I wold not say that the seller of these lizards was a liar. He spoke very rapidly and made it extremely difficult to get information from him. I would not say the lizards were abused. I google their care and shopped at PetSmart for what they needed. I now have 6 which is an additional 4 from what I purchased at the Pet Expo. The seller did allege to be selling them for the boy scouts. The website "mybabydragon.com" is an attractive website which I can not access as I keep getting "internal server error".

I saw this at the Renaissance Fair and I thought it was absolutely disgusting. The lady was giving false information to people leading them to believe that they are able to live in the small cage and have a small diet. Absolutely horrible.

This man is a con representing himself as affiliated with the boy scouts which he is not....he keeps the lizards in torturous conditions and they often die after purchase due to negligent information

This is insane. The lizard my friend tried to purchase from this place died after she tried to save it, the abuse towards these lizards is just terrible.

My daughter and I went to the Green Dragon today in Ephrata, PA and saw a stand with lizards. The man's name was George and went thru the whole speal about he sells them for the boy scouts and they are "green dragons" being sold at the Green Dragon. My daughter spent $55 total for the largest cage he had, which was $15 for the lizard, $10 for a light that was crap and broke the moment we were home, and $30 for the cage, which had soil, rocks, sea shell and plant in it. We get it home and she researches it to find out what a scam artist this guy is. We now have to go to the pet store for items to properly care for her. She's supposedly pregnant so we'll see if this is true. I'll keep you posted. But how many people have to sign this before something is done. How can we track them down to punish them for the abuse and pure false advertisement?

So i just bought one today not really knowing anything either but i decided to look up information on them and stumbled upon some misinformation i was given by this man selling these little lizards. Now seeing this petition and other reviews i feel so bad for purchasing a baby dragon. The only good thing that i can take from this is knowing that i at least rescued this little guy and i will make sure he has everything REQUIRED. Im also going to print out proper care information for Anole lizards and pass them out at the Renaissance Fair for the last 2 days they're here. Maybe providing that information and telling people about this guy may give these innocent little lives a fighting chance. Thank you.

This guy is a scam and he needs to be stopped for the sake of these animals not to mention the heart break for the children they are bought for

This man "Howard" sold us a "dragon" in a tank that was completed unsuited, gave us entirely wrong information and as of now my anole is very sick and brown which indicates illness. Complete scammer. Says he's affiliated with the boy scouts...

https://m.yelp.com/biz/saint-georges-dragon-orphanage-brooklyn He is scamming people. The adopters and the lizards deserve better. He even claimed to be raising money for the Boy Scouts of America. Lied a about how to care for the animal, which entails a lot more than what he states. He calls them dragons so people wont look up what they really are and realize the responsibility they entail. Those that dont know any better take these animals home and in essence kill them by following his poor care instructions.

I was sold a lizard that I named Ignjs in a very small cage one that is used for fishes with bedding that cant be used for him. I wasnt informed about his cages and necessary equiptment and was given a small sheet with the wrong information. They told me I good feed him baby food and he'd be fine if I couldnt get crickets and that you feed him Every three or four days which is 100% false. Ignis, the one I purchased, didnt last even a week (6 days) and stopped eating around the third or forth day. I realized then that he had a parasite and died from the result. I was not told of his condition. He sold him for over four times his worth(25$ when he is worth 5 at a local pet shop) telling me he was worth at least 80. I see comments saying that your lizard lasted 3 or 2 years, which is probably unlikely as this organization scams and sells sick lizards, were also scammed being that the life span of anole lizards are 8 years. It was a horror story for me to go through a quick death of one of my first pets that I spent so much time and money trying to take care of him, to only spend six days with him. Most of the lizards had turned brown meaning they were either severpy stressed or ill. I cant even fit all the wrong this man has done. NEVER BUY ANOLE LIZARDS FROM THIS MAN HE WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND LEAVE YOU WITH A SICK LIZARD.

These anoles do not spend the entire time in these small cages. They are put in the cages in the morning before the event. They are transported in a huge mesh cage which allows them to get plenty of air. They DO get water. They drink water off of the sides of the tank and the tanks are sprayed with water several times a day. They are also give LIVE CRICKETS in the large transport cage. They are not forced to eat manufactured food!!! You are told when you purchase a small tank that it is good for a couple of days but that you should buy an aquarium!!!!! I had one that lived for 2 years. I also have a friend that had one for 3 years!!!
