"Look, i dont care what you lot want to call them, people can buy them as they see the pics so they know exactly what they are getting. If i was doing false advertising dont you think the people would see that when they came to buy them?"



I notice that you are calling them leucistic on your website. If you don't know what a leucistic is and you have to ask, you should not jump to that conclusion and call them that. Just tell the honest truth on your website. "These babies are from someone else's breeding and I was told they are red x snows. Aren't they beautiful?! Selling for only £65 - £70 what a great deal!"



Like you said, your customers will see them and if they like them they will buy them. Don't tack on a name like leucistic just because it looks like a picture on the internet. Leucistic is a touchy term anyways since as we know it there are currently no *real* leucistic bearded dragons... just marketed leucistics which normally go for around $500. I know you aren't intentionally false advertising, but if you start selling them as leucistics on your website when you don't know for certain, then that is false advertising. It's making them appear to be more valuable than they probably are. You don't want your customers to really think they are getting leucistics for such a great price and start breeding them and selling the babies for leucistic prices. That wouldn't be fair to them or their customers either.



I'm not judging you, I know you're a good person and would not intentionally decieve so please don't take me wrong. I just think you should just call them what you were told they are.... red x snow. They look more like snows/hypos to me than "leucistics" anyways.



Good luck.
