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.

Aaron with TeguNation
My name is Josh Barraza. I own TortoiseForum, TeguTalk and a few other forums like this one. I also own a local pet shop in SoCal.
Aaron, the owner of Tegunation.com, called me at my store one night needing an incubator. His tegu had just laid eggs at 7pm at night. He was without deli cups, vermiculite, he was in a real bind. I told him don't sweat it, just bring the eggs asap so they don't spoil and I'll get you set up. My incubator was already running and I had all the supplies. When he arrived, after we closed, I let him in and we got his eggs taken care of. I didn't charge him a dime but we agreed that he'd put my female Argentine with his male for a week.
A few weeks passed with Aaron's eggs in my incubator while he got his set up. When he was ready, he picked them up. Again I charged him NOTHING out of good faith. My female was still waking up from hibernation so I said I'd be in touch in a week or two when she was ready to pair .
Now that my female is ready and Aaron has his eggs he's nowhere to be found. He doesn't reply to my messages. He doesn't acknowledge acknowledge that I helped him for free and that he's backing out on his end of the deal we both verbally agreed on.
This is NOT someone I'd trust or ever do business with again. Buyer beware!

Were these interactions all verbal or do you happen to have texts to/from him that you could post?

Joshua I have a couple of questions please. First, what is Aaron's last name, so that readers can identify him?
Second,since I am not familiar with tegu breeding, and it seems to be relevant to this story, I'm just curious as to why this was such an emergency, tegus in the wild don't use incubators, couldn't any proper substrate that was warm enough serve his needs until an incubator was procured?

His full name is Aaron Aguilar.
I'm not sure why his situation was so dire. He had told me this clutch was laid early in the season and he was unprepared on all fronts for it. I'm not experienced with tegu breeding.

This seems like an informal agreement - you did Aaron a favor and he hasn't reciprocated as he should have. Kind of a jerk move by him to ignore you later, but unless you had some kind of formal arrangement I'm not sure there is much you can do. Other than decline to help him out next time he is in a bind.
