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.

Steve Schaffner or SSchaffner scammed me
So I was hoping I wasnt going to have to post this, but unfortunately it looks like I have no choice. Steve Schaffner or Steve DeSc
I purchases a CBB Southern Scrub python from Steve DeSc off Fauna classifieds for $375 total shipped on August 5th. He told me snake was eating good, around 9 months old etc.
I tried getting him to setup shipping numerous times and there was always an excuse. He told me it was too hot, (which could be valid, but he said he had cryo packs), I shipped out to MD, where he is from and my snakes made it there fine, but it was too hot for him to ship. Seemed a little shady.
Anyways, the excuses kept coming and coming. Finally we agree to ship on Tuesday August 14th for Wednesday August 15th delivery. I message him on the 15th all day, zero response. Finally someone responds telling me Steve is with his case worker or some bullshit and that he will be home later in the evening.
Supposedly Steve gets home and starts messaging me that he is sorry, blah blah, he was locked up and all this bullshit that he will make it right. I say i understand man, just look at it from my point of view, it looks and feels just like a scam. He tells me gets paid Friday and will pay me then. I said OK cool. That works.
So Saturday rolls around, he tells me he hasn't been paid and that he cant give me a refund when he doesn't have the money. He shows me screenshots of his paypal account $6000 in the hole. The screenshots are all there, I am a pretty reasonable guy, shit comes up and I understand, I just ask to be kept in the loop,
I work hard for my money, like most people do. After his last text message too me I send him another stating to just send me the snake if he cant pay, ill sell her myself or something to get my money back, but I haven't heard from him as of yet.

Being in jail and being $6k in debt are obviously not the practices of an honest seller....what method did you pay with? I hope you can get a refund quickly.
Not shipping due to heat is a legit excuse, but the seller kind of blew that with the whole jail thing.

Yea seeing him in the hole $6000 i doubt I will be getting my money back. I know about shipping in the heat, but I ship out ALOT of snakes throughout the year, and he could of shipped her, just refused too.

More lied from Steven. He sent me a "refund" through PayPal and assured me it was going to go through. Even though I was skeptical because of his negative $6000 paypal account. Well surprise that the day it should of cleared, it didnt. Now he is giving me excuses that his bank thought it was fraud, and that they got it figured out. I doubt it, its probably more lies.
