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.

John Buhs, Brownsville, TX...SCAMMER?!?!?
Last week, I inquired about 23 green anacondas this individual posted here. Took a week before I got any photos...and most of them were photos belonging to Samantha DeMarco of All Exotics SD. When pressed about this, he said it was a mistake and that his wife pulled the wrong photos...IMPOSSIBLE...as he was sending me photos via text as we spoke. What had me going was that he was offering these 23 annies for $3500 shipped. In addition, he also has (his words, not mine) a T- albino that was currently on loan to Renick Reptiles. I already knew this to be impossible, but did the legwork to verify anyway. Others will be posting their testimony to prove that this is nothing but a scam.
Be careful! Avoid at all costs!

Dean contacted me and I tell you what. He was a rude and pushy individual. There was a mixup with pictures and that was between me and the pictures owner. Which has been straightened out. I suggest nobody do business with this Dean guy. He is slanderous and quite frankly very rude and gets pleasure out of lying about people.
Nobody has lost money or been scammed. Ive already done a FTF deal on my condas with a man off this site locally. So Dean... Sit your ass down kid.

What makes this claim even more stupid is the fact that Dean is upset. Literally said he was going to blast my name on here from his anaconda facebook platform. Ive created and signed sales agreements and sent copies of my ID to those who were interested in snakes. A scammer wouldnt go to such lengths.
This topic is dead as hell unless this Dean guy can produce 1 person that has lost money to me. I challenge him to produce this person. If he cant, this needs to be closed. There are laws against someone trying to destroy a persons character online.
Thanks. John B.

Dean can you post the pictures he sent versus Samantha's please?
Also I noticed she just joined today so perhaps she can explain what is going on.

John, the reason you are getting so many questions is because your ad is eerily similar to a chronic scammer on this site named dustin draper. Rare species(mangshan vipers), too good to be true price, a questionable reason for wanting to sell and implying you will only sell to someone with experience and lack of pics. Not accusing you just letting you know why people are bieng skeptical of you and asking so many questions.

Since two different sources (one being Dean) have said that this “John Buhs” guy is claiming that he owns the T+ albino green anaconda and Lynlee Renick has it on a loan, Lynlee said I could release this to get rid of that confusion. The T+ was bought as a baby by Ben and 100% belongs to Lynlee Renick as you can read in the attached screenshot.

The ONLY way anyone backs up his story...is if he gets a friend to pose as a customer! Everything he says are lies. Samantha and I have gone back and forth with his texts...and everything is contradiction or lies compounded by more lies! PLUS...I'm curious how this went from 23 to 25 to 30 anacondas within hours. None of these photos are his...they're ALL Samantha's and others that have posted on instagram. I'm going to post screen shots of all our texts...that include the photos. As soon as I figure out how to post screen shots from my phone...I'm going to post the entire conversation here...that should put the baby to bed!
