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.

The information is that Don Kesserick got sentenced in a plea deal to 15 years probation . 500 hours of community service and 225,000 in restitution for his involvement in stealing Morton Wrights snakes in 2005. Its ashamed that the court was OK with that considering at the time of the theft the adult gravid females should likely have produced that much in value of offspring that season.
But at least Now we all know publically and through the court system what happened.
It will be interesting to see if this is the last of it or if his
"partners" will bear some of the courts attentions..

It's a real shame that this type of thing happens. I wish Morten the best of luck with all of this.

Absolutely. In addition paying $500 per month or $6,000 per year it will take 33 years to pay the $200,000! It's really ridiculous.

Ah, but if the slime misses one payment it is contempt of court and he can serve the remainder of the 15 years. Of course if he is in jail he can re-pay nothing so it makes sense to make the payment reasonable.
