Thats the one color that has never appealed to me (carrick bugs excluded)
This thing on dragon color and returns seems to only be a big deal on red ones and I have seen it so many times, not just here, but many forums and sites.
If its that darn important to a buyer, I think they should have some responsibility also to clarify they want a RED dragon. Once you make a sale on an animal that you have provided pictures of I guess if it is orange we all need to make sure the color the person thinks they are buying is ORANGE and no guaratees what it will be when it sheds.
Reddish colors often shed out orange or gold. Dragons lighten as they age usually with each shed. If talked to a few people that bought dragons they through was red and was unhappy when it arrived a deep orange or shed to shades of orange, asking them if it was sold as red they say no, but they saw it and thought the breeder did not know what he had and they were getting a deal......... duh!
And yes, the person SHOULD bear the cost of the shipping, you have to now separately house that dragon and quaratine it, as you have no way of knowing what it might have been exposed to since it left your home and I have seen more than one breeder have their entire collection wiped out by a returned animal that was infected with something it got at the purchasers home.
