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.

Okay not sure how to edit this.
These photos linked here were taken of Kris' reptile room.
A report has since been filed against him for neglect in Oregon by someone, unsure if anything has come of it.

I am beyond words like "disturbed" or "disgusted". "Horrified" comes much closer to describing the sick feeling in my stomach and tears in my eyes. Those poor, beautiful animals.
I'd like to see this Kris Smalley person forced to live in a 3x3x3 cube with nothing but a filthy water bowl and his own feces for company.

I wasn't sure what to even think when I opened this email. He's a fairly well known person in the Pacific NW. I can't even begin to imagine what those snakes are going through, what diseases and illnesses they have. I feel so saddened by this. I just feel lucky enough to not have snakes in my collection that were his.

Yes, those photos are disturbing. Horrible. Disgusting. They p%$ me off.
So, are you "flying.pygge" at Flickr? Who's photos are those, exactly?
Do you have anything other than some anonymous Flickr page of photos to prove those are photos of the snake room of someone named Kris Smalley?
And uh ... who is Kris Smalley?
As disgusting as those are, you gotta do better than link that page to make a case.
Unfortunately, your "reliable source" and someone who may or may not have filed a report for neglect is basically just hearsay and not proof of wrong-doing by somebody named Kris Smalley.

That is not my flicker account, no. It's someone that used to live with Kris.
Just someone that lives in Oregon and keeps reptiles.
I've witnessed that room before, so other than a couple peoples words and photos,nothing can "prove" it I guess.
I don't know how all this works, I just wanted to make this known to people. Was suggested by a friend.
Thanks and sorry if I'm doing it "wrong"

No words. None that wouldn't get me banned anyway.
You're not really doing anything "Wrong" as this is an information thread and not specifically a "Good Guy" or "Bad Guy" thread, but the reasons people are asking for evidence of this person is to avoid false information being spread.
There is no doubt whoever owns those animals is a pathetic excuse for a human being, but the name doesn't ring a bell with me and, evidently, no one else thus far. So, it always sparks a bit of curiosity.
That's all.

That's why I put it under information. I wasn't going to label it as anything else. Thanks for the input.
