Hi Stuard,
i have deactivated his account, as i found out that Armand Belier is not his right name... well, everyone knows our "true-name rule" here, if someone can't follow this simple rule, we certainly kick them off the board... i do not know, why someone need to hide his real name in the first place..??
cheers Mario _________________ Attitude, rather than disposition is more definitive of serpent behavior.

What's the reason? forgotten password maybe? _________________ Cobras - breathtaking beauties!

| A good question indeed. One does have possibilities to proof that, even it's the usual way to trust adult people sharing the same hobby or profession. Almost everyone of us is leaving his tracks here and there in the www - with his nicks, his real name or his e-mail-adress - or with combinations of'em. In many cases, i know the real names of people who registered with nicks first before the finally register correct. But as Mario already said, it's a simple, but well-working rule - and everybody should be honestly here - and most users do anyway, that's great. I just don't wanna talk to people hiding their names for some reason - maybe they have to hide other things too? Cheers Peter _________________ Cobras - breathtaking beauties!

Chrisopher Mchale - Very familiar name, he has a YouTube channel (christophermchale).
Says he has a collection of over 20 specimens of all 4 of the Dendroaspis species, looks like he's got quite a large collection aswell. - Also keeps WC Vipera berus (Bred them last year).
From what he says, he is a supplier at London Zoo. - I have reasons to believe (from his own mouth actually) that he doesn't hold a DWA Lisence. Now, if he was an unlisenced keeper, it suggests to me that London Zoo wouldn't associate dealings of animals with him.
He said to me, he was selling off his entire collection, all animals were spoken for and waiting collection, and he was emigrating to somewhere outside of Europe. (I think South Africa). Originally from the USA.
Either way....It seems that not many people have dealings with him....I wounder why that may be? |

| As far as I know him he is a great guy. Haven't had a deal with him as I couldn't bring up the money at that moment but he even offered to bring them to France. Then we did not have to come all the way to the UK. His snakes look awesome and really healthy! |

| I don’t think that young Jimmy realises that Dangerous Wild Animals Licenses (DWAL) are designed to allow private citizens to keep dangerous animals such as venomous snakes etc. I don’t hold a DWAL and have never kept anything under a DWAL. My licence comes direct from the British Government and has nothing to do with Local Councils. Prior to that I was working under the Zoo licensing Act.
I don’t know sure, but I suspect Chris is/was operating under a dealers / shop licence.
Oh and my name is real enough LOL |
