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.

Silas Crawford & Appalachian Exotics Warning
WARNING !! WARNING !!
Silas Crawford and anything that is connected to him is a scam. I found good old Silas on this website selling a hognose snake. After sending him a western union to get my snake by Xmas for my son.....he stopped talking with me.
He took my money and no snake....I don't think there ever was a snake.
His website is listed in WV, but he used to live or is still now living in Ohio or Kentucky. Guess what? If I had been smarter (too excited about getting my son his dream snake...my first mistake) I would have checked him out a little more. He is now or maybe just visiting TX which is where I sent the western union money.
I am surprised that this website has not cancelled his registry. He has done this quite a few times before. (Bitter-yeah....you try telling your 7 yr old son that the special gift he always wanted is not coming and we've already bought the cage hot rock, you know the drill)
We have spoken with friends in Law enforcement and plan on taking this all the way.....FBI here we come.....as he took this across state lines and is abusing the internet to scam people.
Oh I even found a website that said he was looking for investors....dude...is that a joke or what.......
He ruined my sons xmas......we're looking at a $120.00 set up for a snake we never got.
I wish we would all get together and ban him from this classified, so no one else gets taken the way we did and so many others.
Pissed you bet........

Thanks for your support....and about that hot rock....sorry....last time we had a boa (15 years ago) the hot rock was all the rage...now I know to use the heating element and not the rock. I promise when and if we ever get a hog nose, we'll take the best care of it.
