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.

Michael Cole: Ballroom Pythons South :D
As some of you may know, I was one of the victims of Chris Johnson of Top Shelf Exotics. I was scammed out of a significant amount of money.
Well Jon of Next World Exotics started seeing what he could do for the victims. With the help of Heather Wong and a few others, the team contacted several breeders asking for snake donations to go to the victims. Since I live in Minnesota and the shipping weather is starting to deteriorate, I was given a chance to get a het pied male and a male yellowbelly right away(just pay shipping). Yesterday, I received my two gorgeous little boys from Michael Cole of Ballroom Pythons South. There are many caring, generous people in our hobby. Michael is one that stepped up to donate some animals to help out others. Just goes to show you how one bad apple doesn't spoil the whole bunch! Many, many thanks to Jon, Heather and Michael!

I've known Michael for a few years. I've always liked and respected him. I respect and admire him even more after hearing about his compassion in this case.

Michael Cole is an all around good guy. It doesn't suprise me of his snake donations to the ripped off. It sounds like him. Way to go buddy. Skip Riddel

Micheal is a great guy, I've bought a lot of snakes from him.
I got ripped off by TSE, but didn't even get normals, they never shipped any snakes to me at all. Somewhere around $1K.
I wrote it off as a expensive lesson, and don't expect they will ever make it right at this point.
I'm just happy that GOOD vendors exist like Micheal and others, and that THEY more than make up for the scum that rips people off!
Kudos to them for helping make something right in the world!
