Not to long ago ( a week or two?) Jabari bought a Leatherback from me (bearded dragon) and from the start he has been trying to re-sell it you may have seen the ad
http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...d.php?t=252333
Not that I had a problem with him trying to re-sell the dragon, he wouldn't be the first to try and re-sell a animal purchased from me. BUT to start, he had a friend try and sell it. After he had no luck, he tried to sell this dragon. Both used my pics to do so...
Jabari housed this 6 inch baby beardie in a 65 Gal. screen net cage. (the cage was entirely made out of netting) Those who dont know. Netting cages is NOT a sufficient habitat for a baby beardie. And a 65 gal cage, for a 6 inch dragon is WAY to large.
The Actual problem kicked in before I knew there was a problem. On friday June 18th this dragon had stopped eating.
( I will post the e-mail below)
On june 20th Jabari had changed this ad to Trade. He was no longer trying to sell it for 150 plus shipping, but wants to trade this dragon for a adult dragon. But from friday until monday,
(time of ad change.. for sale for 150 to trade for adult beardie) he had a dragon that was not eating or thriving right.
Yesterday on june 21st I get a e-mail
(the one im going to post) Stating the dragon isnt eating its doing bad. It stopped eating on friday june 18th. (all the while, he is trying to sell it).
Well today it died.
... So if you see this ad, OVER LOOK IT! this dragon is dead. Do NOT let him tell you differently!

I will more and likely replace this dragon for him, and walk away.
I just wanted others to be aware of what he was doing. If the dragon wasnt thriving right he shouldn't have the dragon up for sale, then try and trade it when it was on its last limb.
The question on my mind is, what IF he sold this animal for 150 and it died on his buyer. What then would the outcome be?
