    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.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    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....

Question?

I did a trade and this dragon is inthe worst condition i have ever seen a dragon be in. He has agreed to trade me back but my delema is the ethical part. This dragon has a URI Yellow fungus growing on her head and has obviously been attacked by another dragon multiple times (wich was admited unlike the other things). My questoin is: Is it even ethical to alow someone to do business like this and not tell some one evn if the trade back goes through? I dont even know if she will make it back alive.
What would you all do in this situation?
 
I would say because he did agree to take it back, therefore, as far as you being his customer has rectified the situation, that no, a BOI post is no in order.

However, on the other hand, if the animal was clearly in that bad of condition, I worry and may want to post on that. It may be a isolated incident, but if he was so clearly sick and injured, and yet still traded, probably not. With this being said, I think it should be known as it is very possible that in general, the care they provide is sub-par to say the least and I don't think anyone here would want to do business with them.

On another note, personally, after I sent the animal back and knew it had arrived, I might even go so far as to call their local animal control office and report a neglect situation. I know many people on here do not like to include the authorities due to the industry getting a bad rep, but I don't think it is fair to allow these animals to suffer if they are being neglected.
 
I believe a BOI thread is in order of one party sends another party an extremely sick animal. I would ask the seller to pay for the critter to see a vet now, rather than be shipped back immediately, ill, if you are willing to take it and get it seen and if you and the seller agree the critter was ill prior to shipping. But you are saying that the seller is not admitting 'the other things' so there are actually two sides to this story.
While the seller has said he would reverse the trade it has not yet been done. The BOI is both for resolution and for warning others, I certainly would not want to buy from someone who would send out a sick critter in the first place but the seller should be able to present his side if he is saying that the critter was in fact not ill when shipped.
 
I do have pics. I had to get her at the post office at 2 in the morning i took pics thier right away and have been taking pics since
 
I would say an information thread would be fair.

If you don't want to put the label "bag guy" on the seller, an info thread would be legitimate to warn other people.
 
I just wish i knew more about yellow fungus its sressfull and i just ghope my dragons dont get it too. does any one know any great sites i have been googleing all day?
 
Yes every time. But i did handle her on my chest. I always wash my hands but was unaware of the danger of spores and i held my other dragons on my shoulders and chest as well. I am unsure of the percentage of possiblity of them catching it but i am very worried right now. I was told not to get the dragon back that i traded because thier is a large possibilty that she will also be carieing theinfection by now. I am going to the vet monday to get a full report and when everything is confermned will ask to have my dragon fully paid for.
 
Is yellow fungus completely curable? And are dragons unbreedable after they have had it? Any answers would be helpfull i cant find info on line
 
Had to put the dragon down today:( So sad she was so pritty and will be missed!
