    Extreme Giant and All American

    Well we got the call about 2pm from the post office yesterday afternoon and I'm happy to say we have received our Varnyard hatchlings. Bobby called me Monday and gave me the tracking number. Our two little ones( nameless at the moment) arrived healthy, alert, and unharmed. We videotaped the...

    varnyard shippment this week

    Agreed! I've never had trouble getting in touch with him. I spoke to him this afternoon because he called me with the tracking number instead of emailing it. He said he had just shipped out like 70 hatchlings. As for the reds, from what he told me he didn't get as many as he expected and his...

    Underground has some RedxBlue albinos

    Correct which is essentially what I meant by avoiding sun exposure and not playing outside. You bring up soda consumption. This too is a huge problem because for our bodies to eliminate the excess phosphoric acid it must be neutralized first, which ends up leaching calcium from our bodies.

    Underground reptile's Purple tiger Tegus.

    That is an awesome looking specimen. Would love to get one of those if they come available.

    Underground has some RedxBlue albinos

    Correct, Albinism is a lack of pigment and can happen in any animal. This does allow the red of blood vessels to show through and removes the animal 'nature' protection from the sun. Blindness and skin cancer are very real for albinos and alot of that is due to the damage from the sun because of...

    Varnyard 2012 Reds

    You state the point in your response, you have never dealt with him. As for those that do, poor customer service...in some eyes..is what your going to get. You know this, so don't complain when it happens.

    Clamp lamps on top of plywood piece, fire hazard?

    Please do make sure that the lights do not come in contact with the wood or that they cannot get dislodged and put that hot light in contact with the bedding. Accidents can and do happen and can have very tragic circumstances. We have experienced this. Not worth the potential loss, please make...

    I just spoke with bobby yesterday. We have an extreme giant and an all american coming. He is shipping to me on the 13th of August so the 14th will be our big day. We originally were going to get a giant and a high contrast red but switched to an all american instead.

    Varnyard 2012 Reds

    I'm waiting for a high contrast red as well. I spoke to Bobby after the extreme giants hatched as we are getting one of each. The reds hatch much later than the extreme giants, July-August. Be patient, he is a very busy guy. Your new baby will be worth the wait. As was previously said, you can...

    Roll call. Who is expecting a extreme today?

    I'm expecting an extreme as well, but since we are getting a high contrast red also we won't see them till the reds hatch. Then both will be shipped at the same time. This is the first time I've worked with Varnyard but I've no complaints. Boddy is very busy as he deals with upwards of 700-800...

    how to pick up angry savy

    Use gloves and get him/her out the enclosure. Yes you will need to be careful but also firm and support him/her properly. Put your monitor into the bathtub for a good soak while cleaning the cage. You will probaly need to try and spend more time in his/her presence to build more trust and...
