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.

CB...in Indonesia? Unless Mitch can show otherwise, that to me says that they were bred by "wild" adults living in a huge caged in colony under wild conditions (except for the cage) and people go find the eggs or hatchlings and ship them here. They have ALL the same problems as wild caught, because they live in the exact same conditions.
So in the future, treat anything with that sort of label as though it were WC and have it dewormed.
As far as the ticks, it is possible that they came from you. You mention you use mulch, and I am sure some sort of cage furniture as well. When purchasing that stuff you could check out where it came from and treat it for possible parasites that are from that area. And be aware some parasite eggs are really hard to kill.
I am not saying one way or the other, I would lean on them coming in with the animals myself, but you should be aware of this for future reference. Baking will not kill everything everytime.
At any rate 4 ticks would not be enough to kill an adult monitor, unless they transferred some disease to it. Most likely it was internal parasites.

i do use mulch but i bake it at 250 for a couple of hrs. i also used the same mulch in my other setups as well with no issue. thats why i dont think they came from the mulch.(ps the mulch was the zoo med cypress and i doubt that they do not treat it.
thanks for the advice tho. i will get any animal checked from now on just to be safe. like i said i think it is a lil bit both are faults and thats why i'm only asking for half. its also why i try to only but c/b animals but life goes on right?

Kind of wierd that i have know Mitch for a couple of years now and i have not heard one good thing about this guy. Even his employees tell me the horor stories about his reptiles.
A couple of my friends have bought some reptiles off him and they were either sick with mites and had a respitory problem or have died a few days later after they were bough. When my duddies went back to his facility to explain what happend Mitch said there are no refunds or mitch would give them a reptile that is worth half the value of the reptile.
Just stay away from Mitch
p.s i have never bought anything off of Mitch all i do is tell people BEWARE of buying something off of him and 80% of his reptiles he buys off other people andd mark up the value. FLIPPER

Please take the negative posts from disgruntled, terminated employees and bogus claims by people who give unsupported, third-party stories with a grain of salt. Last year, we sold almost 5,000 individual animals with almost no complaints. In every case, we resolved those few complaints to the satisfaction of our customers. At the recent San Diego Show, we made good and replaced a GTP that was lost over a year ago due to the lack of expertise by the buyer. The buyer was in tears begging for a replacement. I'd like to see how many people would step up in a case like that.
As to the CB versus WC versus CH. Last year, US F&W upon checking an incoming shipment, took possession of a pair of CB Green Tree monitors to check and see if they were WC. They did all the tests that they do, to determine if there are internal parasites or other signs of a non-CB nature. Needless to say, the animals were returned to me. If I sell an animal as CB, FB or CH, then that's exactly what it is and I guarantee it.
And if anyone wonders why it took so long to make Bruce whole, we waited to Spring to ship the replacements from Southern California to Rhode Island. I'll maintain that we have one of the strongest guarantees in the industry.
Thanks,
Mitch Behm

Back in 2009 when global first started posting on kingsnake I made multiple attempts to purchase some black trees. Everytime I inquired about something they posted they would tell me the shipment was delayed. When they did finally arrive the females would always be sold or all they had were males. Once I was told they had come in in bad shape but the ads always remained to run. The last time I inquired about an ad they informed once again they didn't have the shipment in yet and the price on them was going to be higher even though their ad clearly listed a price. Having dealt with importers in the past these things are typical of the industry but what what really made me ultimately decide to never deal with them was when I was told if I wanted have a better chance at getting them I should prepay or give a deposit. Just to humor myself I asked how can I pre pay on something you couldnt give me a price on? Needless to say that was the last conversation I had with them. Regardless of if it's CH or CB if its being imported alwaya consider it WILD CAUGHT. These farms have improved over the years but are from sanitary nor are they regulated by anyone. I use to hand pick from a lot of importers in S Florida and would never offer a guarantee on anything. I must say I will give him credit for that but I can't say I'm not curious how that would have played out had it not been posted it here? Thanks for posting that link Ty. Seems things just got sticky for Global.
