Just a thought-
If you are new to the site, my recommendation is that you post a little about yourself before posting wanted lists, especially if these wanted lists include gaboons, mambas, etc. Just my opinion...There have been alot of wanted adds from people that are new..
I realize that we request you fill out your profile before posting, but that doesn't seem enough. It would be nice to get this back to the times when everyone seemed to know each other...
Thanks everyone for 6 years of being on this site!Well, possibly 5, not sure;)

Adam, very good point! Folks who take the trouble of filling out their profiles are going to get a much better response from their listings in the classifieds.
No one wants to deal with an unknown person.
Best Regards JohnZ

Speaking of classified scammers...JeremyTMoore had some very strange posts on different forum...he is definitely not a 50 year old herpetologist and his profile is made up...not sure about his age but he is very young.

Jeremy, just leave it...someone who is 50 years old doesn't have the need to post stolen pictures claiming the animals are from his collection...
You have already made a fool of yourself on the other forum.
This is a cool website and people in here watch out for each other. If they see wanted add like yours they are going to make sure, that dangerous animals do not end up in inexperienced hands.
It's not anything personal...if you have the need to make up stories that's one thing - it's silly but nobody gets hurt. However if you are trying to purchase a dangerous animals pretending you have a ton of experience it puts you in danger just as well as the hobby.

Well said! When someone new comes in, and posts a wanted add for basically the top 10 deadliest snakes, it makes us very wary. On top of that, you post that you keep all kinds of sea snakes, which is VERY hard to believe.
We are trying to keep the accidents down, and it sounds like you are on waiting to happen. PLus, you posted a few months ago a bunch of wanted adds, but in your profile you were only 20 something?! Looks like you scanned a pisture of your grandfather on your profile.
We don't like trolls on this site, and have become very expereinced in finding them!!!!

once again- today there is an add where a guy wants a king cobra, but with no profile filled out.
are people this stupid? Or are some of these dealers actually seeing that with money signs in their eyes?
