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.

Thanks for putting a name with this.
To let everyone know this is not me. I had a run in with this person but it was resolved. If you have seen his ads you know why I had a run in. But like I said it has been resolved and he now puts his name on his ads.
Thanks.

Other then that I have never heard of this person. He told me in emails he has owned the name The Reptile Room for 15 years and 4 plus on KS. The name though was just registered Feb of this year. He also told me sense I did not know him I must be new to the hobby........................
If you would like the emails posted I will. I am not sure how much help they will be with your inquiry but there is a reason why I will not do business with this perso.

He is a venomoid dealer...... If you care anything about this hobby you should find a dealer that does not sell voids....... This ofcorse is just my opinion......
A void dealer is a bad dealer.......

He sales voids, that alone should give you a hint about this profit minded character. No respect for the hobby just for profits at any cost.
Just my personal rant as I have never heard anything positive nor negative about him. Only thing i know is the run in Gary had with him over the name thing.

Not looking to purchase a void, he has a dwarf red tail listed on KS that I was looking at, he says its 6 years old and 3 foot long, I want a boa, but nothing as big as a redtail, and was seeing if anyone has dealt with him, so I would know what to expect, or if the snake is really a dwarf, or just a young snake, THANKS FOR ALL REPLIES, Linda.

Young or stunted. I have heard of no dwarf species of redtails.
There are a few of the central american ones that stay fairly small and the hogg island ones as well.
Do a lot of research on this particular snake before you buy it. You might want to check out pete kahls site or brian sharps or some of the other big breeders and see if they have something new or some information.
You might even find a snake you like from someone you could trust.

he will over charge you and send you a sick animal. I've personally seen the pet store he lost, and the other areas where he has kept reptiles all are substandard. I've rescued several animals from his care. do your research and find an animal from a reputable dealer, one that guarantees their animals. I was told that at one time he was banned from Kingsnake but I'm not sure of the validity in that.
