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.

BOB SLOAN alternaranch@peoplepc.com
He inquired about a female beauty snake I had for sale. He bought the snake and is not happy. He said the snake had a very nose bad rubbed nose from the past and a kinked/ dead tail. Well I know the snake didn't have either. People at the KY Reptile show seen this snake.. I told him I wanted to see pictures and if that is the case I will refund his money.
Well it has changed since then. I don't think I am refunding his money. I don't even want to give this guy my address to ship the snake to me. Check out a few of his emails.. You can determine for yourself.

You will get the pics as soon as I get settled. I'm also taking the snake to the San Anotnio show to get others opinions on this piece of shit. You'll either pay me for this garbage or spend the rest of your fucking life looking over your shoulder and keeping a very close eye on that fat ass wife Preggy ! Go fuck yourself you chicken shit fag and send my money or I'll hunt you down and kick your fucking bitch ass faggot.

Clearly you are just another internet dumbass that buys into the bullshit on fauna. Anyone stupid enough to believe anything on fauna is a dumbass. You sent me a shit snake. You knew goddamn good and well it was shit before you sent it. You will refund all of my money. I can assure you of that. And that is not a threat - that is a fact. I have filed a dispute with paypal, so you'll have that fight to get your money. I'll be shipping you the snake next monday. And you can stuck that attitude up your bitch ass. Like those pussies on fauna - you would never say it to my face.

It will be a few days before I get to Del Rio and am able to get net service and pics sent. I will be returning the snake at your cost and expecting a full refund. $160 is not ever going to break me, but the part of what you read on fauna about me that is true is that I do not get fucked - EVER. You knew damn well this snake was a male unless you are an idiot with no reptile experience. You also had to know about the tail unless again you're an idiot with reptiles. In both cases if you did not know then you have no business selling reptiles. I would not nor have I ever sent a snake out in this condition.
Should you decide not to refund my money, I will post you on every reptile website including both of mine. The pics I send you will be clear and show the snake you sent. I have the documentation. Up to you. I'll be in touch
"

So here is the deal. I will ship you the snake back on Monday at your cost. Since our deal was for a female as stated in your Kingsnake ad which I have printed out - no pics are really necessary are they ? I will have several dealers at the SA show this weekend look at him to verify it is a male since you are obviously to stupid to figure that out on your own. You then, upon getting the sanke back will refund my $160 in full in the form of a USPS money order immediately. If you do not, here is what I will do....

Christopher G. this is your little dumb ass
I will file a lawsuit here in Texas in small claim court for $5000 against your momma. I'll win because she will not show up here in Texas. Then I will place a $5000 lein on her house - currently valued at $136,000 - and it will go on her credit report. Not to mention she will no doubt be unhgappy about the bucket of shit you have dropped her into. Up to you, but me fucking you will consist of me fucking your momma up her ass first !
"
Just so everyone who doesn't know Peggy is my mom and we are in the business together. Just so you know he found the wrong address so don't use it for anything.
Again people did see the snake and I am sure they will post here. David Beard is one of them. I would have been happy to refund his money until the threats started pouring in.
I do have full emails for any one interested..
Thanks for your time,
Chris Applegate

Also he is claiming the snake is a male. That is not the case at all. I don't trust him one bit. I think he is wanting to send me one of his males back..

I saw the snake in question at a recent local reptile show and I can say the snake looked 100% healthy and in great shape to me. I have done lots of business with Chris & Peggy Applegate and they are stand up people.

You have been "Sloaned" in certain areas of the country it is referred to as being "Duckworthed". You are not truly anyone in the industry unless you have received at least one of those Emails.
Do a search on Sloan, Alterna ranch and Duckworth. You will find a plethora of threads that all pretty much have the same flavor. I am amazed you have not read at least a couple of the threads since your 2005 join date

I have been talking to Harald. I found out who Bob was after I accepted the paypal. He emailed said he would take the snake and is sending the payment. It was quick and easy. Then I looked him up on the BOI.. I missed all the drama with him. I wouldn't have took the payment if I knew who he was..

I would be as surprised as anybody if he shows up at the San Antonio show, I am sure that there are many people at that show he has been in the middle of bad dealings with. In fact I would be shocked if he was allowed to enter the show by the organizers, I have no doubt that they would show him the door as soon as he showed up.
