    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Bad deal with Bobby Pruett and Ty Young!!!

You see webslave.

Some people expect you to read EACH AND EVERY single reply.
SPECIALLY in bobby's threads.

Someone says that they can bet EVERYONE else gets warned except people doing it against bobby.

Oh no. I said someone and did not give a name.


p.s. if you all really want I can go get the quotes.


I just posted them Ritchie...RIGHT ABOVE UR POST...And nice way to make fun of someone ........showing ur true colors now?????????
 
I think Ritchie is inferring that there is another message in this thread where a name is mentioned. That may well be so. Did YOU check, Annette? I certainly didn't, and I am not going to. Nor do I expect Ritchie to in order to prove a point.

But from what I read, and the size of this thread, I would say there is a real good chance that is the case here.
 
Here are my true colors.

Hey webslave.
The person complaining about the third party post of Jim's
is a person who knows EXACTLY who Jim is talking about.
Jim is talking about Noe Perez.
Bobby knows this.
Annette knows this.


While it is true he did not mention names in his post.
It irks me that you know who he is talking and yet you complain.


While I try to be fair.
Everyone here knows that they can call me out. Just do not lie about me. So I am so sorry that I am not fair to your bobby.
Those are my true colors.
 
I can't believe this is still going on

I think the guy got a full refund, since the shipper couldn't ship for personal reasons. I know Ty and Bobby. I have perchased from both. Never had a problem. To set the record straight, Tys Mom passed away, that takes priority. As for the gecko trade with the third party, I ended up buying both R. CF Leachianus that were sent back. I think they were worth the price asked. If the third party decided not to keep them or thought they weren't up to what he was expecting, well that's between them and not to be dragged through here to make a personal attack against Bobby. Jim, I think you better talk to the third party before you open that can of worms.

Mike,

while I agree 100% with you that the death of Ty's mother should take precedence, I am confused why the customer was told to talk to Ty at all. Ty did not place the ad on kingsnake. Ty did not make the deal. Ty did not postpone shipping dates. Ty did not take the money. Ty's name was not even mentioned until there was a problem.

Whether Bobby was delayed because of Ty's problems is irelevant if you ask me. Bobby should have never passed the buck to Ty in the first place. If Bobby did not have the animals in hand to ship, a shipping date should not have been set until he did. And, if I was Ty, I would be pretty darn peeved if I was dealing with the death of my mother and Bobby dumped one of his pissed off customers on me. After all, if Ty was too busy with these personal issues to get the geckos to Bobby, I would think that Bobby would respect Ty's situation enough to not allow him to be bothered with this guy. But no, Bobby shows his apparent lack of respect by sicking one of HIS pissed off customers on Ty. What kind of business relationship is that?

I wish I could get away with doing business that way. Hey, I'm gonna go buy a bunch of fresh import savanna monitors from Strictly Reptiles and sell them on kingsnake. I fill up my orders and Strictly has a problem shipping to me on time. Now, instead of dealing with my own customers, I am going to give them Strictly's number and tell them to call and complain. Sounds like a winner to me.

Never push an angry customer off on your supplier. It's bad business and will eventually lead to your suppliers not wanting to do business with you. Remember, it's not the supplier's fault YOU can't get your $#!+ together.
 
Hey Mike,
thanks for the insight on the geckos.

I do not get how bobby lee can come here and make threats.
He already got his refund. True it was not as fast as he would like. But it is definately faster than some.

While it may be true.....bobby may have been a jerk on the phone.

You gotta give bobby the benefit of the doubt when he says that it was bobby lee who was a jerk on the phone.

Look at bobby lee's post. he showed his true colors and basically tookbenefit of doubt away from him.


and Rob.......
Good points

I guess you didnt read this thread very well. They asked who the FT's were produced by and when I told them they went to Ty. Do a search and you get his website

So you now think I can tell the future? It happen AFTER they ordered...

Nice to see how you can judge a person on this.

 
Bobby,

I DID read the thread just fine. I don't remember anywhere that they contacted Ty before all the problems came up, but I'm also not going to pick and hunt through all 17 or whatever pages of this there are.

As far as the shipping, of course it happened after they ordered smart guy! How can you set up a shipping date with a customer if they HAVEN'T ordered yet? And besides, whether it happened before or after they ordered is irrelevant. You passed them off to Ty when they didn't want to deal with the delays. Again, no matter what or when something terrible happened in Ty's life, you, Bobby Pruett, made the deal with Bobby Lee. YOUR responsibility. Ty had absolutely nothing to do with it. Therefore, he should not have had to deal with YOUR pissed off customer.

And on the fact that I would be A-1 nuclear PISSED if my mother had just passed and I was getting calls from YOUR upset customers, that should be common sense. I mean, am I the ONLY one here that thinks it is pretty damn crass to pass off a pissed off customer on someone who is not only your supplier and has no hand in what deals you've made, but is also grieving over the loss of his mother?

The bottom line Bobby, is that you pushed an angry customer of YOURS off onto your supplier, who had no hand in the deal or business dealing with them. That is just plain bad business man. Ty had to arrange the refund with Bobby Lee because you didn't want to deal with it. Ty did the right thing, in my opinion, by originally telling Bobby Lee to deal with YOU. After all, it was YOUR ad and YOUR deal, not his. I find it odd that such an excellent business man cannot get this simple fact through his skull.
 
Bobby Pruett

I inquired today about a "orange" fattail for $100 on ks which turns out to be a regular fattail that has light brown instead of dark brown (both normal colors). I believe this is slight misrepresentation. Just thought I would add on to the list. E. L.
 
i saw that advertisement on kingsnake also that was definetly a normal african fat tail... i breed fatties and have orange phase fatties, normals and amelanistics.. that was nothing more than a normal.

Do you have anything else to post about? I really like the *i breed fatties and hes misrepresenting* Give me a break. Do you think your the only breeder of fattail?Heres how I described it to those who emailed The saddles are more of an orange then brown Ya, and its $100 shipped so that makes it a $65 fattail. You folks really need to get some type of life! It makes for good reading I guess... Heres a pic so you can really have your fun.

I just went to your website and I just wonder how you feel having MY breeding stock???? I see you list it as
Female Tang stripe Amel AFT Leo's Anonymous stock, LOL. This guy got all his Fattails from us!!!
 
Bobby Pruett and Ty Young.....Bad Guys

Bobby,

When are you going to stop all the lying? You are just making yourself look worse each time you make rediculous posts.

I just went to your website and I just wonder how you feel having MY breeding stock???? I see you list it as Female Tang stripe Amel AFT Leo's Anonymous stock, LOL. This guy got all his Fattails from us!!!

As I have already said many times... Some of my breeding stock was purchased from Ty, but NOTHING came from you, Bobby Pruett. I never dealt with you, and I have never communicated with you outside of this thread in any way. You do not have any right to use me as a reference, and I would never recommend either you or Ty to anyone.

So for anyone out there who thinks I'm a reference for Bobby or Ty... just understand that I give them two big thumbs down . I have never dealt with Bobby in any way, and the transactions I had with Ty went terribly as a whole.
 
Bobby Pruetts lying again...Surprise, Surprise!

I guess you didnt read this thread very well. They asked who the FT's were produced by and when I told them they went to Ty. Do a search and you get his website

Yes, I asked who produced the FT's to get the bloodline, but I never went to Ty on my own. The only time I went to him was when you said that I had to go to him to get a refund!

Get it straight Bobby!!!! :angry:
 
Maybe I'm just nuts but aren't fat tails supposed to have...

Fat... tails?

Kinda skinny looking there Bobby... misrepresentation of color aside, how can you feel comfortable selling the species in that condition. It's not emaciated-starving, but it's about what I'd expect to see at my local "Fat tails eat crickets?! Whoa, we were giving them alfalfa pellets!" big box chain store.
 
Actually, I do have better things to do with my time, like sell quality CB herps and maintain a good name! My point was an "orange" fat tail sounds to me like it would be anything other than a normal. After getting into amels, "ORANGE FAT TAIL" sounds like something I'd want to see, regardless of price!!! The last thing I expected to see was a normal!
 
I dig buy an amelanistic stripe fat tail from Ross. NOt from you. I still have her and she is a gorgious tang color.
I"ve posted her photo on the BOI when I did a good guy post about Ross and leo's annonymous.
Here is my banner for my web site with a TRUE orange phose fat tail gecko.

Ty Young and Bobby Pruett.... Bad Guys

Bobby is just trying to get under your skin Veronica.

He doesn't seem to understand that just because our geckos have similair gene pools it doesn't make them the same geckos. Bobby resells fat tails for his partner Ty and takes a percentage of the sale... I breed my own.

A lot more than having similair genetics goes into producing and selling quality geckos. They actually need to be well taken care of.

And a lot more goes into a sale than Bobby realizes... I don't treat my customers like cr*p and scream profanities at them.

A seller actually needs to take good care of their customers. When someone buys any herp from me they turn into my boss. It's my job to make them happy and that's what I do.

Also, Bobby doesn't seem to understand that only SOME of my stock originally came from Ty.

Another thing that strikes me as odd about Bobby is that he wants HANDGUNS for trades. It just seems a bit odd to me that someone will accept a handgun in exchange for a fat tail...

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with gun ownership... but it seems strange to entertain the thought of trading geckos for handguns.

And after we have all seen Bobby's self proclaimed "hot headed" temper, it would worry me to run into this guy at a show.
