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.

This animal is teaming with mites, and you want to suggest that I have him send me back my snake that has now been exposed to his collection, and mite infestation.
Why would I post bad things on a trade......the same reason that anyone would post bad things on their trades. I traded this man a snake that is worth double what his is worth, and what do I get in return.......A nice, profitable, breeding colony of mites. Hmmmmm, I think I'll sell em for 2500 a pair

Angel - if you keep his snake, you have to deal with mites. If you swap back, you have to deal with mites. No?
What would you LIKE to happen?

Cryptkeeper, you are the biggest moron on this planet. I tried to be civil about this, but you make it so easy to point out your shinnig G.E.D. education. If you read Utta's post, you will see that he commented on the mite problem and stated that I had proved all of my ORIGINAL claims except the redness on the snake's head, which I chalked up to being caused by shipping......The snake's temperment WAS NOT one of those claims. Now, if you don't have anything productive to add to this thread, I suggest you stop wasting what little brain cells you have and leave. Go back over to constrictors and take your rightful place under Trent's sack

OK.. so let me get this straight.. neither of you have read about the new shipping company Reptiles Express??? When you get approved through them you can print a Waiver to Ship Snakes through UPS EVERYTIME you print out a label. Both of you are trying to ruin this hobby and completely ruin any chance of shipping through UPS by going against UPS Policies like that! We're having enough problems as it is and you pull this?!?! Suppose Either one of those Snakes had gotten banged up enough and escaped.. Do you think UPS would honor Reptiles Expresses Waiver much longer? You both have your snakes... Angel.. you're gonna have to deal with the mites and Andy... Check over your snakes carefully because you may have Mites and not noticed them before!
All I have to say to end this post is God Spead to both of you because there is no way I would deal with anyone who is going to ship against UPS Policies and not care about it!
Just my opinion but you two are two peas in a pod

keep showing your true colors. Since you cant read either. I asked for pics of the snakes head he replied to that. Which had nothing to do with what i asked about. Then I said what I said. Im not the bad guy here. You made two accusations here. 1 Is a flat exaggeration. Keep taunting your snakes

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD..... give me a break.
How were people shipping their snakes a couple years back, before these companies come along. Or how about the people shipping snakes RIGHT NOW, through UPS, that have never heard of these compaines. Or how about the people who don't have a credit card to utilize these companies. It's not like there's a Reptile Express on the corner or in the mall. I'm more than sure that there are people right now reading this thread, searching these classifieds, selling, trading on this site right now that do not use these companies and are recieving packages from people who do the same. And the only person in this incident that will truly ruin this hobby with their shipping is Andy. Because I know a little secert of his that involes his shipping.... Bad boy Andy

I tried. Figured if my snake is do bad, why would you want to keep it? I offered to hip back and schedule a day where Angel would ship mine back. He refused.
The pics show little black, SQUARE dots, on the snakes scales. Now, I've been doing this for about 12 years and I've NEVER seen a square mite. Call me crazy, but it just doesn't ad up.
I'm probably one of the most honest person you'll ever meet. If I do something wrong, I'm the very first person to admit it. I tell on myself often. As I've already said, many times, I wouldve never have shipped that snake, if it had mites. If you weren't happy with the snake, Angel, all you had to do was call me and I wouldve been ok with that. There was no need to start this thread full of lies, trying to make me look bad and then when I offer to send your snake back, you refuse.
When you want to settle this like grown men, you let me know. I'm 30 years old...I don't have time for high school games.
After seeing the way you treated MY snake, I do want him back. That video was absolute stupidity. You don't deserve to own any Retic, let alone a personal pet of mine.

i can easily see both sides to this issue. on the one hand, they do not look like mites to me (obviously at least, as pics can be difficult to truly prove out mites). on the other hand, its not like angel is posting and trying to scam money from andy. it just seems there are too many variables and possibilities to determine who is "in the right" and who is " in the wrong" so to speak. if they are mites, they are exposed. if you trade back, your mite infestation would be at a minimum and with easy treatment (if even needed, depending on your isolation protocol you have used thus far), if not anything. i dont know angel, so i cannot vouch for him either way. i do know andy from some forums and such, and have seen many pics of his collection, and never saw anything that resembled mites or other health issues. before anybody psycho analyzes that, that does not mean im against angel and for andy, im simply stating a fact.
