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.

Since Stephen is a member of our forum, this hits kinda close to home. Missrepresented animals are my biggest pet peeve.With that in mind, Randy and I have discussed setting up a fund to get Stephen his money back. Hopefully we can have that set up today. Any money collected over the purchase price will then be donated to Fauna.
This is probably the wrong place to put this, but I don't know where else I would put it so that the people involved or who have feelings about this particular issue would read it. Moderators, please move it accordingly. Thanks in advance.

Thank You
Randy I do appreciate your offer but I could not accept that. If I did I would be no better than the person this thread is about. Randy you have done no wrong in this and it is not your place to make this right. Your offer says loads about your character but your character has never been in question. I would appreciate the opportunity to purchase some of those hypos but to be honest I have seen pics of your animals and would love to purchase them all.
John already working on the Chattanooga road trip but I will need sometime for this to pass before I could make it without doing something stupid. No point in letting one small act by a piece of trash influence negatively on my future.
Again don't feel to bad for me (other than my own stupidity). You really need to feel bad for Bill Cagle he has no ethics or credibility.
Luckily I'm financially stable enough to take this small hit but if it had happened to a younger herper tring to make ends meet and build a collection at the same time ... makes me shutter.
Respectfully,

No Please
Sorry Dave, again you like Randy, John, and others have a heart as big as Texas. This isn't about the money. Make the collection (I will donate also) and use the funds for bettering the herp industry. This is about a "Bad Guy" really I would be very happy with the outcome of this thread if it possibily saved some other individual from this type of problem.
You guys are the greatest but this isn't that bad a hit its just that bad a guy.
See when you churn the milk the cream does come to the top but Bill is still on the bottom ... lol

Chris Mcquade
I'm trying to get a hold of Chris Mcquade. I'm real curious what he will think about this since Bill is saying that he purchased these from him as hypo/hoggs. Bill took the attitude in the phone that if they aren't what he says they are its Chris's fault because he purchased them as hypo/hoggs. The only contact info I have for Chris is the phone number given to me by Bill. I have left a message asking Chris for his email so that I might send him some pics to verify they are his and where sold as hypo/hogg. If anyone has any contact info for Chris you might advise him of this thread.
Reguardless of the outcome with Chris Mcquade, Bill cagle is still bad because of his non-100% guarantee thats good up until you use it.

I did a search, and the only thing I could Find on McQuade is that John Apple had him listed on his good guy list. You might want to contat John and see if he has contact info for him and Gulf Coast Reptiles.

Going through the motions
I have filed a complaint with kingsnake (lol). They sent me the you must file it with the Internet Fraud and Complaint Center letter so I did that also. I paid by postal money order. I think I'll call the post office Monday and see if I can file a complaint there. Heck while I'm at it I might as well call his local police and get their address so I can file a complaint there. I know all this is most probably pointless but right now it makes me feel better ... lol. Chattanooga isn't that far ... it might be interesting to pursue this in a small claims court or something. They have a nice aquarium down there that the kids would love to see. Kill two birds with one stone. On second thought why ruin a nice trip by including Cagle in it.
Respectfully,
