Hey guys, I'm new here and this is my first ever post, so I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong forum or anything like that. I didn't exactly know where to put it, and this was the most fitting thread to my current situation. Please move it to where it belongs if this is incorrect. Anyway, on to my situation.
First of all, I'd like to say again that I'm not sure if this is exactly the right forum. It's not so much a complaint on Varnyard at all, but more of just a question/concern. Anywho, a couple months back I contacted Bobby down at Varnyard Herps about one of his Argentine B&Ws. He was out of stock for the season, but told me that he did have a few All-Americans that hadn't been claimed yet. I thought about it for a bit and decided to go for it. Despite the price, I've heard EXCELLENT things about Bobby's animals and was not concerned in the least. I paid the initial deposit immediately, and a month or so later he billed me for the second half. I assumed this meant that the eggs had hatched, and I emailed him to clarify. He responded, saying that they had hatched and would be ready to ship around August 22. I paid the rest of my balance, and I received an email from him confirming that he received my payments. That was about 3 weeks ago, and I have not heard from him since. I've called him twice, left messages, and emailed him once, yet neither have elicited a response.
I've heard great things from many people about Bobby and what an excellent breeder he is to deal with, so I'm not worried about being scammed or anything of that nature. I'm just slightly concerned about the lack of communication (and I honestly can't wait to get my hands on my little girl ). Has anybody else out there heard from Varnyard or received their animals in the last few days/weeks? As I've mentioned, I'm not upset or filing a 'complaint' or anything of that nature. I would just like some information. Thank you all in advance for the help, and hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures up very shortly =)
