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.

Bobby Hill - Varnyard Herps: Buyers Beware.
I just wanted to give everyone a heads up, that Vanyard Herps (Bobby Hill) did not send out his 2012 summer tegu hatchlings. I had put a $75 deposit down in early June, he assured me they would hatch the last week of June, in which the rest of the money was due, and they'd ship the last week of July. Well, the last week of June came, and I heard nothing from him, so I sent him an email. I got no reply. So I gave it 2 more weeks, and sent another email. Still no reply. I finally left him a few messages and called, but never got an answer. So it's the end of July, going on August. No work from him in over a month, and i'm out $75.
So i'm just letting you all know, incase you did put a deposit down and have not received your tegu, you probably won't be getting it. I was hoping he could at least be honest and just tell me if the clutch was bad, or didn't hatch as planned. But I never heard back from my emails or phone calls.
This was my first time buying from Bobby Hill, and I can say it will be my last.

I pointed it out in your first attempt (in another section), but you still spelled it wrong...
For the sake of the search engines, it is Varnyard Herps.
You might be interested in one of his recent threads, in which he failed to deliver & gave only a fractional refund after a year. http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...d.php?t=325109

Do you still have any email correspondence, PayPal receipt for your deposit, text messages or anything else to post, that would back up your claims? Not that it's hard to believe he's pulled this stunt AGAIN, but just for posterity's sake.
Sadly, this seems to be a bit of a recurring theme for Bobbie. Piss-poor communication, and not delivering the goods in a timely manner, if at all. For those of you who may have missed it, here's another thread where Bobby screwed a customer, BIG TIME:
http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...light=varnyard
You may want to add your experiences with him to that thread, also. Gotta wonder if he'll even bother showing up and spouting his drivel in person, this time. We are, after all, a bunch of trolls. Expecting the guy to communicate effectively, provide what was paid for, or give a prompt FULL refund if/when he can't deliver..what a bunch of vicious and unreasonable people we are.

Don't people remember the old saying, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch"??? It's the same with herps. Until those eggs turn into live animals, you have no product and really shouldn't be taking people's money. At the very least, set the deposit money aside so you'll have it if a refund is needed. I never spend a customers money until they've received their animal and state that they're happy with it. Saves a lot of problems in the end. Bobby obviously isn't the brightest light on the tree, but you would think that he might at least have some common business sense by now. Apparently not though.

You speak with a forked tongue, with deception and bad intentions Bobby Hill. you are a liar, many have paid you in full but you have not sent what you said you would.
Karma has a way of coming back to people like you in a bad way.

Is there any news on this sad situation?
I was just going through my user cp and found something Bobby sent me back in 2009 regarding a different BOI bad guy thread where he was coming down hard on the bad guy.
"No free pass for lies on the BOI, Re-Read before posting"
Just kind of cracks me up a bit, considering the current situation.

What a hypocrite!
Bobby Hill has turned out to be one of the biggest scammers the BOI has ever seen, I would rank him along side of Chris Johnson of top shelf exotics as the top 2 scammers ever.
