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.

Thank you for posting this Shannon. Hopefully this can be brought to light as what a real bad guy looks like.
I hope this thread gets a bit more attention, but it's not as exciting as controversial threads since there is clearly nothing to argue with. He is obviously bad news.
I just want to comment that I have had corn snakes go off feed during breeding season not much larger than that snow was originally, and it didn't lose a quarter that snake lost in 3 months (longest I have seen). IMO in order for that animal to have deteriorated to that extent it would have had to be starved for a year or more.

I wonder if anyone here will recognize some of those pics on his website, because I highly doubt he owns those photos and I doubt he even owns a Pied. If he did, it would be a patchy, emaciated mess with stuck shed and a wheezing RI.
I am no expert on specific legal issues about using photos not belonging to him (potentially without consent) for a website advertising a for-profit business, but I would think the animal owner and/or photographer would not want their property associated with such a scumbag.

Ouch. Those look like species picked up from reptile rescues. Ball python, savannah monitor, green iguanas, albino cornsnake, spur-thighed tortoise. Commonly kept species that often end up as disposable pets. He may "rescue" them for next to nothing and use them for his "educational shows". When they die or get too sick to continue, he gets some more. Ouch.

Left click on the image you are looking up, for instance, the pied. Click on 'copy image address'.
Go to http://www.tineye.com
Put in the image address
This will show you where else this picture is.
If he does not have permission to use this photo:

I don't know if he actually has seen this or not. As of now he hasn't read my message to him but that's probably because his inbox is blown up. If anyone else could message him about this thread so that we are sure he is aware I'd appreciate it. He posted this morning that he is doing some serious cage cleaning today but still using newspaper as its cheap and easy to clean.
Sigh.

Sorry but if thats how you care for animals, you have no business keeping them.

Wow, this thread is very tragic. That person should re-home everything, and never keep another animal again.
