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.

Someone needs to do something....man giving away KING COBRA on Craigslist
Was cruising Craigslist ads this morning, and came across an ad for a free King Cobra on Craigslist. Of course, in the text of the ad, the guy claims he's "really nice, and had been de-venomed so he can't kill you".
I've sent a polite message to the guy, trying to explain the finer points of the dangers of what he's posted, but I doubt I will get any kind of positive response. Is there anyone with the proper knowledge of these animals in the Minneapolis area that can possibly do something with this animal??? I'll include the text of the ad, in case it gets flagged off from Craigslist. I hope this isn't inappropriate to post this, I am not posting it as an "ad" as such", I'm just trying to avoid this snake from getting into the wrong hands and a tragedy happening....

Where was that add posted? What region of the US.
I responded to the addy in this post asking whether or not this was serious or an attempt at humor.
I immediately thought some things were possible when I saw this.....
1. poor judgement and an irresponsible owner at the least.
2. law enforcement sting operation
3. someone thought it was funny
4. adenductomy should be an illegal procedure.....
Anyway sent off an email....we will see what the reply, if any is.....

You see some scary stuff on CL, that's for sure.
I just read an ad yesterday that said "13ft male burmese python- very docile, Great with Kids." I can only hope that's a joke.

This really smells of that Charles Schuck III or whatever his name was.

Mark, there was a pic included with the ad of what I assumed to be the owner handling the snake on a hook....and he was not Chuck, however I can see this being the kind of thing good ol Chuck would pull on someone, selling them and telling them it was nice and wouldn't hurt them unless they stuck their finger in his mouth. Never thought of it, but it IS the right location t be one of Chuckie's associates or unfortunate customers.
RCampbell, it was in the Minneapolis Craigslist, which would be why I asked if there was anyone in the Minneapolis area who could get to this guy.
I never got any response to the email I sent him.
