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.

What questions should I ask a seller before buying 100% hets???
I am thinking about purchasing a pair of Dbl. Het for snow boas that I saw on the KS website. First I asked if the seller could hold them until January if I sent him a deposit. His reply came back this morning that he would. So I then sent him the following email:
How much would you want down for a deposit on 1.1 hets?
Do you have any pics of the parents?
What line do they come from?
Do you have references?
What forms of payment do you accept?
What are they eating, and how often?
Do you offer any kind of a guarantee?
Do you have documentation on them?
Sorry for all the questions. Just trying to cover everything.
I am very much interested in doing this.
Thank you for your time
Shane Elliott
My question is. Did I miss anything? What questions would you have asked?
By the way his name is Frank Martin out of NJ.

Shane.... you asked all the RIGHT questions! Another thing you might want to do, is go to the BOI and do a search on Frank.... I'm SURE I've seen threads about him.... although, I can't remember if they were good or bad.... if you want to save yourself some problems (not saying you WILL have any problems dealing with Frank).... if you want some of the NICEST and GUARANTEED dh snows in the business.... get in touch with Lemuel Griffin (L.A.Snakes).... he gives ALL docmentation with every sale, and he produces them HIMSELF! You should SEE his inventory.... I am SO JEALOUS!! Good luck....

Neil...
Do you have anyway for me to get in touch with Lemuel Griffin. I did a search, but could not find a phone number or a website to reach him.
Thanks

I am still corresponding through emails with Frank. He has been great. I checked all of his references, and I did a search on the BOI. Everything has come back positive.
The plan is to give Frank a call tonight, and work out any other details, and then I will place my order with him.
I had to do some real sweet talking with the wife, but she finally agreed to let me go ahead, and pay in full for the Boa's. As soon as I get them I will of course let everyone on the BOI know how things go.
Thanks again Neil, and Jackie for your help, and suggestions.
Shane
