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.

Your reply seems a bit underwhelming. A 24 hour guarantee is fine, as a health guarantee, shipping guarantee, live arrival guarantee, but if an animal does not eat, ever, and dies, how is that not your fault, at least partially. Yeah, if they guy force fed it, that might have had something to do with the snake's death, but if a snake is not eating, and you are not returning his emails, what is a guy supposed to do? It looks like you owe him a snake!

I just spoke to John after seeing the thread. Ryan, I do feel for your loss here to. I will say regardless of the Academy on Johns Part, a commitment is a commitment. Being formerly certified in Law Enforcement, I do know what John is saying on the academy however even cadets have alot of weekends off. I am talking this out with John as a friend from my home town to sort the issue peacefully. John at this moment is calling someone to try to get a super pastel if he can and asked me if I can find one that will meet your satisfaction. I don't know the full past between Mr. Corey Woods by any chance with John, however when I seen Corey has posted and I have complete respect for him, it sparked my attention. Now Ryan, I don't know you by any means, but if I can locate one to meet your satisfaction from a reptable breeder. Would this settle everything between you all? I am not sure if I can, but I would be willing to do my best at no cost under the contracts that I have.

Please keep in mind Ryan, If I locate one that meets your satisfaction, John would need not only need to pay but pay shipping too.

John,
Seems a little more than an inquiry. I've never heard of Matt Goldman.

I understand you have never heard of him but that's not what the bunch of lies told me. I was told to seal the deal and then he'd take care of it. A lot of crap went down with him but that's another story. I am sorry for that! I don't typically inquiry on an animal and then take off. I don't say I'll purchase an animal and don't follow through. Again, I'm sorry.

Well John, long time no talk. Don't play off like you didn't check your e-mail or change your phone number. You knew all about it and did nothing. Of course after tons of e-mails and calls to a phone number that was no longer in service, you would be a little more then upset. You knew of the issues of feeding prior to selling me the animal, hence the e-mail you sent to me and your past reply on this forum. I bought an animal that was supposed to have no feeding issues, an animal the you assist fed, an animal with issues. Yes I contacted you after I got it, and I was happy it was a very sharp looking animal. I also kept in contact with you about the feeding issue I had with him. You knew about it, you even sent an e-mail stating so, as I posted. You chose after that to not make things right.
I am not some kid who doesn't know what I'm doing. I have been working with reptiles since I have been a kid. I have worked at the Chicago Reptile House for 14 years, I have been keeping and breeding a collection of 60 + ball pythons for several years now. I very familiar with the feeding habits of ball pythons, but when an animal after three weeks can barley lift his head from malnourishment, to me that animal has not eaten in a very long time. That is why I was forced to force feed him.
John, you screwed up, it wasn't like this was new news to you. You sold an animal with a feeding issues, even though it may have ate for you? It had a history. People make mistakes, but you have to make them right. If you don't have the means of making them right, then guess what. YOU SHOULD BE SELLING ANIMALS!!!!!!

Rick, I appreciate you opening your resources to help out with this situation. The ball is in John's court now, and John should make it right. Not only have I lost an animal but I have lost 6 months. As most people know who are into Ball Python thats a good amount of time for a male. As Sammy and I know that is a lot of grams lost.

I have known John for a few years now myself, and even dealt with him. In all the time I have known him and in dealings with him everything has always gone very smoothly without a hitch. Obviously there have been some problems not only with the super pastel passing, but also on Corey's end of things from another dealing. I know from years of experience if something is feeding for one person at their residence it does not always guarantee that after shipping it will feed for someone else, but also in my experience a typically healthy animal will not starve itself to death. He should have come up front that the animal did get off to a rocky start though, his fault for leaving that bit of very valueable information out. Hatching out quite a few ball babies each season here we always will have a few who take some time to really take off on their own, it happens.
I am really hoping that matters can be resolved both with the super pastel and if anything can be done to resolve Corey's situation with John.
Good luck to all parties involved.
