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.

After reading the drama spewing on the forum over Ken I figured I would add my two cents.
My experience with Ken from several years ago was interesting. To say it went well is an understatement, even though it did not go as planned. There was a slight mix up with FedEx (who Ken used to ship the childrens python I bought, that's right, FedEx) and my box was not delivered to my door. I called Ken and asked if he knew what was up and he told me he would find out and call me right back. Within 15 minutes Ken called me back with an update.
The box was at my local FedEx hub, he told the manager that there was a snake in the box and that it needed to be in a cool place. He talked the manager into keeping the box in doors until I was able to get there. The manager had the box in his office waiting for me to pick it up. Never did he complain about shipping the snake. What he said was he hoped it was doing well and healthy. This snake came from Ken, so it was fantastic; fat and healthy. This was long before FedEx started allowing shipping waivers for snakes. Because of this, Ken gave me a discount on my next order.
Maybe a year after that, my wife were in Vegas and decided to stop in and meet Ken in person. He upheld that discount he promised me and we purchased another animal from him before we went home. He came down to Anaheim for NARBC, so once again I was able to catch up to Ken and BS about nothing for the hell of it, Laura Fopiano was there too (we miss ya babe!).
About a year later, I purchased another animal from Ken, he is a true to the heart reptile guy, I like those type of people.
I have done business with Ken, online and in person. From my personal experience, Ken was great to work with. I recommend him to anyone. His prices are not all that much higher than anyone else, but remember, he has a store, not a hobby he runs out of his house. Ken treats his customers with a lot of kindness and respect, I think it is on the customers to do the same. From what I have seen, if someone has a problem, Ken fixes it, even though the problem may lay entirely on the customers shoulders. If the problem is not resolved (in the customer's eyes) it is all on them.
