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.

There is not a single shred of proof people in my area are doing that and I was told it was all over ONE video of some deranged person.

Pick a random "Pets" section on CL in a random state and a random city and you are likely to find the same post.
I have seen them on pretty much any CL pet section I've looked through regardless of state and city.
Most of them are likely posted by AR nuts, but they like to paint all of us as irresponsible jerks who take free animals off CL and feed them to our animals.

I don't even know where to start... I guess I fear for the children. I think I read that the two big snakes (retic and boa) live in a room... no cage was mention, no enclosure, no tank, no type of secure measures. Please tell me I'm wrong! I would never sell to them on that suspicion alone. Please correct me if I'm wrong!
As for the puppy being eaten... it should never have been around that snake. I'm not going to debate cats and dogs and rats and pigs for feeders, what's ethical, and what's not. I know I would never eat dogs but I have a couple cousins who eat it for traditional medicine ceremonies. That doesn't mean I support pets for feeders. No where in America have I seen where pets have been bred for feeders. It's not just not accepted.
Why would they have an elderly man watching a retic? Why would they have A SINGLE MAN WATCHING A SNAKE OF THAT SIZE? When my boas grew over six feet I always had another adult with me, just incase!
I hope no one sells to these irresponsible people again.

I BELEIVE YOUR RIGHT, There is a similarity lol....Trailer trash is an understatement however... They're the DECAY of our society that CAUSE and INFLUENCE reptile banning Laws.....Irresponsible owners like them are the bad apples....They ruin it for the rest of the good bunch.
They shouldn't be allowed to even own a cricket farm!!!
I will be sure to never sell Retics... or even a milksnake to those trash.....

Accidents can happen - especially if there is negligence involved - Is it still an accident then- or something forseeable that could have been prevented? I think we all can agree its tragic and was preventable. I think posting pics of it does draw the wrong impression for the whole hobby of Herpetoculture, However, if someone is going to have -accidents- and not use what others deem as common sense, how do we communicate that within the hero industry without having one bad apple picked up by the media and making news about it - which in turn helps more restrictive laws pass everywhere. I'm struggling with the knowledge of someone who has been negligent and owes me $ and I don't know how to pursue, as it too is appalling and could end up -newsworthy- Then...more laws... So, my question is... do we have a moral obligation to report bad scenerios, which in turn can end up hurting the pet industry as a whole? Will there be a day when we need permits to keep even goldfish if we feed the media stories or are we helping to actually resolve the isolated incidents? Moral dilemna, and not much off topic as why did I even click on this post and respond? What happens when owners do irresponsible things or see others being irresponsible and its posted? Those are a few of my questions. Lastly, posting a pic of a retic eating a puppy is just asking for PETA headaches.....and that doesn't stand for Pythons Eating Tasty Animals..... let's agree to keep dogs and pythons separate at least....

my biggest issue with this scenario is that the incident was photographed, and shared on social media. If I had an incident such as this, whether it was an accident or due to my irresponsibility I wouldn't photograph it. If my dog was playing in the street and a car hit her, my first reaction wouldn't be to run and grab my cell phone to take pictures for facebook. (This leads me to feel that it wasn't an accident, and the dog wasn't really cared for as a pet-just my opinion)
I'm glad this thread came back up, is there any updates to this situation at all?

I have just finished reading this, and its completely ridiculous. all moral obligations aside-whether or not people in other countries eat them, yes different countries and cultures do this. it is ILLEGAL in the usa to feed a dog or cat to any animal. I know people that have been arrested for eating a dog, they were korean and didnt know they couldnt do it here. the laws in different places are as different as night and day, but doesnt change the face that, by feeding a dog to snake, yes i believe it was a purposeful act, they commited an illegal act.
