Hi, does anyone know anything about Rockabirdie Reptiles? I have seen 2 posts one good, one not so good, that is only 50%, need more info to make decision on purchase. Thanks.

There's a pretty recent Bad Guy review on the Fauna BOI. I haven't done business with this person in particular but I'd stay away if the stuff on this page is true: WARNING: some sad photos of malnourished reptiles

Thanks Josh, I did see that. I also saw the good guy post from Feb. 2013. I know things can go wrong when dealing with reptiles, that is why I was hoping to get a broader view of of Rockabirdie's track record.

Absolutely horrible business. Sold me a yellow uro at the LA show as captive bred. It rapidly declined to death within a few weeks (my female was under my care 5 years before rehoming after this). Look on his site and they were listed as WC. Talked to local breeders sharing my experience and was met with more horror stories. One from a really good breeder who shared the same experience with a African house snake. 90% or more of their stock is WC and i don't believe he treats or quarantines any animals. He's directly contributing to the downfall of of wild populations in many beautiful species and its really sad. He's made friends with the facebook admins so people that share bad experiences don't get posted and i was removed for commenting on his posts of wild caught animals. Super shady character.
