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.

Well sounds like she is in good hands now.
I would also like to hear from Joey, I have looked and thought about buying some of his animals hear recently.

I sent Joey a link to this thread immediately after posting it. His only response to it is listed above in the emails. His excuse for the snakes condition is that people were interested in the boa so he didn't feed it expecting to ship. I don't buy that at all, this boa has been neglected far longer than a week or two, and I would personally rather feed the animal and tell a buyer to wait a few days to ship rather then starve a boa...
He also said I did not mention the mites when I first got her... Anyone who has been in the biz long enough to have dealt with mites knows if someone wipes them off it takes 2-3 days for the eggs sent with the animal to hatch, which is exactly what happened in this case, not a single other boa in my collection has mites.
Yes that link above is to the same person this thread is about.
Update on the arab boa. She has eaten for me once and is being treated for mites. She seems very weak and lethargic still, I think I overestimated her condition at first. Although I have rehabbed much much much worse so I am not too worried about her. The rat pup she ate has me pretty hopeful.

Good luck! Everytime I send a snake I always try to make sure it has at least been fed some time within the last week before it ships. I don't understand the logic behind not feeding it unless it's less than 24 hours of dropping it in the box.

I'm actually more comfortable letting a snake be empty for a solid week; two is even better during colder months. But I don't hold an animal without a deposit so why would I not feed it, HOPING that someone would but it? Makes no sense to me. But I don't believe that's even the case here. As already mentioned, that poor snake went a lot more than a week or two without food!
Good luck with her Alberto! And thanks again for pointing out the poor ethics of the this seller!!
