Undergrounds Tegu Talk

[Bubblz Calhoun]

I watched half of this when they first posted it, then forgot about it until now.

He has a point; the amount of arguments and childish confrontations regarding what's right/wrong etc etc is a little deterring.

I enjoy their little weekly shows, they're pretty entertaining... minus the God loving parts, but whatever haha.

 

[Roadkill]

Too bad his original source of information is highly erroneous.

 

[james.w]

Sounds like a lot of marketing mumbo jumbo. I only watched the first 10 minutes or so, but that's what I got from it. To claim to have pure "white heads" from wild caught Miami tegus is a bit tough to swallow. Oh well, I don't expect anything different from Underground.

 

[laurarfl]

I do it for the love of tegus and not to make a profit. The money from my tegus goes to support the educational business that I have. I think the motive behind breeding makes a difference. Is someone breeding for money, reputation, passion, etc? I do think Underground makes a lot of statements and videos for marketing purposes. I'm not saying that Underground is "bad" or "wrong", just a different approach.

 

[Bubblz Calhoun]

Eh,.. definitely a different approach but with so many contradictions it makes me wonder if he's serious? I know some people don't always think before they speak, but does he listen to his self or actually watch the videos before posting? It's one thing to speak on true and factual information at least you have something to back it up. But the opposite is tricky, especially when people continue to talk and it becomes evident that they might not know as much as they think they do.

People make videos like these then get upset when someone doesn't agree with what they have to say or how they do something. Which there will always be someone who doesn't agree. Right or wrong doesn't matter, there are different ways to do things. Whether it's for exposure, marketing, on tv a forum or what ever. Then someones automatically a hater (for what they said) or that persons being attacked

. Why not just take that info or comment for what it is and check to make sure you have your info straight, especially when making it public. Not everyone or everything said is meant to be offensive or should be taken that way.

This video is more on the lines of some random person sneaking into a zoo afterhours and talking hearsay about the animals they see there, rather then someone who actually is supposed to be knowledgable about these reptiles. On the other hand the animals look healthy and the husbandry appears well set up.
It seems like he handles the business part, and someone else does the reptile keeping. It may be a "Mili Vanili" type situation.

Never bought fron him but i like his vids. And his god approach. Cant knock a person for thier personal beliefs... Was gonna buy a caimen lizard last week from them and they were kind on thphine.

Amen.

 

[TeguBuzz]

I enjoy his vids but I disagree with some of the things he says. I'm not much of a "believer" in God but it doesn't bother me when he talks about God and all when he goes on about it. His setups are great and all the animals look like they're in good health, so no complaints.

This is exactly what it seems is going on, I'm kind of surprised you can't hear someone in the background yelling for him to get off their property.

Cant knock a person for thier personal beliefs...

I thought that was the first rule of being an American?


Hah, but to point, I like how he made a personal jab / callout to tegutalk in the vid.

Hahaha he did call out thus site though.... That was pretty funny.... The more publicity the better right???lol...

 

[laurarfl]

lol james. I haven't watched all of the video. 20 min is beyond my attention span. I'll have to try and find the time.

 

[jondancer]

Iv watched alot of he videos , he seems cool to me, 100% American guy

 

[SomethingTegu]

It's an interesting, good video. I don't understand the negativity people have for it. Guess people just have to have something to be negative about.

 

[laurarfl]

I think it goes beyond this one video.

 

[james.w]

The reason people are negative is the guy is claiming to have things he has no proof of. How can you say you have a pure white head that was wild caught in Miami? He is always claiming to have new morphs, but I've never seen more than one clutch or even more than one animal of these "morphs". To claim something is a new morph it needs to be proved out, boa and python guys do it all the time. Underground doesn't do it because they aren't creating anything new. Do a bit of research about tegus and morphs and maybe you will understand the dislike for these guys.

 

[Bubblz Calhoun]

Pic a video any video and the more you know about the topic of that video, you're able to understand and see what's, right, wrong, good info, common practices used, questionable, what's not or what ever.

When putting out info to the public people have (should have) a responsibility to make sure it's as true and or accurate to the best of their knowledge and then some. That ties into blindly accepting information from any source without questioning or verifying it, which a lot of people do.

In general if more people did (accepted more responsibility) then we wouldn't have so many issues in the first place.

It has nothing to do with just having something to be negative about.
