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.

Like the fact that you're using a fake name and vague location. Even if you messaged me right now and sent me your driver's license, social security card, and medical history, I would still wonder why you felt the need to hide your real name in the first place. It does not make me comfortable proceeding in business with someone who behaves in such a manner.

This sounds like the forwards from my elderly relatives when they first figured out how to use the internet and email. Paranoia, fear mongering, and ignorance of the fact that a phone book (remember those?) provides more information than the profile here.
Unlike the phone book, if you don't like the terms, don't register. It really is that simple.

I said this a while ago and then got caught up :P. I'm over it, either you post your info or you leave in 24 hours.

The fact of the matter is, I have nothing to hide. I am completely transparent with people because that's the sort of business I believe in.
I have had people who I have never spoken with call me or email me with questions about snakes. It has never been an issue. If they're looking to buy, I usually tell them to text me or email me with details (so that it is documented), but there is absolutely no need for someone to send me a formal message first to introduce themselves. I don't need to know someone's life story to give them a snake, I just won't deal with someone that sounds fishy from the get go. That's all there is to it.

And thats what I am saying. If it was a normal business transaction. All this Forum etiquette would be unnecessary. I simply joined to look for HELP in finding what I was in search of since al the breeders I have dealt with have had none or no leads to assist with. Some of them even have the right snakes on their site, but then claim they do not have it and that there is a mistake on the site. Months go by and they are still advertising the same thing I am trying to buy, but they do not have it.
I do business in the real world and on the net. People know who I am when they want to do business with me.
I HAVE been a victim of Identity and financial theft and why I am concerned with it here on an open board. Go through it once, it stays there your whole life. Try getting the equity back on a house that a second mortgage was taken out on fraudulently.
Everything seems well and fine until the bad happens. It should be the users choice and then the sellers choice wether to do business with the said user.

Really nice collection. Your projects are turning out nicely.

Thank you, we have some pairings coming up this season that I'm really excited about.
This forum really is a great place for information or to build up a business relationship, I encourage you to reconsider your stance. Providing your name and location will not make you susceptible to anything more than a phone book would, as Alexander stated previously.

I was reading about the pairings. Interesting stuff. Not setup at all in my house for anything breeding. Wanted to have some snakes for my daughters. They Love the all white snakes and all black. We helped a local rescue with a rat snake recently. They absolutely loved it. Fast, great temperament. The neighbor has a boa, they were not into it at all.

Anyways, was not my intention to cause waves. My apologies to all. Just wanted a fair shake at finding my daughters a couple new 'friends' to take care of without putting our perceived privacy out there.

Rich, you must know the risks of the information you want all of the users to display. There is no way you can't know. At 65 (displayed age) there is no way you don't watch the news and see the risks the news people even say not to use!!! Let alone the police!
I am not one of these ponzi importer scammers. I am a local guy wanting to get a couple inexpensive snakes for his daughters,.

My suggestion to you is that if you fear so much about such things, then get off of the internet and stay off.
As for actual risks, heck with the number of bad guys that have gotten deep sixed because I run this site and keep it running, you would think that if anyone were going to be a target for identity theft, that would be me. But has not happened. Heck, if someone wants to be me and have the headaches I have here, have at it. But don't bother me when you want out again.

Are you really that naive? You truly believe that no one has ever gotten scammed using PayPal?
Spend some time reading the Board Of Inquiry, fella, and see just how wrong you are about that.
