Bogus Parsons Advertisement?

[Andrew1283]

I saw this online and thought it has to be bogus, right? That’s clearly a mature orange-eyed Parsons male. For $750.00 at Texas Reptiles International. I messaged them to see if this is real.

I would not trust that advertisement. That Calumma parsonii parsonii looks wild caught meaning maybe. However from what I have seen wild caught Calumma parsonii parsonii normally go over $1000.00 for adults.

Yup bogus, I would say.

It's apparently run by Claude Davis...

"The men then would take the turtles to a flea market in Canton, Texas, where most were sold to Claude Davis III. Davis previously pleaded guilty in Texas federal court to similar charges."

As someone who works in and studies law... ALWAYS Google the individuals and resources you buy your pets (and anything else important) from, if it's not a well established person/business.

I wonder if anyone got scammed by ordering and never got their orders?
