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.

Got a kindof discouraging shipment today
I bought 7 Female 06 ball pythons from I thought Providence reptiles, but low and behold the box I received today was labeled from Ballroom south I think you all know the name of the guy that owns the company. I do not know if ballroom south is letting providence reptiles use there account or what. All I know is I got a 15 x 11 x 7 box w/ the thinner insulation. All snakes were put in one large pillow case together and of course some evacuated during shipment and fecal matter was from the top of the box to the bottom. The bag was soaked in fecal from top to bottom so I just cut the bag open and took all the cold snakes out of it. The smell was horrible and NO HEAT PACK AT ALL. These snakes were very cold, and not to mention most are very thin. The pics and weights on his website were very miss leading. I did get my snakes, and on the day he said I would ,but as for proper shipping for the animals I believe that this was not accomplished and some of the snakes are very thin. I left a message saying I got them cold, but really did not elaborate on how I really felt about the whole thing. Once they get settled in I will see if they eat. I really hope everybody thinks twice about proper shipping methods some breeders use from now on.

Did you tell the seller anything before posting something like this on the BOI?

shipment
I emailed ballroom south about the whole thing with there label being used for it, and how the snakes came. I am not saying anything bad about ballroom south they could just be doing a favor for another company, I am just stating the facts about how I received the snakes. I am not in the best of moods about how they came in. I did email the owner of providence about how they came cold but left it at that. I did receive all alive as I stated above but the fact that most are really underweight and were just packed in the same bag with no heat pack really did not seem to be the best shipping to me. I am not asking for any refunds or anything like that I just wanted to inform everybody about how these snakes were shipped. Thankyou for your reply,
Michael Wells
