Reptasia UK Avoid

Got a "male" panther chameleon from Reptasia back in June, to which i thought it was a female, the original breeder even commented on a Facebook picture saying it looks female and was even told on her that it looks female.

So i went back and was told i could swap it for peace of mind although he said he couldn't sex the second one because it was too young, but i swapped anyway as the first one has tail rot as well which he told me to put "sudocream" on.

As the second one grew up i then realised that she was also another female which i decided to keep and basically asked for the difference in price of the female and male (£30) so i then paid for a female and got a female, then everyone is happy.

They failed to give me the difference despite saying they will refund it back in June, today my partner inboxed their business page on Facebook and then are now saying that me and my partner needs to pay for the upkeep of the chameleon that we gave back as they had to keep it for 30 days and they had to provide food and electricity for it and they are now saying it cost them £15 on food a week for a juvenile panther.

And now it has resulted in them threatening me to go to a small claims court if i don't pay for the upkeep?

am i in the wrong or not?

If you exchanged the first chameleon for a different one, no you are not responsible for the first ones upkeep.

I don't think you are responsible for the upkeep; you switched for a different Cham. That just seems like a weird request from them.

Was the sex of the original animal guaranteed?

Could you please post the conversation? Because it has to be a joke.

Dan I'm with you on this one. I was thinking the same exact thing. This doesn't sound believable.
You need to post your conversations. If your telling the truth that guy is off his rocker.

I think most cham breeders won't guarantee sex on young juveniles but as we don't know the age of the OP's cham at time of purchase hard to say. Breeders who have worked with particular bloodlines a long time might be more certain. Again, we don't know this about the seller.

I think your wrong. Let's say a male cost $200 and a female cost $100 and you buy a male and get a female I think any reputable breeder that makes a mistake and sends a female instead of male would correct the problem.
I could see if they were all one price with no guarantees on sex written out then that would be one thing. But if your selling males and females the seller needs to get it right or fix it if a mistake is made.

Something is off with this post … the OP hasn't returned to answer any questions.

I'd like to know if the OP contacted Reptasia UK to let them know about their post.
