Heres how problems start.

Ok well ive been a member on _______ forums since I started with reptiles ( because thats the only forum I saw when I started ) well anyway I dont go their all that often because thats one of the worst forums online. The only reason I bother is because they have a good anaconda forum so I go their every so often to check on new post, well their was this one kid who was selling his green anaconda on ebay so he had a pic of an anaconda that wasent even his soo im like why not put a pic of the real snake and maybe put it on kingsnake blah blah blah I tryed helping him I turns out he was only 13 and he was moveing out of the states because his parents got a job offer in bolivia or something like that and he wouldent have space to care for it when it got big. So me and a few other people tryed to sell it but he got nothing and then was just giveing it away for free to a good home and still nothing it happen to be he lived in miami florida. So I asked him if he had the permit to have the snake, and sell it and he said no soo im like you can get into a lot of trouble for not haveing thoes permits anyway the time was comeing closer for him to move and still no sell soo he put a thread that his conda needed a new home and would give for free to a new home soo I was worried about the snake and what would happen to it if he dident sell it or give it away so I thought it was a good idea to get started on my anaconda breeding plans with this one. So after I obtained the snake I was going to get the ROC permit to keep it and once I got more anacondas that were ready to breed get the breeding permit. Anyway guess what RETARTED _____________ does??? They ban him and I can not get in contact with him. We had plans that I was going to get the snake and I couldent talk to him. Now that wasent my biggest conern, heres what pissed me off no one alse was intrested in the snake and he needed to get rid of it and was moveing in less then a month soo I wonder what did he do with the snake?? I mean he lives around 30 min away from the evergaldes and could of let it go or let it go somewhere alse and this could of been because retarted ____________ blocked him I mean WTF!?!?! I know its against the rules to advertise in post but advertise in the classifieds. He wasent selling the snake anymore and just giveing it away for free how is that bad? Now people wonder why theirs these big constictors loose in FL its because retarted people have to do something with it!! I know its kinda the kids problem too because he is like 13 and bought a snake that could reach the 16ft mark and would require a lot of time money and care but still he was doing the right thing by giveing it away,
Stuff like this just pisses me OFF :mad:

You may try to speak to a mod there and ask them if they will reinstate him long enough for you to get his contact info. The bottom line is, rules are rules. We may not always understand them and they might not always be just, but we are guests at these forums and must abide by the rules.

I understand that you are frustrated, but it's not very cool to come on here (or any other forum) and post up bad things about another forum. I know you are just venting some frustration, but often times members of one forum are mods on another. People get upset with one another if they allow their members to say bad things about their forum.

It's not any internet forum's fault if some dope releases an anaconda into the Everglades. Only an idiot who has no concern for this hobby and/or the Everglades ecosystem would do such a thing. I agree that someone might do this out of desperation if they didn't have an out, but to blame an internet forum is obsurd. It is very sad that this anaconda ended up in the hands of people who were not able to care for it.

Yea I understand. But theirs no point to ask them to get him back for a while because this kid allready moved. This just crossed my mind now. So I thought I might post it. I also put my email on one thread so he could contact me witch im sure wasent against the rules and they deleted that too. So thats what made me a little mad.

I can understand your frustration. I didn't mean to be a d!(k earlier.

Its crappy things worked out the way they did. Situations like this are my biggest concern involving future breeding I plan to do.
