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.

Kevin,
All due respect, but this proof you've shown is not Tony Hurt, the Tony Hurt from Arlington, Texas we all know.
I'm willing to bet that someone stole the pics off KS and posted them "snakes" in an auction on Reptibid.
Tony Hurt from Arlington , Texas is a stand up guy.
There is definately more to this story I'm sure.

I'd say it's Mr. Pedro Guerra, who is the fraud here, Kevin. The newspaper the snake in question has for its viv lining is clearly from Texas, if you look closely enough. On the other hand, Mr. Guerra lives in Florida, supposedly.
I would also suggest that Tony Hurt has done nothing except be a victim of photo theft, and that you probably ought to have the Webslave modify this thread's title to reflect that. A public statement regarding Tony's lack of complicity in all of this wouldn't hurt (no pun intended!) either.

I totally agrre that this post should be changed, atleast the title. You are calling Tony Hurt out for being a victom. Anyone scanning through the BOI will now forever see his name with a bad guy post. I think everyone should be more careful when posting bad guy posts. There was no proof, or reason to believe that Tony did anything wrong. I strongly feel that Tony is one of the great guys in the industry. He has quality animals, and is very easy to work with. Please be cautious when posting bad guy reports on good guys. It may come back to bite you in the a@@ oneday.

Reptibid
I think it would be helpfull if a number of people emailed reptibid about this fraud issue.
Reptibid are more likely to take action if they get multiple emails about it.

Whats up with this?
I logged on today to find this going on.
The female brazilian in the picture is one of my prized breeders. Everything in my collection is for sell at a PRICE and this one would be very high.
I have only posted her picture to show what the adults to the babies Im selling look like. As for Kevin, he does not need to become the judge and jury for a event like this before the facts are known. I work very hard to treat people just like I would want to be treated if I were buying or selling a snake. Picture fraud goes on all the time and will continue to go on.
Just dont accuss people of fraud before you talk to them. I have not recieved a email from Kevin all day and my phone # is on my ad so Im not that hard to get hold of.
I will attach of pic of the same female breeder taken on around 6/5/04.
Thanks Tony Hurt 817-312-5532
