Anyone know what happen to thetegu.com??

[PuffDragon]

Just curious....be a shame to let all the info go to waste.

I notice the domain expired , but was renewed. I am not sure if he did or someone else purchased it.

I agree, both that forum and this one contains a ton of information that is helpful to all Tegus and other herp keepers.

I believe Txrepgirl had a feeling it was going to happen. I just sent her a message through youtube.

Bobby said he heard the site was up for sale. He heard Rick lost all of his Tegu's during hibernation last year. No Tegu's = no hatchlings to sell this year (if he did every breed them).

I emailed txrepgirl.

Hhhmmm, wasn't he advertising earlier in the year that he will have Tegus for sale? I wrote him asking him about putting money down for one and he told me he had pre-sold many of the eggs. I was going to buy one from him, and before I did, I noticed Bobby's Varn-Yard site. I decided to go to Bobby and I am extremely pleased with that decision.

Bobby's tegus are top of the line, good choice. I got my Argentine black and white from him in july and I just got a extreme giant from him, and plan to get many more over the years.

I just posted a on thetegu.com and it was working fine.

 

[DaveDragon]

Yep, it's back up.

 

[RehabRalphy]

dang, jk, not really

 

[Kharnifex]

man, how do you loose ALL of your tegus to hibrenation? i would be crushed to death if i lost my tegu i couldn't even begin to comprehend loosing a bunch as a breeder.

ohh well. i don't think anyone who frequents both forums would by from rick anyway. i can talk to bobby at any time. here or on the phone. i've gotten advice and opinions (Not to mention GREAT stories) from him even before i bought joker. i visit thetegu.com everyday, and i've still never even met rick.

i have the same thing
i've never been able to talk to rick but bobby was awesome with helping me out. i asked him a couple questions and he replied relatively quick for a busy guy.
i still go to thetegu and just got a tegu from a user who couldn't take care of her anymore. i still want to learn more from bobby (since he's the only one who actually will help you out) and desperately want a red tegu from him. they are just amazing in color!

you forgot the best part hun! you want to name our future red tegu Charmander! ^_^ lol

Bobby is the reason I have Blue Tegu hatchlings, he told me how to build the incubator and how to care for the eggs. It's best to call him, he doesn't always answer emails.

Many people think Rick has never produced a Tegu and bought them for resale.

I go to thetegu.com to help out.

I'll get one of Bobby's Reds some day.

That's a bummer about the site...I've always had fond memories of it.


Anyway, I like that site because it's the place that helped me learn about tegus when I first got mine...a little Colombian. Everyone was so helpful...Rick, Bobby, Kris (Worley), Josh. I won my little Kreacher through the contest over there...good times. It's not quite the same, but I know some folks, and I like the familiarity. I'm a creature of habit and it's so hard to go to new places!

I feel like I want to start storing files of info from that site, but there's a lot of good stuff here, too.

i remember the end of the lizard king saga. thats about it

There are programs you can use to capture the whole site to make it available off line. It might be time to do that.

Can you link to any??

 

[jor71]

If someone there has full admin access to it, they can actually back up all of the fourms and post. If the site goes down, they can create their own website and import the database to the new site.

I use Teleport Pro. http://www.tenmax.com/teleport/pro/home.htm There are many webcrawler/spider programs.

I'm working on snagging theTegu.com now.

I'm trying out a free one right now. We'll see how it works.
