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.

He goes by the name of FLoyd Garrison/Cottonmouth enterprises. He is a VERY Shady guy. He will tell you anything you want to hear, so that he can make a buck. If you want "Longterm captive", he will tell you it is "long term captive" even though it is fresh wildcaught. If you want a venomoid king that eats, allaakazzaaam!, he has a king that eats. He also likes to have you send him animals and then not send you anything and avoid your calls. Oh yeah, then if he gets mad about something, he likes to call your house and threaten your girlfriend and child when you are not home. That is the kind of "respectable" guy he is. Just a word of advice. Watch out for this guy.
LOL

Yes, I am not falsely slamming anyone, I was just warning people, because I really don't like it when people do business in the way he does, it makes everyone look bad.

Kevin,
How about putting some meat on this plate? What you are stating is kind of vague and there are absolutely no details in this thread. If you can provide something of substance, then please do so. What are your own verifiable personal experiences? What exactly happened to someone else that you have detailed knowledge of? Just stating that you don't like the way someone does business, with no other supporting information is not fair and has no place here. Lord knows we've had enough of these sorts of things in the past, but I would like that to come to an end.
Please give some supportable facts or I will be deleting this thread.
Oh, one other thing. Proper etiquette on this board dictates that you put the name of the person, business or product you are referring to in the topic of the thread. That helps readers to determine which threads are of interest to them so they don't have to read everything just to find out whom or what it is about.
Thanks.

Sorry, let see:
I have personally see 9 out of 10 animals he has gotten before he got them. I know for a fact that he misrepresents the animals he sells, because I have seen the animals beforehand and heard all of the information about them before seeing his ads.
As for the not sending animals part, He recieved a cobra that was originally mine for a third party, it was suppose to be in trade for a gaboon viper, he never sent the guy the gaboon, would not answer phonecalls, no emails,ect. Well, the cobra just happened to be a cobra that I was never paid for originally, was traded without permission, so I got it back. Knowing the situation, that the third party was going to get the shaft, I agreed to give the third party(don't want to disclose his name without permission) a gaboon so this person wouldn't get shafted for something that was between me and the originally buyer. Floyd was given the gaboon, never sent it, never emailed the guy or anything. So I went out of my way(again) to get the guy another gaboon and am sending it myself.
Floyd has since called my house, threatened to kill me and my family, and demands the spitter he never paid for, traded for,ect. Now does this sound like someone that you would want to do business with? Or someone that people should be warned about? I am sure that the other parties involved will ad to this thread with more info as soon as they see it.
