So, you DIDN'T take it to a vet as you had claimed.

No, you did not.

It is when your ad states its healthy and "its not a veiled", when it is obvious not a healthy specimen and is a veiled Cham.


While I applaud you for your rescue efforts, you may need to familiarize yourself with signs of mbd and avoid spending money on animals with it.

Omg I took it too a vet and my ad said I didn't know what kind of Cham it was I took it to the vet she told me it was a helmeted chameleon I'm not posting names or paper work I really don't have time for this I took the add down I apologised I admitted what I did was wrong while unintentional it was not right please just let this go. I have so much going on to sit here and argue back and forth with you. You proved your point you are right I am wrong.

The way you handle yourself when you have been called out on your error(s) in an ad, does not give one confidence that you would handle an issue after an animal arrives sick/dead well.

There is no proof you took it to the vet. There is no proof that you are not simply flipping rescues. If you choose not to post proof, that is up to you, but this thread will stay here so that future prospective buyers can see how you handle adversity. Saying the other person is right and telling them to have a blessed day doesn't stop other readers from wondering if you simply lie about the health and identification of all your stock.
I flat out don't believe that the vet said it wa a helmeted and that the vet said this miserable creature was in the best of health. I think you are lying.

Keven, Yes you were wrong to post up the veiled in the condition that he was in. I guess you were trying to drop it on a newbie or someone else that knew nothing about chams.then when called out you come here with a bad attitude and decide you wont post any proof that was asked of you, then expect us to take your word on it. well you have already proven that your words are lies.yes you were wrong... very wrong!

First off im not throwing the vet tech under the bus I called and talked to the vet tech. Me not knowing enough about my product was wrong and I admit that but this bullying is wrong also. I will not post up any info on the vet I went to the guy who bought the veil went to or the guy who purchased the veils name. I don't care how long this stays up there I refuse to handle the situation like that. It was just a vet tech trying to be helpful not knowing much about chameleons and I'm not going to put her on blast. The gentleman that bought the veil is very happy with him. Besides my sales speak for themselves I go above and beyond for my customers and devote all day every day to caring for my rescues. I mean it wouldn't matter what I say at this point if I said I didn't go to a vet you will still keep this up. I admitted where I was wrong.This whole action your taking is fine you made me realize that the way I advertised the veil was not accurate. I've never sold a veil before not that that is an excuse but the vet tech did give him a clean bill of health. If you've been in this a while you know that most vets don't know much about reptiles. The whole thing is the vet tech did this stuff on the side for me and no matter what I present you with will not be good enough. I honestly believed it was a helmeted chameleon cause thats what i was told So at this point you have probably crushed my ability to sell anything on here and having so many rescues that no one wants I will have to start uthenizing them cause without the money from the sale of animals I cannot care for them and no one wants them! Everyone makes mistakes or messes up I'm sure you have at one time or another also. I took the ad down i admitted where i was wrong and i appologize to whoever it was i went off on in the beginning of this. I thought the animal was a helmeted chameleon and since it eats drinks and acts normal I assumed that meant it's healthy. I understand now that it has past issues that would make it not healthy. Anyway I don't know of anything else I can do. The girl does not want her name brought up the guy that bought the veil does not want his name brought up and I'm not about to just make up some document to appease you. If you like I can send you pics of All the reptiles this is affecting. Also if this was a pattern don't you think someone else would have come and posted something else negative about me. So im asking you to please take this down if you want follow my ads if it happens again put me on blast and I will leave fauna. This is,affecting more then just me there are a lot of rescues that depend on me. If you know a bunch of people that want to take them then leave the add up.

You are trying to guilt people because they pointed out your false advertising. You still don't get that YOU were at fault for advertising such a miserable creature and insisting that it was in great health and was not a veiled.
If you have took in so many critters that you have to make sales to provide for them, you have seriously overextended yourself and YOU have let your critters down.

However, with no proof, I still say that you never went to a vet and a lot of what you are saying is just a bunch of baloney. I do not think any vet would characterize that critter as one 'in the best of health'. And so I think you are just a rescue flipper who got caught.

Keven you posted that you took the veiled to the vet.

Now you post that you called a vet tech for answers.so that means you lied to us again about taking the veiled to a vet.

I don't like you calling that veiled your product! it shows exactly how you think about the herps you warehouse.

You mention rescues, you selling rescues is wrong,totally and completely wrong.

You proved your point you are right I am wrong.

You did not take it to a vet, you called a vet tech.

1. A vet tech is not a vet.
2. Product - it's a live animal, not a product.
3. If you believe this is bullying, you have a very skewed definition of the word. Questioning you and asking for proof of your claims is not bullying.

Vet tech does not mean vet.

Holy crap, now you want to throw out a pity card? Basing the ability to care for rescues off the sale of animals is not how it works. If you cannot afford to care for that many animals, you should stop acquiring them. Making the statement about euthanasia was designed to pull on the heartstrings of others. If any of the other animals in your care look like the chameleon or worse, euthanizing may be best.
