bob clarks reputation- good or bad?

hi guys. i want to know how bobs rep is in the us.

i live in germany and here he has a bad reputation. in forums a lot of ppl say they bought snakes from him, that were ether sick or even died.

they say his own animals are ok, but he sells snakes from other "breeders" that he bought and sell very cheap.

these animals should not be so good...

now i wanna know how his rep is in the us.

are that just ppl they trying to ruin his rep, or is there some truth in that...

thanks

You answered your own question :confused:.Are you looking to purchase from him or ???

That's pretty much his rep in the UK too, but there's only one person I know of who ever had any problems with a snake from him, and they don't blame him...Many people off rfuk get royals off him with no problems...I got my stunning fire off him - no problems at all:D

I beleive is rep in the US to be very good.

yes im think about it- but how have i answered it myself? i dont get it...


is both true? his animals are ok but the others arent- or how should i get it?



so till now we have a good rep in the us and a bad rep in germany and the uk...

interressting...


edit: i know 2 guys who bought from him in the 90s and they were very happy with the snakes. but his rep is bad since he buy and sell other peoples snakes.

its always hard to tell, just from reading in forums. there could be a anomymous breeder who wants to sell his snakes and ruin a other guys rep... u know what i mean...


but since ppl in the uk have the same problem, i guess theres some truth in it...

Have you tried searching through fauna? They have a really good feedback section.

i bought a pair of het pieds from him in 2008 in Houten, have had no problems so far.
i would buy from him again.

i have a look on a platinum burmese python. if he breed them himself ill probably buy it- if he bought it from someone else, ill probably not buy it...

thanks for ur answers guys:gj:

I think European breeders are trying to ruin Bob's reputation so they can sell more of there own animals!!

I've bought a lot off balls from Bob last year and they are all very good feeders and in excelent health!!

Bob has a great costumer service as well!!

I think he's a great guy and a lot of people here are jalous of his succes.

I would buy from him anytime:)

This is exactly what's going on over there. Next time you buy from him make sure you ask for your Big Gunns discount. Tell him Mikey Wildabanks gives you 45% off and Bob better match it.:D

I've never heard a bad word against bob until now.

Everything I've read about him in the US has been spotless.

I live about an hour away from him, got my very first snake from him when i was 13 (23 now). It was an awesome animal super healthy with a big appetite, my cousin also bought a snake from him, it didnt eat as well as mine so we called him up and he invited us to go to his shop where he force fed it for no cost( it ended up eating fine the next week and growing into a great animal) he also let us look all around his shop, see fluffy and hold some baby genetic stripe balls (this is 10 years ago when they were still over 20K!). It was one of the best days of my life, a young herper getting to see some amazing animals...so as you can imagine i think hes a pretty good guy.
