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.

Call the fedex place and see if they have video of you opening the box in the store. Most store fronts have cameras in todays age. If they do have the video I am sure they will let you copy it to prove you opened that box in the store and found a dead snake.

This is a picture of the snake that I chose. If anybody ends up with this snake in their collection PLEASE post here. This would clear my name of any wrong doing. If this in fact was Mr. Castillo's mix up and he makes this right with me I will be the first one to stand up and apologize for any hurt feelings, and all will be forgiven. I completely understand that people make mistakes, it is how they resolve their mistakes if indeed this was just a picture error. However their is the possibility that he sent me a snake that was dead before it was put into the box. I would also like to congratulate the person who does acquire that snake for acquiring such a beautiful snake.

Hello,
When my wife was taking pictures for me I was trying out two different backgrounds to see what looked better the black or the white background for my Pieds. The pictures that are saved on her camera is PiedM8 (black BG) & PiedM8 (White BG). I didn't even realize myself they were the same snake until now. I could not locate a picture of PiedM10 either it was never taken or deleted by mistake when re-taking pictures or deleting out of focus pictures etc; I really don’t know. Since there is no picture saved as Pied10 my wife’s and it was mislabeled on my computer when I made the ad on Kingsnake.com I will take full responsibility. I think because the pied is dead and stretched out it makes him look so much bigger.
Again, it was a mistake we are all human. Truly in my eye’s I thought I was right but since I don’t have a picture of PiedM10 I will take the blame. Mr. & Mrs. Paszkievz I apologize for my mistake.
I feel this was a good tread for me because this shows my customer’s and any future customer that I’m there before and after the purchase and I do make things right and take care of my customers.
Again, it was not on purpose it was a mistake on my part. I will issue the refund through PayPal.
Shawn,
Please post that your received the refund. Again, I apologize and I glad we were able to resolve this issue.

Dead shipments happen. It is sad, unfortunate, and tragic, but not always anybodys fault... it's living up to your live arrival guarantee that counts. My hat's off to you on your resolution.

Judging by the inside of the deli cup, whether it's regurge, feces, or both, it seems pretty clear that the snake was alive when put into the cup.

I just received a phone call from Mr. Castillo he said that there was indeed a mixup with his photos and has agreed to refund my money. I will write a detailed apology letter for taking this this far. After the money is in my account and I get some sleep. I would like to thank everybody that helped point out any details on the photos. I would like to apologize now for any smart ass allegations that I have made towards Michael Castillo. Thanks for the support good or bad, Shawn

I'm not really sure you have much of anything to apologize for. Seems to me that you were accused of trying to defraud the seller out of a refund he didn't think you deserved. Taking it this far is likely the only reason you're getting your refund. The BOI is here for a reason, and in this instance I believe it did it's job.
