    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

FYI: Selling, and even possessing, venomous species in Florida without a license is illegal.
 
Im not sure of the laws...

I posted on craigslist and was directed over hee...I didnt come on with the intention of selling ...I am pretty much a native to the keys and have never found one in my life...So here in palm beach gardens....Its really unique..so i posted with ideas on what to do with it ..because i dont want to kill it...But this is a neighborhood full of kids so i gotta do something ..So it was suggested to put it over here....
 
bring it out to away from town and houses and let it go in a park area or somplace near where you found it
and let it go
 
I second that motion, even though you said on here Your intent was to sell, in all hopes I hope you take it to one of the many parks on the Key Islands and let it go. It deserves to live a free life and prob wouldn't do so well in captivity neways. Good luck.
 
I think he wanted to sell it, but once found it was illegal wants to back track it. Either way it should be released into it's natural enviroment. Like stated before take it away from your area and release it. Atleast you are willing to do that and had the kids in your area on your mind.
 
Dear goddd!!! go put that animal back where it belongs (but away from neighborhoods). It's pretty obvious you have no idea what you're doing otherwise you would have at least known about the permit. This is how people end up getting bit and in the hospital. Perfect example of someone who has no has no business messing with something he shouldn't be messing with to begin with. I can see a "Darwin Award" in the works here. Please don't end up getting bit and with your face plastered all over the news thus giving snakes a worst rep than they tend to have and in the process making herpers (which you're obviously not one) look bad in the public eye.
 
Another prime example of why internet message boards have turned to crap and serious herpers have left them behind. This guy is a layman. He obviously needs some information….but rather then getting what he needs, he gets insulted. Great job guys! Its going to be a mercy killing when this forum is shut down.
 
Chuck,

What information was this guy asking for? He came on here obviously not knowing (or caring to know) anything about this snake. He wanted to make a quick buck - plain and simple. He only asked for information when he was called out.

And he was also given advice. Several people told him to "take it away from the neighborhoods and let it go." What more info did he need?

So I'm not sure what you're point is :shrug01:
 
take a look at the post by Juan I Gracia and if you dont see my point about this being insulting, then i dont think i could be able to explain it to you.
 
Not to mention the fact that he is automatically breaking the law by capturing and attempting to sell it. I would say the members were trying to set this guy straight with sound advice.

you're right that post was insulting for the very simple reason that that's the way I intended it to be. I'm sorry you don't agree but ultimately this in't someone who is a member of this community or even attempting to become a member of our hobby. This is someone who found an animal, a dangerous one at that, and is attempting to hock it for some fast cash. Like I said he has absolutely no business messing with that animal and is even breaking the law by having it. If he were to be bit or the authorities were to find him and he were to make the news do you think they would objectively portray the situation as just some jackass trying to make a quick buck? Perhaps it would be portrayed as just another careless and incompetent herper.


Had he gone to one of the many forums here or elsewhere to find information on how to responsibly and legally keep this animal my tone would be completely different and I would definitely try to help out wth whatever info I could, we all have to learn form somewhere and none of us just woke up knowing all there is to know about this hobby, but again this is not the case this is someone who is simply trying to exploit this poor animal and ilegally at that. I don't know perhaps my view is wrong on this matter, perhaps we'll just have to agree to disagree.
 
This went on a tangent right off for obvious reasons. While the discussion of the legalities of this situation are I suppose on topic given the circumstances, let's quit with the insults. This is still the classifieds section.

That being said, the OP would be wise to take the advice of others and release the snake in an appropriate area and delete this ad. Of course if you don't mind making yourself a blatant target for the authorities by admitting on a public forum to breaking the law and attempting to break another one then by all means leave it. If they haven't seen it yet, I'm sure they will soon.
 
This seller is clearly out to make a buck I see he has re posted again ... how many people have to advise him he should set it free, far from houses and people as possible you arent going to sell it just set it free !!!!!

Wait, Where did he re-post? If he has then he obviously didn't get the message and doesn't care about the legality of the situation. Perhaps it's time someone notified Florida Fish & Game about this thread and this individual. We have some of his personal info here and with an IP check there might be a way for authorities to locate him. perhaps a nice fine will will get the message through his hard head.:angry:
 
I think it's time to let this ad sink to the depths. The OP hasn't even logged in for two weeks...since his last post in this thread.
 
My point exactly! Why would he? After being insulted and threatened by police action.

Guys, this guy clearly needed information. He didn’t know it was illegal to catch and sell the snake. Sure, he wanted to sell it, but I would far rather him sell it then kill it. Rather then insult and threaten someone, who obviously didn’t know any better, why not offer information?

In the early days of this board, questions like this were fielded by me, ray hunter, mardi snipes, jim Harrison. I assure you of two things…we never treated people like you modern day experts do and none of the people listed above still come here to try to help. The distain has driven us all away.
 
As previously mentioned, most of this is not appropriate to the classifieds. Take it to the discussion forum.
