Default Desperate Tegu!!

Hi i didn't know where to put this but i had to make people aware. I put an ad in rehoming section yesterday for a poor tegu that was being kept in a rabbit hutch, the person who owned it is a member of rfuk.

SJ4KIKI.

They have also got an ad on preloved to rehome unwanted rep's. People need to be aware.
http://www.preloved.co.uk/fuseaction.../fbcbfc65.html

Some genuine people come forward to those ad's and this person could be putting alot of poor animal's at risk.
Just had to say something!!

Hey, the lad funds all the free reptiles himself, he needs a pat on the back.


Pat Butcher would be a good start.

Ok. I know neither you or the person you are making allegations about so time for a serious question. What evidence do you have to back up your statement?

Contact the lad and ask him, might be a good place to find out what's happening.

If the OP has evidence to back the allegations he is making publically then he should make the evidence public too.

I don't have any evidence i can put on here as it was all said through text messages.
If you were to ask this person they would tell you themselves.
Contact info on thier profile.
It's terrible that they can keep animal's in those condition's and then ask people to give them more!

If it is true and the temps, humidity, etc aren't being taken care of then yes I agree that it's terrible. I've sent a pm so we'll soon see. Not having a pop at you but anyone can text anything. I could text someone saying that I keep an adult alligator snapping turtle in a tin bath in the corner of my baby son's bedroom. Doesn't make it true. Are you sure that they're not winding you up?

The OP posted the thread hoping someone would help out.

On looking at the Tegu owners posts and ad on preloved he seems like the usual freebie hunter without a clue.

If you're so concerned then contact him through the Preloved link the OP posted in the first post.
