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.

Information about "Gary Rhode"
Hey just want to find out some more information on this guy. I have heard a lot of different things. but just want to do get the straight facts and background on him. He is in Gainesville working for a pet store. If anyone would elabarate on his past it would be great. Mainly becasue he told me he has the largest Chondro breeding collection in FL, and I haven't heard of him untile about 2 month ago.
Thanx

Gary Rhodes?
I have no idea if they are the same individual or not, but it has been suggested that Gary Rhodes is Chris Robinson, if that helps you out at all. Please see the following thread on Gen-X Reptiles.
http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...5&pagenumber=1
I was told by Chris when I inquired about the animals he was advertising on Kingsnake.com that he had a large collection of Green Trees and that he had been working with them for years. He was supposed to be located near Lake City, which is about an hour or so away from Gainesville.
Best of luck,
Lauren Rost

avoid at all costs
gary rhodes was recently released from jail, after serving about 1 year or so, not sure of exact time length-he was serving time for robbing a south florida importers warehouse-he has robbed a bunch of people down here-i have a friend with a pet store in gainesville that keeps giving the south florida people who have been ripped off updates on mr rhodes progress, but as far as i can tell he is calling him self chris something and works at pet paradise in gainesville-he is famous for operating under aliases--AVOID CONTACT WITH THIS PERSON AT ALL COSTS-he has ripped just about every major dealer in south florida and is a total theif-this guy will rob you--AVOID AT ALL COSTS-he has costs 10's of thousands of dollars worth of headaches for victims and stolen so many reptiles it is sickening-he is a danger to the reptile community.

OH MAN
Well, Chris Robinson called me about a snake I was selling about a month ago. The name that came up on the caller Id when he called was GARY RHODES!
I don't know if you have talked to Chris/Gary but he is one who likes to talk A LOT and a very smooth talker with a smooth young sounding voice. Brags a bit too!
This Chris/Gary whoever he is, gave out referrals that turned up blank. The people who he mentioned would vouch for him, didn't have a clue who he was.
He claims to be taking over from his father's buisiness, where his father left off. Don't know if he told you any of that.
You will also find that this Chris/Gary won't email you, try getting him to email you.
He won't because he doesn't want you to have anything in writing. He doesn't want to leave a paper trail!
Check out the link to that thread winter showed you, there are a crap load of questions Chris?Gary? never answered and just avoided.
