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 when does a police officer go to someone's house in a case like this and take snakes and money. Where did the officer keep the snakes til "Friday"? Did he Have a warrant? Never mind. I already know the answer to those questions.

Here is another post from a scammer's sockpuppet account from NY:
"I can honestly say i have gotten snakes from mike21 a few months back. he is legit. And he gives paperwork with his snakes. he just never had a fauna account lol. He looks weird and creepy but he's a good breeder. people are calling him losers and other names. which isn't right! I know him he is a local breeder upstate ny!! ..."
Sound familiar?

I shipped using the ups with the box labeled live plants because everyone told me that because it was only a one time thing it would be fine, I'm working on getting certified. I hare shipping lice animals, but Long story short I shipped out, and after multiple excuses Michael gentry did not. He lied and said he got there too late, then he said he left to go ship only for an hour later he say he got the package and I didn't put the heat tape and foil tape in the box. I told him before I was going to ship that box using typical shipping to save money. After saying that I scammed him, I didn't hear back from him till 4 am. He said the snakes were malnourished, neglected, he was going to file me for un authorized shipping (which I would understand). He is saying and acting like I scammed him when I haven't even gotten a tracking number for a box yet. I have a electronically signed document by him through email, I have texts from both of his phone numbers (cause he refused to answer the phone ever) I have all of his info. And so on. I will post the proof as people ask, but not till later as I'm going to the sheriffs office today to file a report. Please if any Michael Gentry, 423 217 9484 number or 423 389 9972 number texts you don't answer or conduct business with him/it. Thanks

So let me get this straight, lol. Neighbors who are police told you to go to the sheriff, who in turn told you to post here (histerical) and on craigslist. Then
A family police officer family member in Knoxville has recovered the snakes successfully and the guy has paid for all shipping and troubles caused". That's quite a yarn ya' got goin' there lad. You said you would "post proof as people ask". I'm asking. Post it all.

Let me try to a swear the questions. First off, the "unknown scammer" was MICHAEL GENTRY as Id proved. Second, arrowhead is a friends account. Third, I don't get the sock puppet comment at all, forth MICHAEL GENTRY let my family member in his home to prove he was a all edged breeder/keeper. He lives in Knoxville, he shipped them home to me FRIDAY. He is a police officer, he doesn't have a lot of time on his hands to do extra stuff like ship snakes. He was invited in, no warrant needed. He wasn't in uniform. Yes local police officers told me to put warnings about MICHAEL GENTRY on this forum, craigslist, etc. I didn't end up putting texts and emails up because the problem was resolved. I will glady put stuff up. Just ask. Anything I did not cover in this post? The thread was to warn you. Keep you from making deals with the guy. Not about shipping, boxes, and other junk. I'm not trying to sound rude but honestly what more does anyone want?

The entertainment value of your posts is priceless! What more does anyone want? How about you start with the proof you've already been asked for. You know, the proof you volunteered to supply? All of it. You will gladly put stuff up? Again. Do it. Emails, documents etc. Thanks in advance.

So arrowhead is a "friends" account? Not a business partner?
