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.

Our herp club was set up right beside of them this weekend in Winston Salem NC. They were not selling animals there. They were raising money via photos withthe snake. I do not know much else other than they do not sell animals at our local shows and they do shows concerning reptile education at these same shows.

Today ccsbs true colors have shown. They are truly animal flippers and not a rescue. Today they were approached via telephone about a 4 foot boa with serious injuries from a rat. Not only would ccsb not take the snake they wouldn't even talk to the people calling and hung up on them twice. There's no money to be made on a truly sick or injured animal and so ccsb wanted nothing to do with it

I get CL spam in my city about this rescue as well. There were several snakes available on their website at one point that were well below market value, for pickup only. The prices were something like $50 for a retic at one point (and a disclaimer that you couldn't buy if you or anyone in your home was under the age of 18, iirc). They seem to be alright about rehoming, but there is nothing on their site stating that they are accredited and approved 501c3 charity.
If they do have the paperwork and accreditation, they are definitely encouraged to post it! As it stands they don't seem bad, just lacking legitimacy due to lack of actual charity/rescue accreditation. If they have it, I don't see it listed on their site.

They are not caring people. Look at the responses he gives. “I don’t have time for cry babies.” “I don’t have to justify myself.” And then straight into the boasts, “We are one of the biggest rescues on the eastern seaboard.” (He told me “in the US”). And about how he doesn’t have time because he is caring for so many sick animals. BUT he has time to post replies and be rude about anyone who may have criticized him. Does it really take more time to post copies of your certifications? I would think most honest people would jump at the chance to show their legitimacy, even preemptively.

Continued.
I have been to his “rescue” which is a small rented storefront (think like the size of a UPS store). So, he is not soooo big. In addition, the conditions were deplorable. I wish I could save them all. Really, what do you have to do to get your 501c? Turn in paperwork probably...so is there really anyone checking the legitimacy except us?
