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.

I know of a person he also scammed. The person asked him if he would accept such and such amount of money for a couple snakes he was selling, he said yes and the person sent the money only to be told that it was that price each per snake and he considered the money sent a deposit and would not refund it. I've seen an ad on reptibid.com for a pied ball he had whose picture was obviously photoshopped. Not surprisingly that snake was sold rather quickly (to himself most likely). Most recently I contacted himself myself about a gravid female monocled cobra he had for sale. When asked how he knew she was gravid and such, he said he knew because he bred them. Well first off why on earth would you sell her before she dropped? And second, it's not breeding season for kaouthia so I really doubt he actually bred them. Anyway, seems like a person to definitely steer clear of. I hope you are able to get your animals and/or your money back.

Chance,
Thank you for your reply. I am the one who paid for that female monocle who was suposedly gravid. I too asked about the probability of her being gravid due to the season, but i have seen stranger things. He has been playing games with me for over 3 weeks now. A friend of mine contacted him in regards to the het pied ball to see what he would say. He said it was going to be a week and a half before he could ship, and he would take $2600.00 for the snake. When my friend asked for a date of shipment he said he was going to be traveling but would ship upon his return. He wanted my friend to send him the money to assure that the snake would be his. When he could not give a date or a written promise my friend backed out. Also, another friend of mine also contacted him about the Female Monocle, and was told he could pick it up on Long Island. When he received my money order, next day air mind you he told my friend that the snake was no longer on Long Island, and that she had been sold to me. If I would have known that my friend had spoken to him and getting snowballed, I would have never sent him anything. Its ok though, I know where he will be on Tuesday. I may be taking a trip to see him. He plays for a punk rock band, and will be in New Brunswick NJ. playing a gig. He has been forewarned about playing games. Its either the snake or my money. To be honest I just want this over with already. I work hard for my money, and like my hobby. I spend tons of money on my collection, and put alot of time into it. Im not going to have a 21 year old punk ruin it for me.
Thanks,
Chris

herboyracer is also c and c reptilia who is in cahoots with Michael Gonzalez aka piebaldpimp. Michael Gonzalez tried to convince me that a baby bp he had was het pied, he said he bought it from c and c reptilia, c and c then emailed me to verify genetics and guess what? Email address was herboyracer. He even sent me the baby with fake papers, once I busted him he stopped talking to me.
