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.

Tito...I always make it a point NEVER to hold a snake w/out a deposit (non refundable). I've got a snake up for sale now, and the first guy to "show me the money" gets the snake, i won't hold it w/out a deposit.
My experience has been that whenever you've got snakes up for sale you get a boatload of people trying to get you to "hold some for me, man"...and then you never hear from them again. Unfortunately that's the nature of the business.

hehe i just read the thread bob put up he started a whole other thread instead of using this one... Bob Show me one email where i threatend you. i can post several emails from you stating it be amistake and i would pay in the end and youll be at hmaburg blah blah... if anyone threatend anyone it was you all i said is you got bad business ethics and you will never succesfully run any type of business with how you handle things. You could have said look i cant do it blah blah even after telling you i had someone else lined up and i told them they were being held for you , you stated thank you ill see you friday for them. I guess it was my own stupid fault for taking your word i guess a lesson learned.

My name is Robert Kirk and this tito sure did me a number I lost a chance to buy banded egyptian cobra due to this add here and you people do not even know my side of the story the men who sold the puff adders to tito emailed me and said he was sorry for telling tito the were tanzanian puffs when they werent but now I am a jerk for not loosing money on buying them and I have bad work ethics. Well I am tired of a bunch of regular joes thinking they are scientist and biologist with their scientific names and mumbo-jumbo I will continue to buy snakes I am only an hour and a half from all the shows so if people dont want to sell oh well see ya wouldnt want to be ya

Bob Kirk here I will not say anything but I am sorry I dont think it is fair for someone to say something about me and everybody jump on board before they know my side. If I insulted anyone I am sorry I am a good person and so is tito we just had a misunderstanding I led him to believe something and he led me to believe something I was wrong can I be forgiven or should I just say the heck with it? I want to participate but it makes me mad when people say things like I should be jelous I have been into hots for sometime now I am not mr. know it all I like asking questions. I would like to apologize to Ritchie sorry dude let me know if we can get over this or am I just a jerk?

Just to toss in my uninvited two cents worth.... this "shadiguy" advertised a bunch of normal looking Puff Adders as "Tanzinian" Puffs.... I figured their his, and he can call 'em anything he wants, but the pictures he posted showed normal looking babies (IN MY OPINION). Now, there can EASILY be two or more reasons for the "normal" looking quality of the animals.... the photo may not have done the babies justice, OR they could be normal puffs, that this guy is asking four times the going rate for.... No big deal.... I didn't give them another look.....
THEN we have his "1.1 het for amel C. viridis" ad that he put up just the other day..... "Proven Breeders" it said, which implies to me that this fellow has produced amelanistic babies from this pair..... I was VERY interested in these animals, and I began the internal sorting and searching necessary for me to plop down 600$ (that's a STEAL for a PROVEN pair of Het Prairies) for a pair of snakes... and then someone asked him a question.... to which he answered that the snakes are hets, 66% probable hets......
Now, I ask you, Richie or anyone else..... How can he say they're hets in one ad, and then say their 66% probable hets in another ad (again.... these are proven, right) and not have included that in the original ad.... I mean, this is a vital piece of information we're talking about, right???
So, I figured that there's a credibility issue here on the part of the "Shadiguy" and that I'm going to give the Pool Shark the benefit of doubt on this one.....
LAST but not least, I don't know either of these men. I have no way of knowing of the shadiguy's animals are the real deal or not, but I can tell you this: I'll not be buying his "hets" without a written guarantee from someone.... and I'll not be buying any Tanzinian Puffs from him unless I get to see them in person... .Just an observation....
I *am* looking forward to hearing when Robert gets his mobile reptile display completed, so I can find out if he'll be traveling out my way anytime soon.....
Tom
