I ordered one trans tiger hypo and they surprised me with a female trans tiger hypo and a Italian leatherback

Wow that's awesome. I wonder what would happen if someone couldnt care for both.

 

[drgnfly2265]

Wow, what a surprise! They both look good. How old are they?

You looked nervous (I would have been too). Do you have another set up for the second? I wonder how they did together being shipped together...

 

[KingBeardedDragons]

Yah i have a couple extra 40 gallons they are doing great both eating and calming down. all will be great it makes my day

 

[Critter]

What the hell!!

Since when can you buy living creatures that come in tiny bags packed in tiny little sealed boxes! That's awful! That seems like animal cruelty to me! Imagine what those poor dragons must have felt being cramped up inside a tiny little cardboard box sealed so tightly that the person had to use scissors and everything to get them out. That should be illegal!!

I'm honestly almost shaking with rage right now. I can't believe what I just saw! Those are living creatures and they were being roughly handled around in a box as if someone had just ordered a DVD from eBay or something. Disgusting.

Shake with your rage. they are fine and doing great ftw. i was not rough with them eather i care for my bearded dragons. only the best for my beardies

 

[KingBeardedDragons]

But i do agree it is pretty scary for those dragons. in there being shipped didnt know who handled them.

I can't believe you bought from bloodbank!!!! obviously you haven't watched the video? watch this and you'll probably re-think buying from them again.

that is the only way to ship bearded dragons the smaller box stays warmer and it keeps them from sliding around to much throughout shipping as you can see the were perfectly fine coming out of the sack no stress marks. chill thats how all breeders ship their dragons

Ok guys, calm down. I agree that it is not the best thing in the world, but it is overnight and it is the only way to ship live animals. All breeders do this, not just bloodbank.
And yes, Bloodbank screwed up with the video BUT they did explain themselves, and although I do not agree with it, it does make sense. It isn't like they are feeding all their dragons scorpions and anoles everyday, but the fact of the matter is, whether we like it or not, beardies eat much worse things in the wild. I don't agree with bloodbank's methods for proving a point, but I'm not gonna condemn them to hell for it either. If I'm gonna attack somebody, it's gonna be the *****s who videotape fighting dragons or the one who fed their dragon a wolf spider. These are the enemies here, not bloodbank

Anyway, beautiful dragons you got there and that was very nice of them to send you two

Why do breeders need to "ship" dragons anyway? Whatever happened to caring breeders taking dragons to the reptile store and being in good hands? This is just proof of how corrupt the pet breeding industry is worldwide, even for reptiles. People are so greedy and obsessed with the physical appearance and "pretty colours" of their lizard that they would submit it to this "overnight shipping" which is blatant animal cruelty. Not only cruel but it has to be one of the most undignified things I have ever seen in my life. Shipping an animal in a box like that is reducing it to something on the same level or lower than most inanimate objects.

I can't believe you people. Your supposed to like reptiles yet you support this gross way of trading Dragons? Have you even seen the website of these "bloodbank dragons"? The whole thing is a joke! They have bred those poor dragons to the point that they are now a mockery of what dragons are supposed to be. Some of them don't even look like Bearded Dragons at all. They have been given freakish colours and appearances just for the sake of consumer dollars. Why do you think the strangely coloured ones are so much more expensive? These people don't care about the actual lizards they just want to earn the most money from it. What is so wrong with owning a Bearded Dragon which actual looks like a natural Beardie you might find in the wild? In the end it is the animals that suffer for this and I am grossly ashamed at anyone who supports this 'Bloodbank Dragons'.

I would not buy from bloodbank, but people do and we can't stop them. I would love for breeders to deliver to stores, but they don't. All the dragons in stores were shipped too

 

[TASTIGER]

so you would rather breeders give their babies to petco and petsmart to be crowded into 5 gallon tanks you are the one that should be ashamed they get shipped first class to caring owners thet dont live near good breeders

 

[NightmareDisco]

I also don't support bloodbank and I don't want anyone to think that I do. My dragon was a sickly little dehydrated baby from a mass petstore and I have nursed him into perfect heath, he is big and beautiful and I wouldn't trade him for anything. All I'm sayin is if you're gonna condemn bloodbank, you have to condemn every breeder on this site because they ALL ship to make money.

same with my sydney i got him from petco he was skinny and had scabs all over the place from being bit there was 20! beardies in a 5 gallon tank and they would just throw crickets in
