Does not sound that you are very experienced then. Ever heard of Kathy Love, Susan Willis, Connie Hurley, Carol Huddleson or Michelle Heart? It's not what your gender is it's who you are.

Again it's who you are. You can call your business anything you want, but why you would hide the fact that you are female is deceptive and someone who is deceptive is not someone I would want to deal with.

I would hardly say you acted like a reasonable adult when you responded. Your reaction was that more resembling a kid. I would be surprised if you were over 20 years of age. I would be even more surprised if you have bred anything. You original post is more or less requesting a trade for corns for (except the ball python) snakes that sound as if they could be wild caught/collected, or do you breed ball pythons, yellow rat snakes, banded or brown water snakes, black racers, Florida red belly swamp snakes, ribbon snakes and ring neck snakes and are now wanting to expand your "business" into breeding corns as well?

Your right it is who I am, you are questioning my age and experience, just as people have questioned my gender in this business. I never denied my gender, all I did is put down the name reptile breeder for mainly myself plus the group of my co-workers. It shouldn't be my age that counts either. Thats a little hypocritical wouldn't you say? As for age goes I have a daughter who is 22. I've bred reptiles since I was a kid, but I did not go onto this site to prove my maturity which is a contradiction in itself. The ball pythons and rats are mine, the other ones are wild caught tame ones that is one of my co-workers, they have been wormed twice. You shouldn't jump to conclusions, I am not trying to breed corns. It's amazing how you can be so quick to judge from just a few words, you don't even know me.



Shipping DHL 2nd day air from FL to MA for a corn snake is 20.25 more or less. People have sold me corn snakes (captive bred) for $15-40. Online it's harder to find ones for $15 because their is a high demand for them.

If it wasn't for the human need to defend ourselves I wouldn't even be posting this, but I'll be the bigger person and not respond to anymore of these posts. I don't want any part of your so called maturity/experience meter.

Condoning shipping second day

Your claim that persons have problems with your age or gender will not be your downfall but the above will surly bring you down.

COndoning shipping through a carrier that does not allow snakes is even worse...its illegal!!!!!!

Wow......shipping 2nd day??? I thought maybe these guys were being a little tough on you until I read that. There isn't a reputable breeder that will ship a snake by second day.

Maybe before you begin calling yourself a "reptile breeder", you should take some time to stop and learn the proper way of taking care of the animals and the business. People not taking you seriously has NOTHING to do with you being female....I am reasonably new to this business, but I have gotten nothing but respect from the good guys and gals here, because I've done my best to learn the RIGHT way to do things, and admit it when I just don't know.

I count 6 posts by "thereptilebreeder" and not a single post with her? full name. Isn't there something in the TOS that a person is supposed to post their FULL NAME ?

On the warning list is says Failure to post FULL NAME in BOI - Warning Level 1 / Earns 1 warning point.

Eh, the key part of that warning is "in BOI", lol. I believe that's the ony place where you must have your full name listed.

Just remembered where I saw this name before.....she was the one wanting people to ship her dead snakes via USPS.

This is not the BOI. This is the Cornsnakes Classifieds.
