Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I sent many emails, but yet no reply. Unfortunately i did not find out about his thieving ways till after the fact. Which is actually how i stumbled upon Fauna Classifieds. The icing on the cake was, when i was attending a reptile expo in Cleveland, ohio. A vendor who I was purchasing a Tarantula from told me he get his Tegu hatchlings from a breeder in Florida. Wouldn't you know it, just so happened to be our buddy Bobby. Who had sold him some Tegus in early spring. Small world. Ive since considered it a loss. Just really grinds my gears. Wish I was a Fauna member a little sooner. oh well just thought i should share my super awesome experience with everyone . Thanks for the shoulder

Thanks for coming forward with your bad experience with Bobby Hill and I also wish you were a fauna member sooner so you could have avoided this.anyone else that has had a bad experience with Bobby should take the time to post it here.

So, what ever happened to Bobby? I remember him being the “Tegu King” and had the best tegus on the market back when I found his website in 2010-2011, does he still breed them today? or did he just disappear?

He disappeared and the tegu problem in FL was a result of it if I remember right.

Oh wow, I didn’t know that. Was he the source of the “firebelly” trait?

In all honesty you can not blame that on him.

He didn't help that situation and leaving the animals and disappearing while they escaped his farm only exasperated the situation and then it made the news and poof spread like fire about invasive animals in FL.

As for fire belly tegus, they arent a genetic trait and some lose the color and others don't.

If they aren’t genetic, then what is it?
