The only time I ever personally worried about an exotic animal at an auction was someone selling box turtles at the local poultry auction. I ended up buying them for way more than I should have, because I overheard the dude next to me promise his 10 year old son that he'd buy them and the kid could "fill up his fish tank with water and turn them loose in it". AUGH.
One was a gulf coast boxie and the other was an ornate. NOT WATER TURTLES. :wall: Sadly, this kind of stuff happens to reptiles all the time regardless of whether they come from an auction or pet store. People need to be educated.
