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.

Sure looks like Kevin Patrick has been busy scamming. One may be an accident but three, in short time, (along with a "disappearing act"), does not appear accidental.
I hope Paypal will side, with you both, due to "product not as described". However, Paypal tends to get involved, in animal related cases, only if there is non-receipt of anything.
If payment was made with a credit card, going through your cc company would be your best bet.
You could go through your bank, as well, if cc card is linked to your bank or if money came out of your bank account.

Yea, well he just emailed me back and said that he bought her as a female and he proved her and it was a female. I told him that it's a male and it's been proven. I told him to just return my money and send me a return label and I'll send him his snake back. We shall see what happens.

He won't even respond to my e:mails but did respond to paypal dispute.
He escalated the dispute and this was his response:
4/10/2015 18:38 PDT - PayPal: Seller escalated this dispute to a Claim.
4/10/2015 18:38 PDT - Seller: animals were purchased as female so they were sold as female. i request this fraudulent claim be dismissed at once.
Now, if he were an honest business man, don't you think he would have e:mailed me back personally to fix this?
He sent me two males as females, he knew 100% just what he was doing.

By the way, he even advertised the Candycane as a "proven" female ready to be put with a male and bred.
He's a true con artist.

I've only had to do this a handful of times, and never for animals.
Amazing how I can receive much higher dollar shipments from both Rich Hume and Don Soderberg within the same time frame, and you don't see me on here complaining or doing a paypal dispute. That's because they're honest business men.
This Kevin Patrick is ripping people off by advertising females, and making much higher profits. This is definitely intentional on his part.
If you haven't filed a paypal claim yet, I'd highly encourage you to do so.
The more of us that have been screwed over by him, paypal will have to take notice, and I for one would like to get my money back.

I posted the link in response to my dispute in paypal, but... Whenever seller escalates it to a claim, neither party (buyer or seller) can post anymore replies.
