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 have a separate thread on Drew that I started because I wanted to know what to do about a situation. I didn't give his info in the topic title and thus, if someone does a search by topic title to find out about him, it may not show up and I want to warn them through this separate thread.
Drew Kosdi - now of gator reptiles since he has moved - is not worthy of your business. To quote a well respected person in this business who emailed me privately to express his concern after reading the previous thread: "You got hosed big time". I responded to this with "yeah, i think hosed would be the appropriate word. but you're right, i stood in front of the faucet and turned my back and dared him." And another email from another well respected person in this business: "He knew that animal was a beat up fresh import." and "That guy Drew is a jerk and he should have his ass kicked for taking advantage of you."
Yeah, I know now that I should have trusted my instincts which told me that Drew was not trustworthy, but I didn't. And, I "got hosed big time" for it too. I believed and trusted Drew because he said he had "20 years experience". I thought that after 20 years, he would know what a snake in perfect condition was. So, he either lied about how long he has been around and doesn't know an iguana from a corn snake, or he just lies to make money. Either way, stay far far away from him.
Here is Drew’s information in case you need it for reference:
Andrew (Drew) Kosdi
Gator Reptiles
8500 Belcher Rd
Pinellas Park, FL 33781
Email: GATORREPTILES@aol.com also used to go by junglefever123@aol.com
Phone: 727-545-2898
Click here to see the original thread By clicking there, you will see all of the emails that were sent between Drew and I to make this deal. You will also see the resolution and how he handled himself.
As I said to end that thread, I have given you the information, make up your own mind.
Regards,
Jonathan Brady

It is really hard to put in terms how I feel about this post. I really think you have serious problems, not with your deals...., but in your head.
You mixing everything together, denying facts, and talking out of your .....ss!
Please let me introduce myself: I'm Andrew Kosdi sr, and I newer-ewer had anything to do with you. I don't know you/thanks God/and you don't know me.
The person you dealt with is my son Drew Kosdi.
He definitely made some mistakes, but the biggest is making a deal with a very insecure, unreasonable person, like yourself.
There is three person live in Florida with a same name pal, and you had a deal with the forth one.

what?? spam_ok, now i'm really confused...
ok, let me get this straight...
i made a deal with the fourth out of three people with the same name in florida. spam_first, second, fourth? spam_right?
and what facts am i mixing up? spam_i posted the emails word for word. spam_how can i mix something up when i post something word for word as someone else typed it?
and did you just admit that your son made some mistakes in this deal? spam_because that's more than he could do.
ok, the only thing i got from this is that you go by andrew and your son goes by drew? spam_and you both sell under the business name "gator reptiles". spam_if that is the case, then the only thing i mixed up is junior and senior and i didn't even know about junior and senior because he never signed his name junior. spam_so, for that, i do apologize.
so, i assume that the email junglefever123@aol.com is you, and the email gatorreptiles@aol.com is your son. spam_so, if that is correct, i'm sorry. spam_i searched the classifieds last month and came across both for the business name gator reptiles, so i assumed that since they were both gator reptiles and both under the name of either (and i don't remember if this is right or not) andrew or drew kosdi, that they were the same person. spam_so, again, if i mixed that up, i'm sorry. spam_there was no way for me to know. spam_one of my good friends is named andrew and i and everyone else commonly call him by andrew and drew. spam_my name is jonathan and people commonly call me jon (actually, more so that i hear jonathan). spam_so, again, honest mistake.
and as for your attacks on my personality and mental stability, i'll just leave those alone because attacks and counterattacks on personality have no merit here and just serve to undermine the facts. spam_if you would like to discuss how i handle myself and my mental stability (or your perceived lack thereof), take it up with me privately. spam_my email is below.
i still don't know what to make of the reply to my post...???
regards

oh, and not to be picky, but in the response to my other thread when i asked for advice about this situation, it was "Drew" who responded under the account name of gatorreptiles. spam_now, under this thread, it's "Andrew". spam_so, are you both using the same account? spam_or are you in fact the same person (one of three (4)) and you're trying to shirk responsibility?
this really has me confused...
oh well. spam_i guess i'm done with this. spam_i didn't sign on for [iI]this[/i] situation when i contacted "drew". spam_it's a little too deep...
again, thanks for the lesson learned. i'm used to paying for school, so i guess in the end, it was worth the $60...

Yes, you are very confused, and simpleminded.
Drew using this screen name, first because this was created only for the reptile hobby,
to buy, sell, trade animals. And for your information his wife, and his brother use it too!
Anyway it's time to have a life pal!

AN-DREW,
</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td> Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Yes, you are very confused, and simpleminded.
</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
And what are you? Here's a clue: Five letter word, starts with the letter " L", has the letters " OSE" in the middle, and ends with the letter " R".

So if we trace your IP address, will it come back to some trendy little cyber-cafe then??

I'm so glad that you can come on here and publically admit your flaws. Looks like it's time for you to be off to see The Wizard. When you meet him, feel free to ask him for a life. I'm sure he won't mind.
