Others have done excellent work in pointing out things that just don't smell right...so I won't get into that.
But, I do have more stuff for you to try and explain, Michael...(these are screen shots taken from ads which you have since deleted)...
(here are the links which are listed in the above post)...

You used images that
might not belong to you. The use of EBN's images
can potential be explained. Perhaps those pictures are of snakes that you purchased from them (that's what you said when you used Dan's image of the snake that you purchased off of him)...
...Either way, using images which are not yours without the photographers permission is copyright infringement. A while back I used to be in contact with Celia from EBN...she is a very serious photographer...she won't take kindly to this (hopefully you took the initiative and asked her if you could post the images prior to doing so).
The reason I don't believe that she gave you permission to use her images is because it seems that you altered them by flipping them horizontally (its starting to look like you're a flipper in more ways than one). It looks to be an attempt at deception...why else would you go through the effort to edit them?
Having said all that, if you were given permission to use EBN's images, then the above
can be explained. The following, though...I'm having a tough time justifying...

Im sorry if some of you on here are upset because I did not sell you the snake, but I was going on who PMed me first and I have been upfront and honest with everyone!

OK, in the spirit of honesty...please do not deleted your ads which I've un-deleted. Let people rifle through them and see things for themselves. There's at least one more discrepancy that they'll find...

Hi everyone. Ok I will try to clear a few things up. I have done a sale to one fella on this board as of now and it was a mystic. You can look on my vistor messages he left a comment about her.

In one of your (now un-deleted) ads, a 2nd member on this board shows his gratitude for the snake that you sold him...
*sigh* so...we have at least
two (not one) FC members who've purchased from you (drock989 & zamora). I know that I'm now nit-picking...but how many "misunderstandings" does it take before the entire situation becomes ridiculous?
I didn't have time to read every post in your deleted ads. Hence, as mentioned above, I un-deleted them so that others can browse around and see what (if anything) they can come up with. Please do not edit or delete any of your ads...you known, for the sake of honesty
(If by chance you do edit/delete the ads...I've taken screen shots of all your posts with images, and will post them here if necessary).
Listen, you came out of nowhere and are listing some high-end animals. People are going to ask questions (as shown within this thread). If you're on the up & up and can account for everything that we're throwing your way...then I'm sure you'll join the good guy ranks in no time. Although I'm not sure how you can explain some of this stuff...stranger things have happened. I'm simply putting this out there for others to decipher.
*note* Although I asked you not to delete the ads...its absolutely within your right to delete the ads if you wish. You will NOT be "penalized" if you do delete the ads. I'm simply asking you to keep them up because it would save me the trouble of organising and then posting screen shots. I just want to make it clear that I'm NOT making this request in my capacities as a moderator. You have absolutely no obligation to abide by said request.
