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.

Ridiculous Reptiles (INQUIRY)
I'm considering purchasing 2 big breeder-size females from him and am just curious if anyone has done business with him? The prices he has them at are lower than I've seen girls for that size go for, so it raised a red flag in my mind. Especially because he says they are eating regularly and are healthy. He sent pics so I've seen the animals...but there's no guarantee those are the animals I'll recieve. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yea, I contacted them about a breeding trio of Argentine tegus they have on KS. I too would like to know about them. Has anyone ever dealt with them?
Here is the ad that I am looking at. http://market.kingsnake.com/detail.php?cat=53&de=414795
Thanks in advance.

To tell you the truth, the price is not that great, at just over $300.00 each plus shipping. But breeding size females are hard to find.
And as for the rest, well that is why I am asking if anyone has dealt with them before I would even think of sending them $1,000.00, Thus the reason for this Inquiry.

No. I just re-read the entire BOI rules thread and the only thing mentioned pertaining to links is that if you're using one as a support to your claim, it could end up being deleted on the other website and therefore leaving a dead link here. It was "strongly suggested" that any info needed as claim support be copy/pasted or posted as a screen shot image to prevent the loss of info.

A while ago they posted a CB "possible axanthic" for sale. Here's the thread:
http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...ulous+axanthic
In my opinion if it's a CB they should know if it's or not an axanthic. Although spontaneous mutations from two normal balls bred together can occurr, what are the odds?
As for the present ad of a 1.2 trio of adult balls for $1,000? I'll have to pass on that one. The male is probably worth $100 shipped at best, leaving two "potential" females of unknwown origin for $450 a piece. Not worth the risk IMO; as Jennifer very well stated too many red flags...
Regards.

Sorry, I didn't know there was another thread on this guy. I did a search, but that one didn't come up. I'm nixing this idea then...they always say, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." Thanks guys!

Greg, during your “vacation” Rich made a few changes in the rules. It’s still frowned upon but no warning points are given for it anymore. This is the new rule regarding links.

Addendum #1
Posting links to information on other websites.
As many of you know, quite a few other websites habitually and regularly will delete information on their sites for any number of reasons. If you are using that information to make your case about something you have posted on the BOI, once the source has been deleted, not only do we now have a dead link on this site, but all of the evidence you were offering is NOW gone. If that made up the sum total of your case you brought here, you are now just SOL.
As such, although it is not currently a requirement, it is STRONGLY suggested that you cut and paste or screen capture any such information you want to post from another site, and place that information here within the thread you have posted. I will often reluctantly allow you to provide the link to it, but you would be wise to understand the capriciousness that some other site owners and moderators exhibit towards the messages that other people may post on their own websites. Do us all a favor by not wasting our time by providing links to information that may be fleeting on those other sites. The BOI has from the start been designed and intended to be a PERMANENT repository of information. Please don't defeat this purpose by making the information you provide completely dependent upon the owner of another website.
