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.

Shannon Bray (slickslug)
Anyone done business with Shannon Bray from Olympia, Washington? They have some stunning Boas posted for sale here but very little info on them, and no feedback posted here. This is the ad I saw and was intrigued by:

I just found their join date of 2009 and only 6 posts a little unusual.

I did some search on FB & the only profile linked to a Shannon Bray in Olympia, Washington is this one which is obviously a fake profile of some kind. Very odd.

I was just about to link to that thread, but you beat me to it. A search for that email address on FB yields a seemingly unused account for someone named Keith Brady.

This is definitely weird. I'm leaning towards a scammer of some type but something doesn't smell right. I emailed the person at the above address, so I guess we'll see if the respond. I also asked for references via PM.

I also found this thread, where it seems to be a couple who is/was sharing the profile slickslug, and it may have been that Shannon Bray was supposed to be Shannon Bra Dy and it was a typo. Nonetheless, an unusual lack of info exists on this person who claims to have originated the Latte line of Borneo Short-Tails?

I received a PM from slickslug on here linking me to the Inquiry thread from 2007. They also claim to have been a "big time" breeder for the last 15 years.
I think most "big time" breeders have more than 8 references from 10 years ago, but that's just me. If something seems too good to be true, it usually is.

Off to work now, but I was a "big time" breeder for over 15 years... see pics of my critters at: http://www.pbase.com/slickslug/my_snakes
I have references from The Board of Inquiry... let me see if I can track that down.
Thanks

Its pretty much a confirmation that 2 people are using the account (Keith and Shannon, evident by the other ads they have placed back in 2014)....which, unless I'm mistaken is against the TOS. Any mods want to weigh in on this?
