At the time I made my purchase there wasn't anything bad about her other than renigging on a deal with Barbie. I did check the BOI but found no more than that. I did wonder at the time if they had worked everything out, but of course, it wasn't any of my business so I dismissed it from my mind. The fact that Nick and I both purchased dragons from a multiple listing she had posted makes me wonder if anyone else has had problems with her or if it is just the two of us. I don't have any evidence of her abuse to other animals, but I will say that I think it is abusive to breed an animal as small as the female I received, so the animal is actually lucky if she reabsorbed her eggs or just wasn't gravid at all. It is also extremely abusive/negligent to ship animals in such a haphazzard manner, and finally, it is horribly, horribly wrong to ship an injured animal like Nicks little female. Also, Blueeyes Dragons isn't very happy that their name was used to deceive people into buying animals.
I have endured a lot of stress this past month over those two dragons and have worked with them a lot to get them over the trauma they suffered during shipping. I didn't ask Miss Martin to refund the purchase price of the dragons but I did ask her to refund the full amount I paid for shipping when I contacted Fedex and learned that she had shipped them ground instead of overnight, as agreed.
I know Fauna is not responsible in any way for the actions of its members, but, as this case involves downright misrepresentation of animals listed for sale I thought it was worth mentioning in the interest of heighyening awareness.
And let me be perfectly clear about this, I bought the so-called "Italian Import" from a listing on this site but the "gravid" female was purchased through our communications. She wasn't listed on the ad I saw.
Furthermore, not everyone is fully aware of the BOI and doesn't know to investigate sellers before buying. Whether it be from lack of computer skills, naivetee, orsometimes even visual impairment(as in my case) people sometimes miss things they should have been aware of, but that doesn't mean that they deserve to be cheated. I have always believed in "caveat emptor" but I felt that it would be safe to purchase animals I found im fauna listings. I placed my trust in fauna, you see, and I still trust fauna, but now I don't necessarily trust the listings unless I know the sellers beforehand, and that is a shame, because most of the people on fauna are honest, hardworking individuals who genuinely care about the animals in their care.
I truly hope that everyone sees what Bionca is truly capable of and that our own justice is caried out by not selling buying or trusting her in anyway!! The cops may not be able to do anything but we as a community are stronger and can blow her "business" out of the water. Again i am so sorry for what has happened to your dragon, best of luck with the other. Barb
