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.

Have you ever tried to open a GTP's mouth, its not fun or easy and unless he had help from someone else who is experienced probably not possible (probably). Also, if your really a "herptologist" you would know that reptiles are masters at hiding illnesses and just because he is alive and perched with tons of mites does not prove your point. I find it very hard to believe that a snake can develop that serious of an infection in just 1 month. In fact i bet you its impossible unless it already arrived in that condition.
Finally, i find it very hard to believe that you have a vet check each of your animals before they are shipped and sold. It should be very easy for you to provide proof that these animals are checked by your vet. Please don't give us the Oh my vet doesn't give me copies since we have an arrangment or doesn't keep records and so forth. If your going to make claims like that than you should be able to back them up with proof. Not to mention that the only reason you would need a vet to check an animal before a sale is if you see something suspicious or if they are wild caught. When i see your ad's on here i see you sell everything from uros to almost any species of snake and anything else you can get your hands on. So.... I'm not suprised that this would happen its not easy to manage so many diff species all needing diff requirements especially when your getting them for a really good price (usually just means they are wild caught or came from really bad owners who just want to get ride of them, even if its for free).
Listen, you don't sound like a bad guy the fact that you had him make a donation to a friend in lieu of the payment to you shows otherwise (unless this was your intention all along). Try to put your pride aside and just do what's right. I had a similiar situtation that happened to me not to long ago so I do understand that things like this do happen, especially with snakes but those pics speak for themselves.
To anyone else reading this, I can't seem to understand why anyone would buy a GTP or other high end animal that does not have any proof of origin, background or that was not CB. Nowadays, their are tons and tons of reputable breeders of GTP's, why anyone would buy a wild caught animal is beside me. The $100 or $200 you save ends up costing you alot more in vet bills in the end and even more emotionally.

Granted, it's been a long time since I have even looked at a GTP....but that Biak looks pretty bad in each of the photos posted. The spine seems overly prominent and ridged, to me. (If more experienced GTP keepers think it looks fine, forget I was even here)

Jarrit, please give Josh my pm/email. I want to hear from him how this firing went down. To fire a young person for telling the truth is despicable

Not to butt in on this, because frankly it's none of my business. However, I am looking for a hard working honest staff member at this time. Perhaps Josh would be contacted to contact me? However, my insurance requires all staff members to be at least 18 yrs of age, because of the venomous animals in the store that we sell. So Josh, if you're at least 18 and would actually like to be paid for what you do, and learn a lot of stuff about herps and other exotics, stop on by. I am not looking for volunteers please.
