NOTICE!!! - Check the BOI!

And I might add don't forget to do your positive BOI's if you had a great experience with someone. I know I am guilty. I will get everyone that I bought snakes from this year, I just haven't sat down to do it yet.

But I know that really helps with people decisions as well.
 
A reminder to actually READ the threads. I know for a fact that there are threads (one very recently posted) where the title says "Bad Guy" but the OP actually turns out to be the liar and the cheat and the supposed bad guy is in reality a "Good Guy". There is one older thread where the title asks who the bad guys to avoid are but members were replying with the names of breeders they recommend and my name was mentioned, but if you didn't go past the title, you could falsely assume I am one of the bad guys.
 
It is very important to read the BOI when you're considering buying an animal from anyone.
If you don't see a BOI thread for someone you're considering buying from, ask around. It's better to research & avoid heartache.
 
I can not urge new members strongly enough to check the BOI before you buy online. A few minutes searching could save you a lot of heartache.
 
Very Important!!!!!!!!!! Check the BOI!!!!!!!!!!! If you don't know what that means, I or any other mod can help you.

Great point Susan!! The BOI is littered with "Bad Guy" threads that turned out to be without merit and the OP of said threads was exposed for a cheat/scammer/liar/etc.
 
Tara? You read my mind!! I was just on my way here, thinking the very same thing.

Check out everyone before getting or buying from them.... no matter the kind of animal you are getting. A person can Never be too safe about the animals they are bringing into their homes. Cant find someone? Please ask around or start a thread asking!

Want to know why we keep bumping the BOI thread? Because someone here is selling snakes that have a high likelihood of dying. If you don't already know who it is- PM me. I'll hook you up with a VERY informative BOI thread! Hint- this person locks their For Sale threads so new people can't be warned.

That's good mods for you folks...
I love the BOI... It protects the honest seller....
 
But only if people know to check it. Unfortunately, innocent buyers frequently find out after it's too late and they get screwed over by SOMEONE.
 
I hope more learn to read the BIO, also I can help too if anyone needs help with the BOI. I know if I had known I would not have had the heartache and misery I had earlier this year.
 
Bumping this up for newbies...be sure to check the BOI thread before buying animals!
It could save you money & heartache.
 
One wonders why a person would lock their for sale post. Perhaps they have something to hide!
 
If you post a 'Bad Guy' thread on the BOI, you have to inform the person you're posting it about, right? But if you post a 'Good Guy' thread, do you have to inform the person?
 
I don't believe there is a rule about informing the person you are posting about, either way. Although the BOI wolves will tear you to shreds if you don't inform someone of a Bad Guy post. But double check the rules on that, I could be wrong.
