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.

The 20 gallon was literally never used or quickly changed within a week? What happened to two 20 gallon tanks?

Kevin -- Thanks for posting those up .. I am obviously the Alan in the FB postings .. I was trying to determine what is anything a vet did for the Uros ... seems strange that one would take them to an exotic vet/specialist who would do an evaluation/exam (determined WC and incorrect ages, dewormed them, administered electrolytes (assume Sub-G fluids), and prescribed antibiotic .. all for free and no paperwork ... but then she couldn't pay for antibiotics which would have been the cheapest part of vet service ... that in addition to the fact as I pointed out in another thread .. Keven got pretty beaten up for lack of vet proof and/or something along those lines .. so seemed only fair to want to see vet proof here too ... neither produced .. all animals treated "off the record" apparently.
There were definitely mistakes made by both, miscommunication, fingers pointed, and false information ... none of this is meant to come across as cold .. I am actually very empathetic and compassionate ... sadly with all the mistakes made by people ... it was the poor critter that ultimately suffered for it!

I think Keven's only real crimes here are that he 1) shipped at unsafe temperatures even if the animals did end up being fine afterwards, and 2) trusting that Tabea was actually going to fix the husbandry issues he discovered.
Tabea clearly did no research on Uromastyx care. Using coconut oil to get a shed off (??? seriously??) and claiming these two animals had "bonded" just shows a level of wanton ignorance that really can't be fixed with any amount of advice.
I think Keven did the best he could once he discovered Tabea had no real desire to care for these animals properly. To me, Keven made mistakes but isn't the bad guy here. Tabea has consistently lied, been combative, and now is trying to throw Keven under the bus presumably because she is aware of his previous problems (which are now resolved in another BOI thread) and thought she could garner sympathy here.
Also, Kevin, thank you for posting all those Facebook screenshots. They really helped shed some light on what really happened here. Tabea, you need to take full responsibility for your mistakes and stop blaming Keven. You were shipped healthy animals that I sincerely doubt were wild caught like you and your supposed vet claims. You killed one animal through poor husbandry. End of story.

"Everyone told me that uros can't be together but I firmly believe that any animals can coexist."
That has to be one of the most blazingly ignorant statements I've seen in a while. People told her not to do it, but she did it anyway because she has a "belief?" The seller is on the hook for poor shipping practices and not vetting the customer properly, but the animal's death is squarely in the buyer's court. God, this just makes me angry.
Tabea, if you can't see that reptiles are different from beanie babies, that you can't just pose them together and call it "love" or "bonding," do all of us a favor and escort yourself out of the hobby.

Since when did "vetting" the customer become a popular practice? That is absurd. I never bought a pet I didn't do alot of homework on first. This thread is ridiculous. If you don't know how to swim, you don't buy a swimming pool.

Not sure I seen a cost of the uros, I would like to know what was paid minus shipping costs.
The op has shown to shy away from the truth and Keven has proven to be a repeated lier in another tread.

What did you pay for each uro not including shipping?
