Would you ever purchase an animal from someone who is under the age of 18?I'm not thinking about it just wanted to know your opinions.

thanks

Absolutely not, not unless this was a face to face purchase. The problem with people under 18 is they cant be held liable for their actions. They are minors so, if they rip you off there is nothing that can be done. Ive read a few stories about this.

In most cases I would say yes, but I bought my bearded dragon from a guy not 18 yet, and she came through in the mail perfectly healthy and happy. I did talk to him a LOT before sending him money though. I knew I could trust him.

I would feel comfertable buying from sumone under the age of 18. I'd deffinatly talk to them a lot b4 buying, and develope a buyer/seller relationship, but if i knew that they were good ppl, then i wouldnt think twice about it.
