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.

If it is not the sex she bought I want it back and I will send her the male she paid for. and of course I will cover the shipping costs.

Ed,
Did Nicole send you the Vet invoices and proof that the vet probed it as a female??? I'm curious about that.
Sorry for my first post being so totally bloody confusing. Good freaking lord.

actually the OP said that the Vet did not probe the snake. The vet judged the sex off of scales. Ill find the post real quick and quote it cause i do not remember exactly how it was worded.

Ever think that he might have shipped in this weather in spite of "knowing better" to COVER the fact that the snake already had an R.I. (that would also cover the missex issue) Just wanted to get the sick snake out of his collection and hopefully some sap would take it to the vet ?
By shipping this way and claiming he did what the buyer wanted although he did know better..he dodges a bullet when people attibute the illness to the weather...
Just saying

It's a tough call.

Thanks for correcting me and your right... its a tough call.

found it post number 15

And again he says IF the animal is missexed. There is no IF I gave him documentation from the veterinarian. The phone number is on the receipts. You may call him an inquire, this is most definately a female. 3 subcaudal scales, no more.

That is how the vet diagnosed the sex issue.
now i do not know if snakes are like dragons but with bearded dragons some people rely on preanal pours to determine sex which can give a false reading on sex. i wonder if this would not be the same possibility in snakes.

I notified Mr. Clark of this on 1/14/09, also sending him receipts and a copy of the records indicating the snake is a female.

As far as I know counting the scales when probing is how you know. How deep the probe goes. So by Nicole saying "3 subcaudal scales" that means the probe only went in 3 subcaudal scales which makes it a female.
