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.

Ripoff Artist On Reptibid>com
I was looking at NERD's website at their Blood pythons for sale and at the bottom of that page they have some WC bloods sumatran and Bangkas. So then I went to Reptibid.com and looked under pythons and saw about 3 of the same Bloods for sale by some guy in NY. click on the AD for the one that reads "male sumatran blood" its a NICE stripped one..anyways..once on that ad click on ask seller question and view..this guy claims he bred these and CLEARLY on NERD's site they say WC...BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!!

Its definately the Same Blood NERD has listed, the seller even has the nerve to quote " Talk about STRIPES!!! Perfect gold dorsal stripe on dark, rich red background with striped/patternless laterals" exactly from NERDS site,lol.
It is possible (probably not) that he purchased this snake from NERD, but he is definately misrepresenting the snake as CBB.
This should also be a sign of the scam...

Thanks to those who brought this fraud to our attention - we've been out of town for several days & were certainly surprised to see our snakes for sale by an unauthorized party.
I'm currently in the process of contacting Reptibid to have this seller removed and pursue this legally if necessary.

hmmmmm maybe it's just me but i find it a little odd that there is another posting on the BOI titled venomous dealers beware and the guy he is inquiring about also comes from brooklyn NY. Also, I looked up funs00 profile on aol and again same icon with no profile. I don't know if any of this helps but just just thought i'd add this info.
