Does anyones extreme have a black nose?

[turtlepunk]

Hey. Something was brought to my attention earlier about my extreme I received from Bobby this year.
My extreme has always had a black nose and I've always wondered about it myself because I see a lot of extreme pictures with a lot of white on their faces. well, mine doesn't. I posted recent pics of Spartacus under his thread. I was told he doesn't have the same head or pattern as an extreme!! This kinda scares me because I paid for an extreme.
what do you guys think?

Blk nose

I was reading that normal black and whites have longer noses. Im not sure if red tegu noses compare to B&Ws but I know my red has a longer snout than Spartacus.

got that backwards....so....extremes have longer noses...normals have shorter noses.....from the looks of it, after reviewing this:

Does not look like an extreme .

Yeah looks like a black nose. I wouldnt be suprised if bobby didnt send you the right one. I had to wait for ever to get mine and it was a hassle. Anyways I would send him the photos and ask for an explantation. heres my 2011. How old is yours?

Here is my black nose nero at about th same size

 

[turtlepunk]

yup looks like mine is a blacknose. He looks just like Nero. Spartacus is 4 months old, received him this year. kind of weird that i received a B&W. I thought extremes were the first to hatch =/ ???

Maybe the eggs got mixed up and you aren't the only one with a B&W that ordered an extreme.

I was wondering the same thing

Are you serious? How did that happen? I really don't think professional breeders "mix up" eggs. I'm not saying you're wrong--I'm saying something seems to be really wrong lately...and, unfortunately, people seem afraid to talk about it.

I agree that something is going on with Varnyard, there are plenty if posts here to prove that. Problem is Bobby doesn't come on often and when he does he doesn't answer questions, he deletes posts and threads.

Agreed. Ya know, I understand that his business is HIS business, but his business is successful, in part, to the word-of-mouth advertising that a lot of us have done by touting how both good he was to do business with and the quality of his animals. I liked doing business with Bobby, truly. But, unlike before when I recommended him to ANYBODY who was in the market for a tegu, I'm unable to do so without some explanation as to what's been going on--I'm not willing to risk my own reputation, ya know? I mean no disrespect, but I think I'm being fair and saying what a lot of other people are afraid to say because they fear being kicked off of the forum. I hope this all gets worked out and that everything can be cleared up.

 

[james.w]

I agree, I no longer recommend him due to what I have seen/heard on this forum.

 

[turtlepunk]

yeah i even had a guy personal message me on my youtube account a while back warning me about Bobby, explaining to me the problems he had to go through! sheesh.
Bobby seemed like such a reputable guy back when i was researching his site and this forum. I wonder what the hell is going on. Called him this morning, no answer, emailed him, no reply.

 

[TeguBuzz]

I'm all about expressing my mind and all that, but I find no reason to on this forum because every time a word about him goes out that's not positive, the thread gets closed. As for contacting him about Spartacus, good luck, I emailed him last month asking what had happened to the reds, and he still hasn't answered. He's almost impossible to reach.

 

[james.w]

As a moderator, as long as your opinion doesn't break any of the forum rules, I will do my best to make sure the thread doesn't get closed.

Ok guys just to clear things up a bit, im n ot 100% sure how true it is but i have heard that he had hired help the past years and this season he had to let them go and do everything himself, that would explain the problems we having been hearing about over at varnyard, but like i said i cant say whether its true or not, as some of you know he gave me my 2 current tegus when my house burned down and i lost 4 tegus and he quickly took care of me when my 1st red tegu arrived doa, i dont think someone like that would try and scam anyone, im sure he will get it together

 

[slideaboot]

Thanks, Reptastic...but, that's all hearsay. There's plenty of rumors going around...this is just another one. Without conclusive statements from those involved, no one truly knows what's going on. At this point, we only have the stories of several disappointed members (and ex-members).

 

[reptastic]

Yea i know, hopfully he will come and clear things up, i wanted to get a few tegus next season so i would hope this is resolved by the

We can only hope for the best . We are not in his shoes and do not know his end of it and can only wait things out and see how he responds to the situation now that it has been brought to his attention. I am getting an AA from him in 2012 and hope everything runs smoothly. I had received from him in the past but my ex took my two BW with him when we split (I miss them) but he was fantastic then and I have so far, had no problems with him when discussing getting this AA. I always try to see the positive in everyone and know people can make mistakes so I hope he helps straighten this situation out for you .
