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.

Paul Edwards - Hets
I will start by saying that, under normal circumstances, this post would be a bit premature. Usually, I would never post it at this point. However, given the recent developments concerning Mr. Edwards' business practices, I thought I would go ahead and post, mainly to see if others have had the same experience.
In Fall 2007 I purchased 1.2 het ghost ball python hatchlings from Paul that were advertised on KS. They were good feeders, and I got them all up to breeding size quickly. I got a clutch out of both females in 2009: one clutch of 5, and one clutch of 6 for a total of 11 eggs. Both of these girls were bred to the het ghost male that came with them. These eggs recently finished hatching, and I got zero ghosts from the 11 eggs.
Like I said, I know this could very easily be a case of bad odds / luck; however, with 11 eggs there should have been a ghost in there. I will breed the females to a homozygous ghost next year and see what happens.
Has anyone else had poor luck with hets from Paul Edwards?

Marcial, Paul offered me a piebald BP as payment for the $1100 of mine he spent paying his personal expenses. I asked him to sell the snake , I would prefer cash, he agreed. After about 6 weeks of no word I emailed Paul to say if he couldn't sell the snake I would take it and cut my losses. His response was that he had sold the snake and spent the money on business expenses. Apparently honesty is not his strong suit.

I purchased two female pastels from him. He sent me one of the ones I had ordered and another that I'd never seen. When questioned he said the other had died of an unknown illness and that I shouldn't care as one snake was just as good as another.
He didn't care at all that he didn't honor our agreement. He is indeed a liar and a cheat.
