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.

Beware!! ink_da_blak = Anthony Smoot
He posted a 1600g female pied for $450 on June 9, 2015.
Very responsive at first, until I called him out.
The picture he claimed to be his snake was from a posting at a different site by the actual owner. When asked about the posting, he stopped responding, and deleted the ad. He hasn't said anything about it since.
Also beware, looks like he "sold" his pied to Exotic_By_Nature with a name Randy Morris. This account was created the day after the post July 10th, thanking him for the snake. He was suppose to "ship" the pied that day (10th). Unless he drove from Virginia to illinois or vice versa, it's not ideal that the buyer received the pied the same day. Very Fishy!!!

I forgot to add, he said he's had the pied since she was a baby, and that she's a virgin...obviously not.

This kid lives down the street from me. If anybody has been scammed by him and needs help coordinating with the local authorities, let me know!

Nice that he used his "screen name" email for the "Exotic by nature" account. Not too bright...

Is this the guy? Just wondering because he is trying to sell me a massive female boa that he says came from Exotics by Nature. This guy appears to be from and living in Natchez, MS and Exotics by Nature is in Louisiana.
This may wind up being an in-person deal, since shipping may be prohibitively expensive due to her size.

Check out his live video on his page (public). Feeding snakes on top of their own feces and shed skin, water bowls either dry or full of dark brown liquid

Ugh, that room and those cages are absolutely disgusting and a fire hazard of crap piled everywhere! Yeah, I realize that snakes can be messy, but if you're making a video, check that your cages are clean. Those are obviously rarely cleaned with all the old crap. There's a poor beardie on paper with no light. There's also a gaboon viper in a tank that doesn't look super secure. That's an accident waiting the happen. It's also sad seeing the short tail with a completely dry water dish. They need lots and lots of water. Those poor boas, also. I would never buy from him unless you're willing to take on some health issues. I took a few screenshots of the video, but the quality isn't great.
