Just got around to putting this up but If i coulda saved the beardies he sent me i prob woulda gotten over his lil act of animal cruelty... The middle of September I decided I'd like to purchase a pair of beardies. I come across Dan's ad and he's got a pair of beardies
"the male is a redflame citrus and the mom is a yellow sandfire" ~Dan
We discuss price and he said "I would need 230 at min to ship them shippin will be bout 40 so thats less the n100 a drago nfor me and for a proven pair its unheard of you will make thousands with the babies let me know if ya can get an extra 50 somewhere" ~Dan
I told him not to sell them off cauz i'd get it.
I got around to asking him all the normal questions, hows the temperments, any tail nips or nails missing just about their general health.
He said they were absolutely perfect, nothing wrong with them and here was my mistake... I believed him...
So i get him the money and what not and he sends them out. the next day i was excited to see the mail man coming to my door but my excitement was short lived when i saw a lil package that i never thought two bearded dragons could fit into. So i gave it to my friend thinking it was hers. She hands it back and tells me its got MY name on it and the only thing that came to my mind was oh hell no...... This package was NO LIE 7inX6inX2in tall and i open it and this CLOUD of rotten flesh smell hit me like a brick wall! I look and almost cried at what this man had put these creatures thru. I thought they were dead.
Dan had put half a pair of pants in there with the lizards just a chillin in the box as i stare at them. there was NOTHING else in the box at ALL. Just the two lizards, the pair of pants, and some kinda bird seed?? those lizards were poopin those seeds for months.. so I get them out and look. The female has this BLACK leg. NO not part of her coloring, her scales and skin was falling off... I took her to the vet and he said she had been like this for MONTHS and it was something like mites. One of her toes were also broken in half and about to fall off so he had to take that off.. they were both also impacted from the seeds.. so we put them on wormers, and something to get rid of the mites for her... that was back in September. She died yesterday due to Dans Neglect and lack of care... I messaged him a while back when i first got them demanding a refund and telling him how awful these were packaged and shipped and how he should be ASHAMED! and what was his response?!?!
"They were shipped fine. And his leg is not rotten vet said it is just a coloration he has bene like that for a while" ~Dan
OMG i wanted to hunt this guy down and shove that poor female's rotten leg in his face and make him SMELL the oozing puss and infection coming out of her leg!!!
The bottom line for this story is don't ever trust ANYONE... get picks, ask questions, I sure will.... Oh and DON'T BUY FROM DAN DUCKWORTH!!!
:angr y:
At least she's not suffering anymore... ='[
I'll add the links to the box and the beardies when i get to my other computer...
