Dear Sir,
I am writing you this letter to express my extreme dissatisfaction in a chameleon that I purchased from you. You may recall that I am the collector from Florida with the female Ambanja-Nosy Be-Sambava-Tamatave-Ambilobe cross that produced flat gray offspring.
In any event, I answered your advertisement for a "Male Purple Banded Ambanja Screamer" and purchased him for full price for $550 plus $75 in shipping charges.
When I received him, I was well pleased with his appearance, though you failed to mention that he did not have a tail. Also, I learned that his balance problems were not due to an "inner ear infection" as you suggested, but rather...as my vet pointed out...his right legs are shorter than his left ones.
No, I am writing because, though I have had him now for almost a full month, he has made no sound whatsoever. Not a peep. At this point, I am concerned about what appears to be deceptive advertising methods. He was advertised as a "SCREAMER", yet he has yet to make a sound! What type of customer service is this? I understand that they all can't be winners, but I expected something. Maybe a yell, or at least a yodel, but all he does is suns himself in complete silence. Its very irritating!
I feel let down by this whole experience because I understand you are new to this business but I thought I'd take a chance on you for a superior animal.
Please write me back and tell me the trick to making him scream. Despite protests from my wife, I even tried thumping him and squeezing his tail stump, but it had no effect. Not even when I tried to stretch his right legs. Perhaps I am using the wrong feeding methods (free-range), or (worse), he may have laryngitis.
Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter,

P.S. And why does he keep trying to dig a hole at the base of his plant???
