You're right about cameras, that's why I take a lot of pictures outside in natural light. I was using a Panasonic Lumix to get most of my pics and the colors are always true. A couple of weeks ago I purchased a brand new Nikon P100 and I can't get true to color pics for the life of me, so it sits useless and I'm back to my old point and shoot. I'm the same way about guaranteeing people get exactly what they want. When I have someone interested in buying a dragon, I send them pictures in natural light, artificial light (for comparison), as well as pictures of the dragon when its hot and cold so they can see the variance before they get it. I will take any dragon back no matter what and no matter when. I even ask that people ask me first before selling or giving their dragons away. I'm so proud of my babies I want first chance to get them back.
The dragon picture I posted above comes from the old skool, classic Chris Allen lines from years ago that were bred to old skool crimson lines. I spent years finding the perfect reds to breed for perfection. The proof is in breeding and being able to produce consistently red colored babies that don't fade or not have the ability to pass on the color in their blood lines. Until your lines are proven, you may have just lucked out and got the only pretty dragon in the clutch. That happens more than you know and unless you have pictures of parents and grandparents along with seeing all the siblings that look just as nice, you don't have any proof that it is any better than a colorless dragon born in the same clutch. I believe in the small breeders who can show you ten babies from the same parents who all look so awesome you can't make up your mind. The big breeders can't give you lineage information nor do they differentiate the babies so you know where they came from. I just think something isn't quite right about mixing up hundreds of dragons and selling the nicest ones for a premium price while trying to wholesale all the not so spectacular ones.
