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.

See me and my brother are the owners of Pro Herps. We are from Maumee, Ohio and we bought these from Rick to resell kinda he is almost a wholesaler but not a big time. These are C.B. Babies from down in Tampa somewhere. I thank everyone for all the help they have gave me though. I just hope I can get them eating or something. So I don't lose out on my money. The whole reason I started this thread is the fact he wouldn't replace them. He expected me to tell him within a week which he just let me know a few days ago. So thanks you all for helping me out

Now I also didn't mean to say he is a bad guy. Just couldn't edit it all after it was done. I am just warning people about the GTP from him.

Well, this points out why people should put a little more thought into how they head a BOI thread. Now the originator isn't sure if Tampa Bay Exotics are bad guys but the heading is there to stay.
In less than a month bigdogg has decided these snakes don't eat. Inexperience in my opinion. Do you think the snakes are going to starve in 3 weeks? I have had snakes that didn't eat for several months after I received them. I am going to blame the guy I bought them from? Unless they were sick, if the snake doesn't eat it is my fault - period.

Very good point Dan, Shipping can shut down a strong feeder. and there is really nothing you can do about it other than wait it out!

All a seller can do is guarantee that the animal was feeding for him. This is fairly easy to verify by the buyer as depending on how long ago they were fed they will pass feces in their new location. Once the husbandry practices to which the animal will be subjected are out of his control IMO there’s no way he can guarantee a feeding response.

Well Like i said maybe I shouldn't have put Bad guy. But I have tried to feed them a week after I received them then said well let them sit in another week and tried again. But nothing. I am not inexpierence all that much. Yes these are some of the first GTP I ever got. They are also 8 weeks old and can't go too long with out food. They will die if they don't eat. Ask anyone. I am not trying to be mean but I guess it jsut all got out of proportion. I am sorry for the inconvience.

That's kinda young for a chondro to be considered an established feeder even under the best of circumstances.

Reputable breeders will see to it that a chondro hatchling has more than that. Again, JMHO.
