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.

Chris Dossena (cdossena)
Just finished up a transaction with Chris for one of his eastern indigo's. Could not be happier with the animal and the transaction as a whole. We had a delay in shipping due to a weather event, but Chris was proactive in kepting me informed and was able to ship out at the next available opportunity.
I cannot be a happier customer and would not hesitate to purchase from him again.

Donald, thanks for the kind words. It was a pleasure working with you. I appreciate your patience dealing with the delay in shipment due to the horrific storm that hit Connecticut. I hope you enjoy him. Eastern indigos are the most fascinating reptile I have ever worked with and owned.

Agree!
I was just about to start a "good guy" thread for Chris, but because he already has two threads started, I decided to just piggy-back (and bump!) this existing thread.
I just received two Eastern Indigos from Chris, and I have to say... I recently spent as much on ONE Indigo from another breeder as I did for TWO from Chris. Not only this, but the quality and vigor of Chris' animals are superior to the others, despite his repeated apologies for their perceived lack of perfection. I had previously thought I cared about quality, but Chris' idea of acceptable quality, it seems, is WAY above and beyond my own!
Chris has been one of the most fretful sellers I've ever worked with, but I mean this as a compliment! He's a very "cross the 'i's, dot the 't's" kind of guy. He's thorough. Almost TOO thorough, but seriously... If you want to be sold animals from someone who obviously CARES, Mr. Dossena is the guy for you! I can't recall a time I was shipped animals wherein the seller was FAR more concerned about the quality and safety of the animals than I myself was!
It's a shame, but if all sellers were like Chris, there wouldn't be a NEED for a Board of Inquiry.

Just picked up a pair of Indigos from Chris, a red-phase male and a black-phase female, super happy with the transaction.
I inquired about an animal from Chris many months ago; at that point he didn't have any available, and said he'd notify me when he did. He followed through and reached out when his most recent clutch had hatched.
Chris provided me with lots of information about the species that I hadn't seen online before. He was honest and forthright, and was very communicative through the whole process from establishing "my" snakes from just after hatching (updates on when they were feeding on their own, sending photos, etc.) through to pick-up yesterday. I drove down from NH to CT to pick them up to shorten their time in transit, and he offered to meet me part way, which he certainly didn't have to do.
He was also very helpful in guiding me through the permit process, which I hadn't done before.
Class act seller all the way. Thanks again, Chris!

I definitely echo all the kind words above in regards to Chris ... I just completed a transaction with him recently with the snakes arriving today all properly packed and shipped safely to me .. they were active, alert, and even better in person than Chris had represented them to be ... I am thrilled with the snakes I received and pleased with all aspects of my experience with Chris! The thing you will notice immediately is that Chris knows about his critters with their care and well-being always being his first and foremost concern ... he asks you questions and has great communication ... he truly wants the best homes for his critters and that is what we should all wish for and want ... responsible and caring people in the hobby! :-)
