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.

Jose Crespo
I've been contacted by a Jose Crespo. I sent him a link to the snakes available. He then emailed me back that he was sending payment. I quickly emailed back to ask him which snake he wanted so I could hold it for him. I never got a response. He said he was sending a Cashier check so he needed my address, and phone. Continuing to ignore several requests to ID the snakes he wants? Now I get a phone text that he over paid by mistake the agreed amount. There was no agreed amount. He said to cash it, and he would tell me what to do with the overpayment. This screams scam to me! Has anyone else been contacted by Jose Crespo?

Agreed, I've seen similar scams before where they send Monet orders, and ask you tio send back a portion. The money comes out of your account in the end.

If you would, post how this scammer contacted you (email address / phone number). This is probably linked to a recent influx of this sort of scam. Maybe our mods can find a link between our not-so-dear scammers.

Classic money order scam. Don't cash it, and if you feel like it, tell him you destroyed it.

What was the email address and phone number?
If we have those, we might be able to ID this guy.
