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's not gonna man up. I gave him every single opportunity to fix this and he not only refused, but he was a total jerk about it. I understand crap happens and I have received snakes that were the wrong sex, I have been shipped snakes with mites, I have been sold snakes with URIs, but I ALWAYS have given the seller the opportunity to correct the problem, as I would hope someone would do for me. Because let's face it...once the snake leaves our home, who knows what the conditions of the transit are. And if the snake arrives sick, or heaven forbid dead, it is not always the fault of the seller...thats a risk anytime you ship ANY live animal. HOWEVER....shipping the wrong sex snake, that is the wrong size, and then trying to flip the story to make it sound like the person receiving it scammed you and then totally lie about even owning the snake that someone else has proof you purchased from them? Yeah...NOT COOL. And I cannot say enough that I am SO THANKFUL that I got proof of this. If I didn't have that photo of Frank's facebook I would be dead in the water, my word vs. his.

Social networks are truly a powerful beast. It always amazes me when someone thinks they can pull this sort of thing and think they can actually get away unscathed..... I need a shower after reading this Good luck, OP..I hope you can eventually wash the Randy off too Jim MacDonald aka pythonjim

All of his contact info and address so the mods can be aware and it can be added to list should he be so inclined to make another profile/alias. Like the vast majority of scammers on here almost everyone of them attempts to most fail miserably due to members of this site being on top of their game, but some do get by for a time. But the contact info eventually catches up with them.

He ripped you off BADLY. And if that bee was shipped 100% healthy, one night being shipped and arriving cold will not make it sick. Its best it arrived cold rather warm to human touch. I get a snake shipped and its warmer than my hands i cool them off as their overheated. Most dont realize 30k feet in air is like winter. About 99% of all snakes arrived here were cold/cool to a 88F hand.
The hissing hes mistaken for RI as he just got a snake that traveled 1000s of miles and is stressed and pissed. He pretty much owes you about $200 to compensate for the mis sex or return the bee. He never took that snake to the vet, just wanted to squeeze you of more money.

Laura, If you can post the picture from Frank and your picture in this thread that would be great. So it is all right here for everyone to see.
Also, you can leave him feedback on his trader rating with a link to this thread.
