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.

hi, i purchased a pair of '08 albino boas from rich mcdonald located in a suburb of chicago....it was not wheaton....i had his home address and did a willow search to see the actual dwelling and its value....i wasn't paypaling any money to a trailer/camper/ etc.
the guy lived about 20 minutes from my brother in naperville, but i do not remember the mailing address. his home was very nice, but i do not remember all the details. anyway, i asked repeatedly if shipping would be an issue....it was not and he would ship the same week he recieved the money. he recieved the money thanksgiving weekend, '08. he then kind of fell off the face of the earth.....would not reply to emails or phone calls. finally claimed he lost his job, in-laws in the hospital dying......all excuses why he could not respond to my dozens of attempts to contact him. the one time he did answer his phone he was at an NHL game in new york (must have caught him offguard). Finally in January i told him i planned to be in his neighborhood the upcoming weekend, while visiting my brother. That week he shipped my snakes. Both were very attractive albinos....both VERY underweight, and probably dehydrated. they are both healthy robust animals now.
It worked out for me in the long run but i was quite nervous for a long time (i even let him know specifically these were christmas presents for my 2 sons)
he had all high end boas for sale then.........
i recieved 2 nice snakes for a reasonable price, but it was not worth the aggravation.
