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.

Like I said, if you can't get a 5 foot carpet python off you, you have no buisness keeping reptiles or at least not putting them around your neck...but these rare cases certainly don't reflect on everyone who has snakes.

That is a good point. My point is many people who seem healthy have it and do not know it. I would hate for the initial presentation of it to be death by a Boa or Python, irrespective of the size. It's a risk and it's one commonly seen at reptile shows and the like. And that is why I pointed it out.

I would like to know how NERD can guarantee that all the snakes are voids if they were rescues?

So everyone who has viewed this thread or participated in any way and not condemned it as forcefully as you would like has condoned it? Or am I held to an especially high standard in that regard?
Eh...it's no matter. Please read the following, all from different posts that I have made in this thread and explain again please how I have "condoned" it.

None at all. I have said from the get go that the pictures were disturbing. |

From where he got it all though...they knew kevin was in the pictures and the context of where it came from...

Very true!! |

That is a good question and one to which I would like an answer. Perhaps the best point made in this entire thread.

Don't see any breaking down your doors. And Mensa sure wouldn't have someone with a 63 IQ such as yours.
