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.

Has ANYONE attempted to buy the snakes from him, shipped or picked up? Has he refused to give his address to anyone who wanted to buy them locally? Is there any proof that this guy is anything but what he claims to be?
SHRAP, you are tarring with a wide brush, and I'd require a lot more proof than what you've offered before I damaged another user's reputation the way you are trying to do here.
I don't know Kevin. I've never tried to visit Kevin or purchase from Kevin, as I live on the west coast and try to buy locally when possible. I do know that he has answered any questions I had for him, has provided details about the snakes he has for sale when requested, and has done nothing that I am aware of to deserve the insult you've posted.

This guy is a P.O.S. scammer. Period!! In my humble opinion. Open the link Sammy posted and Read it.

I read the linked thread, as well as the threads linked within THAT thread, in its and their entireties. The sole piece of evidence is ONE post that purports to prove that he and a user he defended were posting from the same ISP. As I don't know where the person posting the alleged proof got his information, that is not sufficient evidence for me to accept Sam's statement at face value. Neither the tenor or the substance of the posts by Kevin and the other person he is alleged to be seem consistent with one author.
Again, if anyone has been denied an opportunity to view the snakes for sale, or has felt Kevin was attempting to defraud or mislead them, I would like them to post that. If not, the "evidence" is not enough for me. Users hurling further insults don't persuade me that the original one was merited.

Not just the same ISP... the same IP address. Which is as singularly identifiable as a finger print. Every IP address given to a computer is 100% unique. No two in the entire world are the same. They were posting from the exact same computer.

Oh and the person posting the proof was Dr. Jay Owens. One of this sites Super Mods. Every post made on any forum logs the unique IP ADDRESS of the person posting. People aint as anonymous as they think on the internet.

Just in case you haven’t noticed the guy selling "nicksexoticreptiles" gave Casey a phone number.
A search on that phone number came back to crimsonexotics. Nothing more to prove.

He was selling pieds he doesn't have and using other people's pictures. I am amazed that you would want to drum up business for someone as shady as this. Maybe you want to try to sell CRE's hets for them as well since they are so cheap. Get real.

Let me see here........one lives in Jersey, the other from MD, but they are both posting from the exact same computer. He claimed they were pictures taken about 6 months ago of HIS snakes, but the pictures are of snakes owned by 3 different people, none of which are HIM, at least one of which was taken 4 years ago. "Nick's" phone number is traced back to belonging to crimsonexotics, who is posting as if he is a friend of Nick's. There's more, but I lose track of all of the inconsistancies and outright LIES this guy has told.
You don't see anything wrong with this picture??????

Putting aside the scammer allegations for a moment, I have another problem with his original post. A corn snake cannot be possible het for creamsicle. The term creamsicle describes a hybrid or intergrade (depending on your view of the taxonomy) of corn and emoryi. It either has emoryi blood in it, or it does not.
