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.

Anyone dealt with Snakes at Sunset recently?
And no, it's not Amir Soleymani; they are under new ownership. We just sent money for a snake assuming we were dealing with Amir but the reply was that he didn't own the store anymore. I sent an e-mail asking who the new owner is but I have yet to hear about it. I'll let you all know how it goes.
Thanks,
Dan

If you are on ks you may be able to find out who it is.

Anyways, I already sent my money and I know it has been delivered. The order was made to Snakes at Sunset as per their request.
Thanks,
Dan

Snakes At Sunset is under new ownership and is being managed/operated by Michael Barrera aka Mike Barrera. Look him up and I think you'll see you are in good hands. I have purchased 3 animals from him recently and was very happy with the transactions. No worries, Dan.

I have received three orders from Snakes at Sunset this summer.The last one Sept 26 all three were what they were supposed to be.they arrived on time and were packed properly.all animals are healthy and doing great.I will buy from them again without hesitation if they have something that i am interested in.So far my experience with Mike has been as good as my dealings with Ben Siegel

It seemed they where too busy for me and I hate companies that put them selves first instead of the customer. It seems everyone that imports Bps here are too greedy here in miami and wont let normals have a peek at what they have.
As for Mike I dont think youll go wrong though. He has too much at stake to rip you off. He has a store, and he does internet sales through KS, so your good. I doubt he wants too lose everything

too much to loose..
As one of the guys who had Federal Agents show up on his doorstep because of some torts he bought off kingsnake that originated from these people , I can say it is no fun. Nothing like being interrogated and mildly threatened in your own home with your own LEGAL animals being scrutinized.
These were a gift for my now wife that I purchased as CB in good faith..one died right off the bat the other had many problems..I guess to some this is ok that this crap went on!! That scary little visit probably took 5 years off my life.
I wonder how many animals died because of this!!

Except that is not enough for me. I like to know who I am dealing with, and my mistake was to assume it was Soleymani (in fact I replied addressing him as Amir). The ball python is set to arrive on Tuesday.
Thanks
