New addition- Dumerils- concerned!!!

[rocknhorse76]

I have no experience with Dumerils, but if you bought him from a repticon show then I would go back and have a talk with that vendor tomorrow.

Q. Are there restrictions about Wild-Caught Animals?


A. There is no restriction regarding the sale of legal, wild-caught animals. Exhibitors are not required to display any particular signage, but are required to disclose any pertinent information to interested guests, including whether a particular animal is wild-caught or captive bred.

That is copied straight from the repticon site. He failed to disclose pertinent information regarding the scars, also regarding the health of the animal:

Q. Are there any restrictions on the products or animals that can be sold at Repticon?

A. All animals must be healthy and legal to sell within the state. Vendors who intentionally and repeatedly offer illegal or unhealthy animals for sale may be banned from future shows.

Dumeril's are an endangered species and are illegal to export from Madagascar, which is their native environment. So, there is absolutely no danger that that is a wild-caught specimen.
