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.

Ian just made this post on the KHS Facebook page.....I don't think I'm alone in the immediate "BS" redflags that are popping up.

As it turns out, only a couple posts have been deleted.....not all of them. They were not showing up on my phone for some reason.

So, there is a lawyer taking a case for $200 worth of mice and heat lamps? And he is going to notify all parties involved? Sarah, would you please let us know when you receive notification?
I think everyone here would put family before snakes, or mouse lawyers, or checking the forum daily, or the other activities that you're posting on FB. If you truly suffered a loss, I am honestly sorry. You may find people are skeptical, as tragedies often occur this deep into a thread.

I'm wondering what "parties" are going to be notified by his alleged lawyer and, if I am one of those parties, how he plans on doing that without my mailing address? lol

David, you haven't done anything wrong that I can see. If anything this would come as petty theft and go to small claims court. This guy has pretty much stolen these snakes, or at least is holding them hostage ( if he even still has them...) and changed the agreed upon terms to suit his own delusional idea of whats right and wrong. plain and simple. He is in the wrong in the eyes of normal society.

The cowardly KHS is censoring posts at a rapid pace on their facebook page FYI. Seems they are circling the wagons to protect Ian.

I thought he was exited about and then busy getting pepper sprayed the last 18 hours instead of dealing with a death?
As to trying to resolve this, It appears he ignored almost all messages from July until November. Then when she asked for her snakes back he didn't respond either. After a week Sarah posted on a forum and then he finally responded.
I think that is quite telling. He didn't try to resolve anything in that time period and admitted he read the messages but he didn't respond. Stating "It had only been a week since the last message"
He didn't correct any earlier messages about the amount of snakes he had of hers. She clearly stated "her snakes" throughout the earlier messages he ignored. Only after she asked for them returned.
When he finally responded he stated you will do what I state and what I want as where to meet and discuss the situation.
Hardly professional. He then goes on to state I heard many bad things about you like he has a ace in his pocket. The bad things? She took light bulbs out of a ex boyfriend's house? Are you kidding me?
Hardly a person to confront a situation head on. Even if this is a misunderstanding over a "breeding loan", this wasn't handled well at all.
So what's a fact here by what has been presented.
Sarah contacted him to ask how her snakes are doing. Ian ignored her for months.
She then contacted him to return the snakes. He ignored her request.
She then posted on a forum and then Ian went, Whoa! I wanted to talk to you in private. I only ignored you this time for week. When would that be?
How did he try to resolve this again?
While I can understand private vs the herp society business and I can understand how some might not want to drawl conclusions of what the original deal was, it isn't hard to see how poorly this was handled.
He ignored all requests for months. He ignored her request for the snakes back. He accused her of being unsavory type of person because he heard rumors she ran off with light bulbs.
What a guy. I bet he will address problems and concerns in a timely manner both in business and for the herp society.

Inclined to agree. The fact that they are not revoking his chance at VP unless he rectifies this speaks volumes.
