If you carry on making such poor quality posts, I am going to lock your posts.

I have asked you to improve your post quality in the past.

No Problem!

I suggest you look for some False Water Cobras, although they do get very big.

There might be some Boiga species for sale but they are aggressive.

I think you have answered your own question there; the best option for you is a Hognose Snake

Ditto - Hognose Snake will be your BEST option. They aren't cheap but they are great snakes.

I agree, stick with a pair of Hognose's.
Why does it have to be exotic?, Is it because of permit requirements?

There are some pretty awesome indigenous mildly venomous around, Tiger's for example, they also would not cost as much as a pair of Hognose's.

Of course, my personal preference would be the False Water Cobra's, Big Fast, Aggresive, Insane feeding response.

Just my two cents worth.

Since when are you 22 Jordan you are only 15. You have been bitten a few times doing stupid things. I thought you have then got 500 snakes as you said. Zebra spitters, Bitis xeropaga and so on.

Please restrict this guys posts and review them before they are posted and he wastes any ones time. You order snakes then don't pay for them. You claim to have snakes we place an order you never deliver. You always have this mystery friend that drops you. Come back when you grow up and finish school, and when you have something constructive to add.

ReptileWrangler - This post is a Year and a Half old. March 2011.

I understand your sentiments, as I have followed Jordan and his antics on FaceBook. Just making a note that this is perhaps not the post to comment on.

If anyone else has had run-ins with Jordan aka iluvsnakes please post it here so that we dont restrict someone just on the say of a single member.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Did the pygmy rattler come from you guys?

HI,sorry I only saw this post now. Shaun..I have never once in my life ordered snakes and never paid for them.I WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE MONEY 1ST AND THEN THE DEAL HAPPENS,I DO NOT CHEAT ANYONE!!
2- I have never promised you anything
3- I have made a deal with you and then cancelled at the end because i have found cheaper somewhere else(if you where 15 you would take the cheaper option too)
4-only been tagged once

Im not going to sit and argue over a forum,I know I have my bunch of haters out there..Formed because I do not agree with what some people say and I do not sit back about it.
I find it funny how people who have never met me,done a deal with me,or talked to me,know so much about me.
regards JORDAN
