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.

I would not hesitate to buy an animal from Mindy's collection, nor would I hesitate to buy an animal from her workplace. Mistakes happen, with all of us, especially when we're starting out. As an experienced Veterinary Technician specializing in reptiles and exotics, I do not see any major red flags in this situation. If her animals were ill, they would be displaying far more symptoms, and most would be dead by now. Have I ever done a transaction with MJC? No, I haven't. But like I said before, I would not hesitate.

Scary. Especially given that you apparently ignore the fact that several known viruses have carrier states.

Taylor, you're 20 years old. A minute older than Mindy. I doubt you're THAT experienced as a VT.

I am not an expert in snake diseases, so please forgive if I am not asking correctly. If you have no idea what it was, and neither a test nor a necropsy was done, how do you know it wasn't IBD?

Mindy, just as my experience with you on FB, you have shown a fundamental lack of understanding of many things here. I don't even know where to begin. I've seen this trainwreck coming for a while and didn't know anything about BOI, just how she presented herself. She may love reptiles more than any "Unorthodox breeder" (What does that mean, anyway?) but that doesn't mean she has a clue about what she's doing with them. It's very apparent that she doesn't and she refuses to take any advice about how to handle situations with them. Unfortunately, she's going to continue to put other people's collections at risk because of her arrogance about her very, very questionable "knowledge". Good luck to the animals in your care, as they will obviously need it.

Also, explain your definition of "viral"? Because I don't know if that means what you think it means. IBD is very much viral, it's sorta in the name. Inclusion Bodies are basically how viruses multiply. Viral doesn't mean airborne. And just because it's not airborne doesn't mean it is not extremely contagious. And as mentioned, without a necropsy, you have no clue how any snake died.

No, she's truthful. At that age, you can't have but so much experience, it's just a matter of math.
