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.

Not sure but all he said was that the was getting out of reptiles all together. His excuse to me about his shipping was that he had shipped other things like that with no problem from the recipient. So there you go....

What a jerk. That's crazy. Why though. Why would you sell a pet then pretty much go out of your way to kill it? I don't get that. Do you think this guy could possibly have been so stupid that he thought that one little heat pack was going to do the trick? Poor baby. Thats awful

I didnt read the whole thread so I apologize if this has been mentioned. He said it arrived DEAD? How do yo know it wasnt DEAD when he sent it? That way he isnt out a LIVE animal and still gets the $$?
Again. if this has been mentioned I apologize..Screaming headache prevents me from reading pages of small print right now.

It was BARELY alive when it was received by the OP. It came around some but never fed on it's own, and took a fish(?) by "slight" force-feeding. It then passed a few weeks later according to the OP.
Very sad.

Started off just fine with plenty of communication. I was buying a smoothe-fronted caiman from him. Emails back and forth and finally decided on a price and shipping date. I was told that it would be shipped this past Monday (29th I belive) for an arrival the following day. I asked if I could get the tracking # when he shipped and he said fine but never sent it.
The next day comes and goes and no shipment. So I email him Tues. morning about what was going on and he informs me that it will be here Wed. I again asked for the tracking # and he said fine but never sent it.
Well it arrived today. Im at work when my wife calls me to inform me that it is DEAD. I asked what the box said as far as how it was shipped. He actually shipped it USPS "priority", which takes anywhere from 2-3 days. No wonder he wouldnt give me the tracking #... Keep in mind its the dead of winter, he's from Michigan I believe and Im in Ohio.
The box was had absolutely no insulation. He just threw it in a box. Not in a bag or any sort of container. Just threw it in a box with a handfull of shredded newspaper and some sort of "shirt". It had a piece of shredded paper stuck to the "aqualid" (sorry, dont know the technical term) of his eye. The only thing that made any sense was a heat pack that was in there, but even that was an 8 hour pack for a 2-3 day trip. Its 20 deg outside.
It was completely limp and lifeless and not breathing when it arrive. My wife and I both thought it was dead. He talked about how healthy it was, but its almost emaciated. Just out of chance I took it downstairs and put it under a heat lamp. 2 hours later, MIRACULOUSLY, its showing signs of life. Not sure yet whether or not the poor little guys gonna make it but we'll see. He can hardly hold his head up as of now.
Moral of this story? Never, ever, ever buy an animal from Cody Snider. Nor would I even sell one to him. He has absolutely no reguard for life. And all to save $30 in shipping. So now Im spending my New Years Eve doing my best to nurse it back to health.
