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.

Exotic pets. Bad business/bad guy
I bought a Easren milk from the for $90 bucks and $50 something shipping. The snake was malnourished, wouldn't eat and infested with mites. Even after getting rid of the mites, the snake died. So after calling Exotic pets and talking with the owner, Ken I explained the situation and wanted my money back. Was told he couldn't do that, but would give me another snake of equal value or one worth more if I payed the differance. Didn't leave me with much choice. So I picked out a brooksi (nice looking king) for $70 bucks, $20 for the snake and $50 for shipping. Well guess what the snake got here a few days later, once again the snake was malnourished and covered with mites, nice guy huh? Again after getting rid of the mites by rinsing them off, useing Prevent a Mite and Reptile Relief that got rid of all the mites, but the king is still in isolation from my other 24 kings and milks, but at least I got him to start feeding!
I warn all of you from doing business with Exotic Pets in Las Vegas NV.

I am kind of surprised. I have met Ken a couple of times, done business and I have even been to his shop. Do you have any pictures of the snakes with the mites?
I do not quite follow the transaction for the second snake, did you pay for it even with a replacement guarantee from Ken?

I have traded with Ken a few times and have been very happy with his animals. I also recommend him to my friends.
I have a hard time believing he would send out malnourished snakes. Mites do happen from time to time in the hobby, but I highly doubt he would send out snakes that were infested with them.
Please post some pics.

Well I would like to ask Ken about this ad, there are no breeders of these in the US that I know of, are these wild caught animals being sold as CBs? Sure looks like it.

It might be CB on a farm or an import that came in laid eggs. Seems a lot of people are using CB for that description instead of the CB moniker which most of us would assume to be born here.

What happen to the good old days? WC were captive hatched or wild caught/ farm raised imports.
Captive bred, were CBs, now we have CBBs, why? Captive bred means just that, so Ken are they imports?
