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.

You guys are going to be making a lot of work for me when I have to delete your messages. The rules of the old BOI hold true here as well. If you want to post on the BOI, you have to use your real full name.
If I have to, I can set the registration system so that I can view each and every application and simply reject all of those that do not provide their full name. This is something a lot of people have been asking for, for a long time.

So Matt...Who's the "nut" here?? You READ about ALL his bad dealings, and you STILL did business with him??? That's like taking a bottle of milk out of the fridge, finding out it smells terrible, and then putting it BACK IN THE FRIDGE with the hopes it will be better tomorrow??? I guess you'll know for next time, huh?? ....Neil

John Fallon has been changing his name and email addresses over at kingsnake.com for the past month or so. I ordered a pair of "high yellow" Spilotes from him early on. After several long discussions about what I needed and absolutely did not need, I paypalled the money to him. Nothing but a mess from that point on. He sent the exact opposite of what he said he would send. 75% yellow banded-phase turned into beat-up 25% yellow, one being speckled. I made it extremely clear in our very first telephone conversation that I would not accept any speckled ones or "average" specimens. Well, not having the time and space here to go into everything bad about this deal (and there's more), I'm stuck with the snakes and the vet bills. I offered to send them back via Delta at my own expense but he is nowhere to be found.
He claims to be a cop in Florida. Seems to have only a cursury knowledge of herps. I'm out but not too much I guess. I've been in this business for 40 years and still get ripped every few years... Watch out for John Fallon or whatever his name is today.

Matt...Where in that post does it say you read about him AFTER you did the trade?? Because your post was poorly written and poorly worded...don't blame me for misunderstanding you in what you think we thought that you thought we thought you said!!! Get it?? ....Neil

I've done buisness with John. I recieaved 2 Brazilian Cherry heads that where supposted to be long term captives. I got them in on a day that I had to work, not the day planned, they where cold and I told him about it. 2 weeks later they both never ate, and died. I also got the airborne express shipping bill as well, that I sent back to sender, I had already paid for shipping when I paypaled him the money. I tried emailing him but of course his email had changed. I should have looked here first because I think there was a post about him right before the board went down, but I didn't. Now I'm out 335$ and no torts to show for it.

Mr. Fallon sent me what was supposed to be a gravid female Masobe Gecko. spam_According to him, he's breeding these regularly (hah hah). spam_It was very poorly packaged and dead-on-arrival. spam_It also happened to be a male, not a gravid female. spam_Luckily I was not out any $$$ because I was to pay COD and after I opened the box and saw the gecko dead, I refused to accept the shipment and had it returned to sender without payment. spam_Be careful.
