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.

If one person can make an incorrect judgment, two (or three if you count the vet) cannot? And that warrants berating the recipient of another person's error? While a buyer has a responsibility to understand what he/she is doing, the onus is on the seller to accurately label the animal in the first place and regardless of what the buyer knows or does not know. The buyer's responsibility for gaining/having the acumen to be able to verify a label is secondary to the seller's label in a business deal. I think the OP needs to get a handle on sexing so as to be more complete as a keeper and breeder, but I think someone newer to the ins and outs of the entire process will be better served by learning via guidance over admonishment.

I agree.
And even though the onus is on the seller, everyone makes mistakes. Here, I think the real problem is not that the seller made a mistake in sexing, it is his poor communication and refusal to address the issue.
And to me, that is a more serious problem than a sexing error, because it means that future buyers from this seller may have the same issue, that any problems or errors in the sale will not be addressed.
A mis-sexing does not make a Bad Guy. An ignored customer when there are genuine issues does.

I guess you also missed the part where the vet sexed this as a male to..... Everyone has an opinion and that's fine I know what they say about opinions and all that...
It is funny how folks post calling names when last I checked this was an adult conversation... I made this post to make others aware of a person selling misleading animals on this board... Originally I thought the problem was one thing when it was really another but at the end of the day the issue is still what it is and he still has not responded... But you make the issue whatever you want if that makes you feel good lol

I do agree with you here except on the part of the sexing mistake. She needs to educate herself a little better before jumping into breeding.

And the seller if he made an error, should be communicating with you.
As your experience grows you will be better able to assessments yourself, confirming what others have said, keeping in mind that everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Becoming an excellent reptile keeper is a process, and even for the most experienced there are always new things to learn.
It is important to research ahead of time especially for husbandry basics: feeding, temps, environment and so on. But time and research will bring more information and expertise.

Thank you Lucille. I joined this board to also learn more and talk to others with the same love for the reptiles. My animals are my family first and foremost. I didn't decide to breed for an income. I own my own real estate company my dragons give me a sense of peace so this was just a hobby i am exploring. I may find breeding them isn't for me at all and they will still be my loved pets....

I agree, mis-sexing can happen. I have done it before, I sent a short tail male hognose, as a female. It was very young but it happened, I owned up to it and made it right. It's not making the mistake that defines who we are, it's how we own the mistake that was made.
To most people a female that size is worth double what a male would be. This mistake, is it a blessing or a curse? You can make of the situation what you want to and I'm glad you have shared your dealings with Brandon. Hopefully it will all work out better for you in the end, being a female.
