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've seen alot of postings in classifieds concerning this user, so since no one else has taken the time to post here, this is an inquiry as to whether he is legit or not.

I saw one of his ads this morning - I think it was the only one he has with a posted image - it looked familiar, but I didn't have time to pursue just then.
Turns out it was an exact copy of another members ad, which was originally posted last year. (see screen captures, below)

Further investigation shows that his number is involved in scam ads for everything from dogs and parrots to steroids and Viagra.

Good catch. I'm wondering what the explanation will be. Anyone shoot him a PM?

The one I sent says Immediate Permanent Ban; so I doubt we'll get much of an explanation...

In retrospect, I probably should have gone through the motions of requiring that he prove his identity first...

This person is back - posting ads for ball pythons, this time - using the name Charles Holt. I deleted all but one of his ads...and I posted a message in that one. (I didn't remove them all, because I want something left for people that might use the search function.

Forgot to mention, his new location is listed as New Jersey (guess he moved this afternoon - good thing Pennsylvania is close, or he wouldn't have been able to get his ads posted).
New username is nassen20

Forgot to mention - Justin Burokas advised us that the reptilestud account used the name Charles Holt, with a Cali location, during their communication.
