And the winner of the new pet snake is…

PetSnakes — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 21:39:46 +0000

Well the winner has been chosen finally. I had planned to post this at 5pm EST but was having a little trouble with the video recording software. Anyhow it finally worked and then I realized I didn’t zoom in on the screen but figured it wasn’t fair to practice on it so I just took the number it gave me and ran with it. So, without any further delay…

You’ll have to watch the video in full screen to see what actually happens. If you’d just like to read about it, skip to the text below the video.

That’s right the of the free snake is number 38. Number 38 will be getting an email from us within the next 24 hours and then will have 72 hours to respond. If this person does not respond we will generate another random number to select the winner.

Thanks to everyone who entered and don’t forget to sign up for our RSS Feed so you’ll know the details of our next contest beginning in September 2009.

I will be requesting that the winner allow us to use their first and last name in a future post to verify there actually was a winner, but I’m NOT going to publish this person’s email address on the site.

Win a free ball python contest is over!

PetSnakes — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 21:02:59 +0000

We’d like to thank all the people who signed up for the free ball python contest that we were running. As of 5pm EST today (8/15/09) the contest has ended. The winner will be chosen tomorrow at 5pm tomorrow with specific instructions for verification purposes. Once verified we will be in touch with BHB Reptiles to complete the transaction.

There were over 200 sign ups for the contest, but over 50 people were disqualified. All of them for not verifying their email address. Sorry, but we weren’t willing to risk entering email addresses into a contest that the owner hadn’t taken the time to verify. We also manually removed a few entries because they seemed a little fishy to me. I’m sorry, but freebpcontest1@email_address1, freebpcontest@email_address2, freebpcontest@email3 etc, etc, etc stinks of multiple entries from the same source. Rather than taking a risk I made an administrative decision and removed all entries of that kind.

We’re going to be hold another contest at the beginning of September but the only way you will know about it is by being subscribed to our RSS Feed. Please note this is different than being subscribed to the email feed, but more contests will be held through that method as well in the future.
