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.

The real sad thing is this guy did not even try hard with the add. You can easily notice that the snake is on newspaper then aspen all of a sudden.

He contacted me last week trying to talk me into shipping first on a trade with all kinds of standard scammer tricks. I highly doubt he is who he claims to be. He also uses some app that gave him a New Jersey phone number but he lives in Oregon, and I also just so happened to have been contacted from 3 different shady Oregon people about the same snake in a 2-week period. I strongly suspect his sinister intentions run far deeper than stolen pictures.

Guessing that you sent a PM, did you notice that he hasn't been here since the evening before you reported his use of your image (meaning: he hasn't seen your message)?
FWIW, I suspect that his other ads also include stolen images...Unfortunately, I haven't been as successful in locating them. (Yours was posted on another site in 2013.) My preference would be to allow him the opportunity to correct this himself. Failing that, I will remove your image from his ad.
If he does reply to your message, please update this thread with his response.

I likely would have posted this anyway. Using someone's picture to sell your own snake just smells sketchy, and it's not a bad guy thread...just an info thread. But thanks for taking action if he refuses to. Do you know where my picture was used else where? It's crazy...it's not even that great of a picture, and she's easy to spot because she has gold eyes (which is very uncommon).
