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.

Mason Walters/William McDanell/Pat Bokhorst/814-558-8980 Jerked Me Around/Stood Up
Somebody contacted me thru this site and spent 2 weeks corresponding about a snake I have for sale. We made arrangements to meet up at Hamburg this past Saturday, I spent 6 hours total going out of my way and they never showed up and began ignoring my texts as soon as I said I had arrived there to meet. We had corresponded all morning and they confirmed they would meet me at the pre-arranged time. Pisses me off and I wanna figure out who they are, Google searches have now opened up a mystery.
They told me I was talking to Mason Walters, from Kane, PA, from phone number 814-558-8980. Didn't have any reason to question it. Now when I Google the phone number it links to 90-year old William R. McDannell from Cairnbrook, PA and also to Pat Bokhorst from Bradford, PA. Neither town is near Kane. It also returns ads for crossbows and shotguns on a hunting website, but no profile to view to find further information on the seller.
So basically, some anonymous jerkoff wasted 2 weeks of their own time and mine just to blow my entire Saturday and annoy me. Posting this as a notice and some history to show up in searches if anybody goes looking, because there's currently no other record on Fauna of those names or the phone number. Dodging imbeciles in the reptile hobby/"community"/group of sideshow rejects - can become a full-time job, if you let it.

That sucks big time! What would motivate someone to do that? Maybe their mom would not let them borrow the car, and they were to embarrassed?? Well, hopefully you enjoyed the show, I would hate to give them the satisfaction of knowing otherwise.

Ha, yeah who knows what drives these nimrods. He/she/they asked me right as I was leaving if I knew of any locations of their personal bank in Hamburg. I said I didn't because I'm only up there as often as they are, didn't even think about the correlation that they may be having cash issues. Then said I was on my way, they said "ok", and that was the last contact I got. Could have easily told me what was going on so I didn't waste my entire day driving. But actually yeah, the show had some nice stuff. I was looking for rattlers, which were pretty abundant, but I didn't see anything I really needed to have. The only thing that made it worthwhile was that it was my girlfriend's first reptile show so we actually had a really cool day together...but still.

This is a Facebook profile for that person. Might be of use to you in connecting dots later if the name on the profile is not fake as well.

Please desist with the derogatory name-calling. Even if it might be well-earned, we try to have things a step above that here. Thanks.

Regardless of anyone being "a-skeered" or not, we are guests in another man's house.

Those big ol' meanie words have cost me a good bit of infraction points and suspensions, one that lasted a year. I deserved them. That being said, this site works for good guys and I truly think you're an asset to the reptile community. Stick around bud, and thanks for the heads up here.
