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.

Breeding Loan - Owner Gone Missing
I did a few breeding loans this season involving my cornsnakes because some how I managed to be short a few males. All were very successful & all males were returned to their respective owners except one.
I have a beautiful Charcoal male still here, and I can not get a hold of the owner. She is not answering my PMs or Emails, and her phone number is out've service. I posted an inquiry on cs.com in hopes that maybe someone would have contact with her, but nothing. I've had him here since February, and I'm not sure what to do.
Any suggestions?

No, I don't think you understand. It seems like she dropped off the face of the Earth. She lived a few hours North from me. I have tried contacting her here and via cs.com. She wasn't very active here, but was on cs.com. No one knows anything.
I'm sending a letter out to the address I have for her. But, if it goes unanswered, what should I do with this snake?

It was given to you on breeding loan.
I think the key word here is loan.
Even if you cant get in touch with her,i would suggest that you continue to care or the animal. If and when you find her and/or she shows up on your door step requesting her snake then you may ask for some funding to cover the costs of upkeep on HER animal.
But you did say breeding loan,so were any clutches sired by him?And did you inturn profit from that clutch?
The safest thing and the right thing to do is to continue to care for it until SHE lets you know what you can do with her animal.If you do anything else you may be opening a can of worms.
Just my opinion

Please do not lecture me on how to handle a breeding loan. I have successfully handled 2 other breeding loans this year without mishap. This has been my only issue, and in truth, it is not anything in my control. The whole point of this is I CAN NOT locate her.
My point is, how long should I wait? 1 year? 2 years? I really do not want to continue houseing & feeding an animal that is not mine nor will be in any of my projects.
The last time I heard from her was on May 15th when the 2 eggs from the first clutch he fathered with one of my Amel Stripes hatched. Since then, their has been nothing.
I am very concerned because she was always very quick to respond to me.

So you would suggest to hold onto the snake, even if 5 years down the road I still have no reply?

I gave you a solid opinion.
By the tone of your reply ,my opinion was not received well by you.
So tell me why should i give you another opinion?

60 to 90 days of effort on your part to locate this person is adequate as far I am concerned.
Sell the male, and maybe hold on to one of his offspring you can make a deal on if the owner of the father ever shows up.
And chris, a tad harsh there, may want to lighten up a bit.
