    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Like I said I don't edit pictures beyond cropping I am reading on Photo Shop it looks like it can do a lot but why would some one pay $300 + for it? My skills with a computer are limited I am best with the gaming part I enjoy Miltiary games (yes I know wierd for a girl) it helps me unwind. But beyond that I leave it to my friend who works on my website last thing I need to do is break this computer I just got it recently due to major issues with my old one. I am sorry if you guys think I photo shoped but I really didn't I only have one ad up right now it is my ad for babies coming soon I did those on Paint. And I am sorry Sheena is upset with me but I really think that dragon will color up in time I do not miss represent my animals this is not a business it is a hobby for me I do it because I like it and I also put a lot of the money made on dragons into reptiles I rescue.


Bubafat (Matt) I would really appreciate if you would be willing to help me get in the loop a little more with my Camera It would be a great help if I understand it more than I do I checked it I always have had it set to the Flower I've never used any other modes on it; I put it to the flower because that is what I used on my Power Shot before I "Graduated" to this one.

Yeah Matt, you could help her learn what ""running guy" and "mountains" mean. Then, if things work out you could show her all about the palm trees and the snowflakes.
 
good catch man
and to tom
no i personally have not experienced a dragon go into a full body shed all at once but im sure it "could" happen.

Tom please refrain from trying to slam me I will not respond and give you enjoyment you are entitled to your opinion and I did respond to you when I looked at dragons and you gave me prices I told you that you where asking too much for them.

And I don't play an innocent little girl I seriously don't get computers and my camera very well but hopefully that will change.

The color Guar? That is not uncommon do some searching you will be surprised many times (not with me though) People have freaked because a dragon came in looking dull and tried to cause issues they don't always understand that it can take a bit for a dragon to chill out and color up that is a way some breeders make sure to avoid that problem.

I quoted this off another breeders web site I do not wish to post the name if you would like a link to it I can provide it via email as long as the name dose not get listed on here.

Say i am slamming you if you want, im either pointing out the obvious, or calling you out on the b.s.. The only enjoyment i will get outta this is when you straighten out the problem you started... i am not on here to b.b.q. you, your doing that all on your own.

My prices were to high:rofl: i think 200 for a translucent leatherback in Aug of 09' isnt to high. i think ANYONE would have jumped on that deal. but hey guess your brown dragon is worth 245 shipped. lol that's basically what i offered that orange trans leather to you for. Execpt Ed was going to pick it up at the show so you didnt have to pay shipping... Need that e-mail? think i dont have it??? Think again!

Shenna, if this animal is SOOO bad, how come it's already up on your website listed as your "HOT NEW GIRL"....ALONG with a baby picture AND the in question "photoshopped" picture?
(Don't worry, I saved screenshots and the pictures just in case you decide to pull them from your website)

Baby picture (note: no photoshopping stamp on this picture)

Matt,
I took that first picture about 3 weeks before the 2nd picture I loaded it onto PC cropped in paint and posted it in JPEG I have Dial up BMP format seems to be better quality but takes me forever to load.

Thx for reposting we didnt see that the first time

lol well you didnt comment on that one and you sure seemed to comment on every post around it so i reposted just in case you didnt see it. Weather you did or didnt i thank reposting it was the correct thing to do to bring it back into the light.

Also, tom look at the dulled photo of this dragon on the front page. It is obvious the dragon is in shed check out the side spikes on the head and neck area. They are opaque grey screams shed to me.

Also, has anyone with this photo checking software on their computer (for honesty's sake and to be thorough) checked the OPs dull photo for photoshop editing?
 
Where did you guys get the picture you put threw the Exifer that said it is photo Shopped? I was looking at Lauras post the original picture was not titled Sunbeam it would be Morrigan with a b or c behind it her orignal name was "Morrigan"
 
Once a picture is attached to a post here it is titled as an attachment, it doesn't retain it's original name. I got the exif info straight from the image on the second post.
 
If you have the original image file still and would like to send it to me or someone else with an exif viewer to see if it shows something different than the info that was pulled from the one posted on this thread then I'd be willing to do so.
 
I do not have it anymore on my PC but I emailed my friend who works on my website to see if he still has it I know he took it off site but he may still have the file on his computer as soon as I hear from him I will let you know and send it to you Jessica
 
Sounds great, as that is really the only way to show for sure that absolutely nothing was edited. By checking the exif of the ORIGINAL image file directly. There are some websites out there, including some of the free image hosting sites that will actually strip all of the exif data off images once you upload them there. That's why it's best to check the source for the most accurate answer.
 
Pics

Brain,

I was also going to Pm gale about this dragon but sheena got to her first, I have done buisness with sheena so I jokingly pm'ed her about beating me to her. We later spoke through pm's ans she had mentioned already putting the ad pics on her website(she was extremely exited about getting this girl) she had also mentioned her dragon give away and told me to sign up.
While I signed up I also browsed through the whole website and personally seen the pictures exactly as they looked in the original sales ad already posted on her site the day of purchase if i'm not mistaken, So those pics have been on her site as they are since before shipping. Just a little F.Y.I. for the ones that this it seems odd.

Thank you,

Jeff Wyatt

I didnt comment because two people called her out on how ever they figured out that she photo - shopped the pics. Yes the piece of the back left is going into shed. now look at the rest of the body, legs, and tail, not in shed.An the whole body wont go into a shed because the head is.
So like i said i really want a side shot of the dragon to comment further.

Nicole sorry if i upset you, but your past track record well speaks for itself... Our 3 supposed business transactions was a waste of my time and as far as pricing goes i think EVERYONE knows i am the cheapest for what i sell. and my animals speak for them self. So try another excuse. i am sure you have more of those.
 
Just throwing in my 2 cents... I've had a few dragons go into shed during or right after being shipped out to customers. (other dragon breeders, must be experiencing this aswell, i've had it happen more than a hanful of times) It sucks, only because I want them to be blowen away by the color. I dont alter any colors on my pics, what you see is what you get. I've never dealt with Nicole, so I have no say so in her business practice. But I stand behind all my animals, and that the customer will be satisfied after the sales. Its a shame, that the dragon's coloration doesn't even closely resemble the dragon posted for sale.

Looking at both pictures they look like the same dragons.

Thats not what is in question it is def. the same dragon... She is being accused of photo shopping these pictures... Making the color brighter...

Honestly maybe we need a trust worthy person to clarify if the picture was cropped or not... Doesnt one of the mods usually step in and straighten a confused situation out?
