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.

Northwest Florida Herp?
Hello Everybody,
I am posting on this BOI for the first time to see if anybody knows anything about this guy that goes by the name of Northwest Florida Herp? I sold him some dragons last year and never had any problems with him so I couldn't even remember for sure if he was the same person I sold to when I first saw him post ads on Kingsnake. But low and belong he has some of the babies I sold him for sale and has mentioned my name in there bloodlines. I wasn't bothered at first when he didn't answer my e-mails. Which I just wrote him to say hello and see how all of his dragons where doing. Its none of my business if he wishs to sell them later but I was just trying to be nice and say hi. Well I never heard back from him so I thought maybe he is just a busy person and take a good bit of time to get back to you. Like 2 months time. But when he placed a dragon on KS that I sold him and is selling it with the wrong info I e-mailed him again. I don't know if I maybe over reacting about this whole matter but I am 100% certain that he is wrong about its linage and I believe that the buyers have the right to know the correct info. And also if they were buying to breed later. Well I feel that I have given him plenty of time to write back but have still heard nothing. He is selling one of our 100% het trans saying its from Dachiu lines. I think he is just being forgetful since I did sell him a trans we produced that was in fact from a Dachiu het female that was lent to us by Vickie and Rob Dachiu. But the 100% het trans he has up is from my own lines and doesn't have a lick or Dachiu blood in it. I think as a breeder ppl should know this. I also know he is getting my e-mails and ignoring them while still posting the wrong information. I wrote him a very nice e-mail saying I think he could be mistaken. I was as polite as I could be and didn't set a "I know your wrong" tone to it. Long story short if anybody knows about this gentlemen or has had past dealing with him please let me know. Tell me am I going over board with this? I do have a tendency to do that with all my pets and things in general so I need some outside opinions on this matter.
Thanks
-Amy

Amy, I don't think that you are. You believe that he is misrepresenting animals and you have informed him of that fact. He has chosen to ignore you. Bringing it here may help potential buyers out.
Send him one last email with a link to this thread and be prepared to document exactly what you have claimed.

Yes you are way overboard on this
I know this guy well enough.Iv done a bunch of deals with him.Just for kicks i looked on KS and didn't see what you were talking about.My guess is if you wanted to buy something you would have got an email.I'm sure he like all of us has more emails in a day then we have time to look at.That being said he may of looked at it and changed it but had no reason to email you.Let me say the guy can be a real jerk in a lot of ways.I would tell you but i don't have all day to make the list but when it comes to being honest( most of the time to honest) he is.In the years that iv done deals with him iv always come out well. I do know he ships all over the world and works with many kinds of reptiles.This year he got some kind of cobras to breed in captivity that had never done that before .He had albino tree frogs breed.He has had snakes on national geographic has some other cool stuff in the works.Eather way he is a smart A.. and not always nice.He keeps to him self and i think he just doesn't like many people.Come to think of it why do I buy stuff from this guy lol.

Thank you for your opinion about this whole thing. I just think there has been a big misunderstanding. Kenny has taken down the ads and all is well. I am sorry if I did go over board but in all honesty I didn't know Kenny was Northwest. I do know him personally already and I just see so many names out there. And its been so long that I totally forgot that was his business name. I think I may have been hinting at being rude in that first message more so because I didn't recall it was him and from there I was frustrated being I was e-mail this random person and never got back a response. Now I know why and im sorry to Kenny for being rude or even hinting at it in my e-mails or on that message. He is a good guy and like I said I do sometimes go over board about this matters. I am a big person on sells and bloodline info so I get carried away all the time when I see so many people mislabel there dragons. I of course never say much about it because there not directly from me and so I am not involved in that way. Either way it was a misunderstanding and I went a bit over board my apologies.
