Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

My hand
Laura, It;s my hand with the baby dragon a day or two after they arrived. If you are speaking of the one with several dragons on a hand that is the sellers photos.

Those dragons are way too tiny to have been sold/shipped.
The photos of the baby dragons on the hand posted previously ... is that the seller's photo or the buye'rs/OP's photo?

Thanks Jessica. Yes, I was asking specifically about the photo(s) with the multiple dragons on the hand with the red arrows. So that is the seller's photo.
I do know the photo of the dead baby with the yellow belly spot is yours - whether egg sack (does seem a bit high) or smeared urates (seems a bit too concentrated & "clean" to be a smear), I can't say.
That established, if you saw that seller's photo, and you saw how tiny those dragons were, then why would you even entertain the idea of buying them?

Because, I was told by the seller that they were 6"...maybe all put together they were. Also, I was told as the e-mail above states that the sellers "camera was not working" (opinion) maybe it was, and she just didn't want me to see the "real" baby beardeds she was trying to sell. Because, Note: The dragons on her hands, are a hell of a lot bigger than mine!Mine don't even cover a finger, forget about covering a hand. Yet again, the spot is internal! It is NOT and was not ever external. I thought it was smeared too, but I put them in a bath and touched the spot, not smeared anything. As for egg sac, thats possible as it was directly on the belly slit even though it looks "high".

How were they shipped to you? Was it a next day air service, 2nd day air, or regular ground service?
In your first post it seems they were supposed to be shipped on the 19th for delivery on the 21st?

The dragon in the picture doesn't even look like the sellers photo in my opinion. Not even close. I could see it being smaller due to dehydration from shipping or something but that's too big a difference, at least from what I can see based on the photos. Based on what I've seen I'd have to side with the buyer.
Has dragons and tails been made aware of this post? I'd like to read their defense..

To me, it looks like the pictures the seller sent were photoshopped.
Just saying.

My first thought on seeing those pics was that they were taken under a black-light to make the colors pop out unnaturally. Might be photoshopping...either way, they strike me as suspicious.

Very true. The colors do look like they are under a black light. They definitely do look a lot different in those pictures than in the ones that the OP posted. That's for sure.
