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.

Stay away from oni131, very bad buisness
This guy has nerve and will lie to you and often times will post things he does not have and so fourth. I live in San Diego and originally met this guy on craigslist. He had an ad for a 17 foot scrub python. Supposedly he and his family were relocating to Florida because that is where his wife was being stationed at with the Navy and he could not take his scrub python with him because supposedly you need to have a certain type of permit in Florida. So I struck a deal with him for a unrelated pair of blood pythons for his scrub. He talked a good game and sounded very knowledgeable. I drove over 120 miles that day to meet him, only for me to find out he gave me the wrong address and when I called him he would not pick up and ignored my calls. This wasn't just bad for me, but it was bad for my blood pythons that we're probably stressed from the long ride. I let it go and contacted him about a month later, he pretended to have no memory of that what so ever, but to make up for it he said he would have his wife bring me the scrub python as she was still based down here in San Diego. I scheduled my work around that day and lost some money only for her never to show up and for him again to ignore my calls, he finally responded to an email that I wrote him, giving me the excuse that his son had a toothache and had to go to the dentist, he then tried to b.s. me some more and said he could not answer his phone nor contact me because the dentist didn't allow calls to be made out of the office. He then said I will have my wife bring it this week and I never heard from him again. About three weeks later I see on craigslist a post saying, never trust a person with white lip pythons, I read it and it sounded like the same thing that happened to me, the guy drove over 3 hours and waited and was flaked on. I contacted the guy and sure enough it was Lee as that is what he calls him self, his actual first name is Brian. What I have not mentioned is that the guy is so full of lies, he also claims to do huge business with stores like Triple LLL and many other places, when I asked them they had no idea who he was. He even claimed to be a moderator here on Fauna, and he claimed to be a huge breeder of white lip pythons. This guy is full of B.S., stay away from him, there are plenty of other people on here who have the same reptiles that this guy pretends to have that will not give you the run around!!!
Thanks for your time,
John Jackson

Looks like his wife has an account here, too...or he's got an alter ego (I suppose it could be coincidence, and this person is in no way related, but I'm not inclined to believe that). Username "chinacat" shares the same registration IP as oni131, and states in one of her posts (text bolded by me):

Interestingly, she posted in one of his ads...commenting that she had seen them (the snakes) and how bright they were, then made an offer.
