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.

American Reptile Distributors aka William Gangemi
On January 3rd, I received 1.1 Elephant Trunk Snakes from William. Thank goodness he packed them well since they were left by our side door in 40' weather! Delivery service did not ring our doorbell or even leave them by the front door. Fortunately, a friend happen to come over and saw the box.
The snakes were newborn but looked to be healthy.
In the last 4 days they have fed on 25 Rosy Reds and look they they have even grown a bit since I go them.
Thanks William!

He's a convicted animal smuggler, but no worries if he's selling something that looks good...

I don't believe anybody attempted to make the claim that his elephant trunk snakes looking healthy would excuse any criminal allegations. I don't know any details surrounding that and I am not a lawyer so I cannot pretend I am qualified to provide any input there.
I do know where the trunk snakes originated and who imported them, and that they were not smuggled. Somebody said they were in good shape and I agreed, as I saw them myself as well.
Have a great day!

He plead guilty; it is not a matter of "allegations": https://www.justice.gov/usao-sc/pr/n...le-trafficking
Presumably, Elena means not that the particular snakes being discussed were smuggled. But calling a wildlife trafficker a "good guy" simply because he sold nice snakes is clearly questionable.

A green check is 'good guy' in the thread subject.

Can’t believe the “self-righteous indignation” of sf some individuals. He screwed up, and has paid or will pay for it in the future. If the guy is sorry for what he did, and doesn't repeat this illegal behavior again, then that’s good enough for me. All these “sinless” people throwing stones; and I am NOT minimizing the crime he committed, all I’m saying is people make mistakes, sometimes serious ones, and pay the price, do their due diligence and move on. Other “holier-than-thou” individuals (and there are many), never seem able to do the said same.

Great. We're all happy that you're satisfied. Now, the turtles he smuggled -- they're not so happy. But really, you're satisfied, so that's what's important. Not like anyone around here should be concerned about wild reptile populations, I guess.

Of course we shouldn't be concerned, as long as Leyna imagines that he is sorry.
