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.

Underground Reptiles
I brought a Moroccan cobra to Underground Reptiles in response to their message that they would look at it and make an offer. I never heard back but saw it for sale online for $350. I contacted them and was made an offer which I found too low and said the animal would be picked up. Within a week and with no further communication the animal was sold. I received no compensation.

If that is what happened that's awful, but personally I would never leave an animal with someone or enter into an agreement that is not fully agreed upon, with that being said you deserve to have your animal back and at least there is small claims court but I don't know what you show for damages because you didn't have an agreed-upon price when you left it

Why would you leave an animal with someone with no agreement regarding the compensation parameters and with a company with such an awful reputation.

A couple of years ago they were implicated in spreading a deadly fungal infection and in fact they still carrying wild caught North American snakes which means their facility is likely to be infested with it again at any time. Personally, I wouldn't want the snake back once it had been through those doors!

I don't quite understand what you are saying.
Did you receive your snake back?

Melissa, what I gather from the OP's post is that Underground Reptiles had posted an ad that they were looking for new stock, and people could bring them animals and they would make an offer.
The OP brought a Moroccan cobra to Underground, and left it there to get an offer. Instead, the animal was sold without being paid for, and the OP never received compensation for the animal.
Is this correct, garsik?
My questions are:
1. Were you told to leave the animal with Underground Reptiles pending an offer?
2. Why did you wait so long to bring this to the BOI? With several years having gone by, it may be difficult to recoup any expenses now.

Where did you see when this happened, is the OP posting elsewhere?
OP, please bring emails and screenshots here.
