Awesome Ed! I was thinking the same thing...

Yes, Ken you are right. I saw this post on CL and figured I would paste it here.

Mike is drop shipping .buying from Exotic Reptile Jungle. He is posting their complete price list and altering the prices up a little. He offeres the entire list as "available", but does not actually buy the animal until someone Paypals him for it.

He is also posting/offereing venemous to washington customers. He is here in Washington, in Chattaroy. WA is a NON HOT state.This is rediculous if he is in fact keeping, buying, and reselling venemous. Although his ads offer it, I have not been able to confirm that anyone is actually shipping him venemous.

Its great how wendy is posting everything about me that is untrue. EVEN BETTER TO KNOW THAT SHE WILL BE GOING TO COURT! Soon she will be served and she will regret writing everything that she has. And to whomever john adams is i am not asking full price for a hedgehog. $100-$125.00 is CHEAP!. They go for $175-$225.00 here in spokane.

Look up wendy childs and jeanne best and see what scams they have done. I HAVE HAD ONE PROBLEM WITH A CUSTOMER AND A BASALISK THAT WAS RESOLVED. WENDY PRETENDED TO BE MY CUSTOMERS ON CL AND I HAVE A WRITTEN LETTER UNDER PENALTY OF PURGERY THAT MY CUSTOMER DID NOT WRITE THE POST. WENDY DID!

I think the point here is that craigslist does not allow the sale of animals in the pet section. Wether they are being offered for "CHEAP!" or not isn't the point. If it was a pet (being rehomed by the pet owner who couldn't keep it anymore) it would be ok to post it there. But it's not. The rules are there for a reason.
And whoever John Adams is, Imho Mike owes him an apology.

P.S. I went into Reptile Addictions for the first time recently. It is the most immaculately clean pet store I've ever been to in my entire life. Beautiful, clean setups. Healthy animals and a wide selection. Definitely worth the drive.

Prove that i am selling them. You cant. If i was asking for example $80.00 for a ball python baby. Ya that would be selling. But i only ask $35.00 for them on CL. So, how would that be considered selling? And she gets her animals from the same place i do. She has imported species, wild caught species and captive species. MOST PEOPLE IN THE PUBLIC HAVE NO IDEA WHERE ANY OF THE ANIMALS ACTUALLY ORIGINATE FROM. Forest hingeback tortoise are only WILD CAUGHT. Most agamids are only Wild caught. So, shes complaining about me importing animals when she does the same. But like i said the GENERAL "YOU" public doesnt know where the animals actually come from. Ask to see her breeder animals at her facility. I bet she doesnt have 90% of them.

AND ITS FUNNY SHE IS HAVING PROBLEMS COMPETING WITH A 19 YEAR OLD. LOL

Is this serious?

Tell me you are kidding? My problem with you is that you are listing and probably selling venemous snakes in my state where it is illegal. PERIOD.Combined with your lack of customer service that brings all your unhappy customers in my store with your problems begging for help.

You are comparing apples to oranges, my store verses your trailor in cheney. PLEASE! As a store policy we only carry CB and CBB animals. I have no problems showing paperwork proof of that to anyone who asks.

You are a foul mouthed bully, you strong armed your way into my store once threatning me and winded up with a no tresspassing order from the police. Start saving you pennies to take me to court......for what? LOL!

Lady you are stupid. Nasty ass x porn star is what you are. Your forest hingebacks arent captive bred neither are your agamas. And you dont have my address.lol Good try though. AND Selling reptiles through VENOMOUSREPTILES.ORG IS LEGAL. I DONT SELL TO ILLEGAL STATES. So, once again keep guessing. And what customers? ONLY ONE WAS DAVID HAMMOND AND THAT HAS BEEN RESOLVED. OH YOU MEAN NANCY N.? THE LADY WHO YOU PRETENDED TO BE ON CRAIGSLIST BAD MOUTHING ME? I HAVE A LETTER WRITTEN FROM HER UNDER PENALTY OF PURJURY SAYING IT WAS YOU!LOL

AND THE ONLY ONE YELLING IN THE CONVERSATION WE HAD WAS YOUR CRAZY ASS!

UMMM LETS SEE!
CALLING THE POLICE ON A FALSE REPORT.
HARRASSMENT
FALSE IMPRISONMENT
SLANDER
INTERFERENCE OF BUSINESS.

kEEP GOING AND YOU ARE GOING TO PISS OFF EVERYONE IN SPOKANE

And we were never served anything. Just told us to leave. You know it really makes you look bad when you try and bring down a 19 year old and all you do is badmouth other businesses in town because yours is slooow. MAYBE YOU SHOULD BUY MORE CRESTED GECKOS FROM PETCO/PETSMART AND RESELL IN YOUR STORE!
