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 am not sure if you got my email, I wanted to send you a postal money order, I wanted to do that just in case you are ripping people off, the post office is a little quicker to respond. I am not accusing you, just protecting myself. Also did you use the screen name chondro5 on here at one time? Just wondering. Craig Kade

When I first read this post, the offer seemed too good to be true. After a closer look, I realized the first photo seemed VERY familiar...and it is in fact somewhere else on the internet. The first photo of the snow being offered for sale in this ad is a picture from Ralph Davis' website...
http://www.ralphdavisreptiles.com/co...s/snow_boa.asp
Not sure what is going on here and I don't want to accuse anyone of anything without knowing more facts...all I'm saying is BUYER BEWARE.
I've contacted Ralph Davis about this thread...

Good catch Celia. It casts a whole new light on this ad, doesn't it?!

I'm doing some checking and will be posting about this, one way or the other, this evening. My gut instinct is that it will go "one way" rather than "the other."

http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...&postid=116118
oh yeah I locked this thread so only the webmaster and the mods can reply
pavel jonsich = psychochondro@yahoo.com = sacramento cali
paul johnson = arboreals@yahoo.com = sacramento cali
pavel left a good input for Paul on the BOI....
Come on. You should make things a little harder

I was thinking to myself
I was thinking
"Gosh darn it Ritchie you jumped the gun again. Maybe he bought the animal from Ralph and Ralph sent those pictures with the animal."
So I went to Ralph site.
I am glad Ralph site says the animal in the picture was born in 1999
It means I was not wrong about your scamming butt

Since we are all pretty sure this is a ripoff I will add what I know, It can be backed up with emails also. First he wanted the me to overnight him $1500 CASH, then he would send the snake.LOL, I was quick to jump on that. Then I checked his other posts, saw he had posted for paul johnson, who also lives in Sacremento. He signed his emails Paul. Another no Brainer. Just for giggles I did a white pages check for pavel jonsich, guess what? None in the country, however paul johnson had like 20 listings in Sacremento.I then emailed him to say I would take it if he would accept a postal money order overnight, I told him that they were quicker to prosecute mail fraud. I still have not heard from him. Even though I did want a deal on a snow boa, I am kinda glad this was a scam, I would hate to think that when I produce them in July I would only be looking at getting $3000 ea. Moderators, could we get this moved to BOI or do we need to start fresh over there?? Craig, almost got ripped off again, Kade

I just wanted to post that I heard back from Ralph Davis and he has no idea who this person is...so it seems like this IS in fact a scam!
Once again...if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

It would need to be started fresh on the BOI. If a thread is indeed started on the BOI, I'll be locking this one down so as to keep everything in one place.
As an aside, this individual has a dynamic ip address, so it changes from post to post. Both accounts do originate from the same internet service provider, however. Keep in mind that that can be merely coincidental, though.
The stolen pics, on the other hand, are a 100% certainty.
