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.

CSreptiles2010- good or bad?
Has anyone done work with this seller/ trader? I noticed he joined this month, and keeps offering trades on almost ALL ball python posts for carpet pythons "ready to breed in 5-6 months"... Does anyone know if he is legit? It raised suspicions when every post was the identical sentence, and on almost all ball posts in the classifieds today. I browsed the BOI for similar posts and no one has asked about him yet so I figured I would. Just go to the ball classifieds to see his posts. I am NOT trying to say anything bad... it just surprised me to see how many ball python adds he has posted on.

The name caught my attention, due to the similarity with a previous "star" on the BOI...but, the quick look seems to indicate this is not him.
This member registered two days ago (which is not necessarily an automatic strike), and probably just got approved. 26 posts...25 of which are offering those carpets in trade (the other is the ad he posted to sell them). I doubt you'll get much feedback on him...but it could be as simple as him being a newcomer that is enthusiastically trying to get rid of a pair of snakes.

With a little looking around, I've found his page on myspace, seems he hasn't had the carpets all that long. http://www.myspace.com/471833767
Seems like a decent guy, young and has pics of couple other pets that look like they're doing well.
Agree is just very enthusiastic about trading the carpets for a Ball. Worth thinking about to trade in person if you are into carpets.

Before you do the trade, if you choose to, because he's under 18 (myspace says middle school) I'd suggest speaking with a parent for consent. His phone number's also posted on myspace.

Good luck with your trade. Like the others have said, he looks like he is just looking to sell a few animals, not scam. But who knows these days
