We take scams very seriously. Unfortunately, there are fake pages and individuals pretending to be Bayntons Reptiles in an attempt to rip people off. This page exists to protect our customers, set the record straight, and ensure that nobody gets caught out.

✅ Who You Can Trust
The only three people you will ever deal with at Bayntons Reptiles are:
Wayde Baynton (primary contact)
Brodie Baynton
Shane (part of the business but rarely communicates with customers)
If you are not speaking to one of these three directly through official Bayntons Reptiles channels, you are not dealing with us.

❌ Red Flags That It’s a Scam
If someone says they are Bayntons Reptiles but they are located in Newcastle, Melbourne, Sydney, or anywhere outside Brisbane.
If they ask you to pick up from anywhere other than Brisbane, Queensland.
If they are selling from a different Facebook/Instagram page or a personal account instead of our official pages.
If they pressure you to pay quickly without verification.
If the prices seem “too good to be true” — they usually are.

We are based in Brisbane, Queensland.

⚠️Why This Matters
We have built our reputation and our bloodlines over years of hard work. Scammers will happily destroy that in minutes by taking money and never delivering an animal. Protecting our community is a priority for us.
