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.

Bad Guys' In Colorado
HAs anyone ever dealt with the peeple at High preformance Herps? A friend of my ands myslef were looking for some Retics, and heard about them from another breeder in Colorado. My friend told me that HpH(its easier than typing the whole thing) was selling baby super tigers for $400.00, even though they have not eaten yet. Does this sound wrong to anyone else? I also been told that the owner is not very reliable when he says to call u back soon. Oh well I guess They are bad guys in the snake biz. Everyone else decide for your self.

Can't say I condone the practice but I have heard of breeders selling snakes right out of the egg/not feeding. Most are offered at a substantial discount off the price a feeding animal of the same type would sell for.
Personally I could never do it but it is done on occasion.

BTW, I have never heard of HpH so don't blame the state just the breeder.

I have heard of alot of breeders selling out of the egg. Usually it's ones that are harder to get feeding by nature and they offered a big discount but it's at your risk.
I can agree you should asnwer calls but some people aren't good at that.
Your comment about them being bad for the snake biz is laughable. YOu haven't dealt with them yet your here labeling them bad.
I guess when you if you start seklling someone should put up a silly post with your name in the title calling you a bad seller or buyer just because they felt like it.
If your making an inquiry make it, wait for replies and decide if you want to deal with them.. If you haven't had a transaction then why not keep the "bad for the snake biz" comments to yourself..

I wouldn't abbreviate it as HpH - it is too easy to confuse with HPH (aka High Plains Herpetoculture) which is also in CO.
And you are labeling them as bad guys without having done business with them? Based on somebody telling you they aren't good about calling back & that they are advertising snakes that haven't fed yet?
Have you even had any interaction with this company?
