Hello!

I was on your website and interested in learning about your 2013 stock and what you have or will have available. Thanks!

Just wow... If he's still brazenly trying to rip people off, it shouldn't be too hard for law enforcement to do something about it. All they have to do is act like a buyer and give him enough rope to hang himself.

or maybe bobby hasnt gone insane yet and those weren't his tegus you never know for sure and if he is replying to you he either wants more money or he hasnt lost it yet

Just because he has ripped off people, abandoned animals and basically behaved like a scumbag, it DOES NOT mean he's insane. It just means he's a crook.

Couldn't have said it better.

They are definitely his Tegus. I have known Bobby since before he started breeding Tegus and that is his place. I have no idea what happened to make the change in him, however about two years ago he did change and we have not spoken to him since.

I have also had a bad experience with Bobby Hill of Varnyard Herps. I had contacted him via email in early May. He responded back to me fairly quickly with the info i needed to put a deposit down on a 2013 Arg. B/W Tegu hatchling. Once i sent him the deposit of 75$. It was like he was ghost. 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

Of course everyone realizes that. But as long as Bobby is still taking money with no desire to provide promised product, this will continue to be bumped up and added to, as it should be.

He is 100% deserving of the bad guy moniker at this point.
