badgering me to try and prove me the bad guy you wish I was, you could at least keep up with the current situation. I have emailed Ray a couple times today, I was away from my computer for awhile, sorry for the stress it put on you, but I am back around. If you want to get to the facts, why don't you start questioning jeremy about the facts of the situation? That is if you are not just here because of the venomoid issue, which several people are. I have asked direct questions, but they don't seem to get answered directly as you demand from me. Strange how if it involves someone with venomoids, how it is always a one sided battle for the most part.

Chris,
Yes, you are right, it does refer to NY city, and as Tanith points out a permit is required for the rest of the state, which I assume Jeremy has.
Thanks.

I understand your questions and I am not going to go into a great discussion about the surgery or the specifics of it. This is not the thread or the place for such a discussion. I know I will get flames for that, but life goes on.
Interesting. You are willing to expend thousands of keystrokes arguing with Tanith and others about their "rabid anti-venomoid attitudes," yet are not willing to answer simple questions about how you sterilize your instruments and what kind of anesthesia you use.
If you are doing this for a living (or for a significant portion of your living), it would probably be wise to have a FAQ available for prospective buyers. That could address issues like pain medication, antibiotics, pre-operative and post-operative care, and suchlike.
Of course, it could be that you are doing these operations without anesthesia, without proper sterile techniques and without appropriate pre-op and post-op care. In that case the issue is not "anti-venomoid" but "anti-cruelty." Again, a few simple facts and explanations could go a long way toward clearing this up.

Yet once again still no pictures of the box, shipping label, snake, or scans of the shipping recipt UPS can provide you with if you ask. Also a pretty good idea might be for Kevin to scan in some handwriting samples just in case there are any questions on if Kevin wrote the shippng label or not(only if it was hand written).
E mails can be played with and you can add or delete anything you want to to make someone look bad. So can screen shots for that matter. So both are pretty much worthless as offerings of proof now.

Now lets SEE THE PROOF OF LEGAL SHIPPING Kevin. Or are you in violation of the LACY ACT?

One last question Kevin. If and when the IRS audits you how are you going to provide them proof of these 70$ charges for shipping if you do not have the saved airway bills for Delta?
So again where is your documented proof that as a bussiness man you must keep incase of an Audit from the IRS for shipping and bussiness expenditures?

That is a very good idea, but I feel this thread is pretty much overwith since the original poster is failing to provide proof of anything. Basically this whole thread started because the person was trying to get me to pay him back for a snake that he either didn't have any longer or was simply not going to ship after recieving the money. When that didn't work, he got mad and posted a bunch of BS on here. That you for your objective questions and comments. I think I will leave now, if something new pops up, I might comment, but this is pretty much over.
thanks
Kevin Smith
