    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Bad Guy Wendy Childs, Reptile Addictions

Anybody care to reiterate/warn how fast that gabby can pull that top card!! I thought they were the fastest card pullers!! But; according to the research; WDB's are.. Although not as fast as WDB's and not as accurate; well; I'm wasting my time aren't I??


Hey, if she wants to chance her own removal from the gene pool who are we to go out of our way to stop her? :shrug01: Some people just think they know better. Those are usually the ones you read about in the paper.
 
That is NOT my home address,

I DO NOT HAVE/OWN any snakes in my home, certainly not venomous animals either of any kind.

We do not carry any such thing in store either.

Hey Wendy!

Good job answering the easy question. :thumbsup:

Now, I realize a lot of new water has passed under the bridge since you last posted, so maybe you skipped over these issues. Now that you're back....care to address these questions?

I have no dog in this fight , other than the fact I hate those who don't know darts, but try to keep, misrepresent and sell them.

A few facts. IF you got these frogs from an import from 3-3-5 years ago, and IF you remain in belief that these frogs are true Blue Jeans Pumilio from Costa Rica (all BJs come from Costa Rica) then you had better call up F+W and turn them over because they are part of a 100% illegal import.

Also, pums don't transport tads 100 feet in the sky.

I work with legal BJs, both blue and black, and what you have are almost 100% certainly not BJs.
I don't know you, but we don't need people like you in the hobby, or business.

Oh, and if you are saying that the Florida importer imported them from EU, I'd love to see the paperwork. They all need CITES paperwork , all dendrobates.
I am not aware of any BJ imports from 3-3.5 years ago.
You know nothing of pums, it shows. As simple proof, Man Creeks go for about $100. Blue Jeans go for about $300 each. Depending on if you get them from a reputable dealer or not. You are an uniformed dealer who needs to move back to snakes.

She has no explaination, she is either ignorant and selling frogs she should not. Knows what she has, which are not BJs, and is selling frogs she should not. Or , she is a liar and is selling frogs she should not. Get the common thread here?

Do you have any evidence to prove you don't keep snakes at your home, let alone a Bitis? Do you have any evidence to prove that Fran Callan is not the real name of that poster?
 
And wendys offline. Guess that sums it all up. Thanks for confirming you're a bad person to do business with ;)
 
I would like to first than Kevin for reading over the tons of info I sent. I knew that you are well respected in the community and people would value your opinion as being an honest one. Although it proved that I was not lieing about a half dozen things I was accused of. It appears it fell on deaf ears and blind eyes. But, thank you for your time.

Anyone reputable is welcome to come to my home, many reputable people have. I do NOT keep snakes of any kind. Scraps, state fish and game, and federal fish and game have all been to my home. Zoo med reps past and present have been there. I dont need to prove that. It is a well known fact.

Mike Matson Jr is who sell illegal venomous in this town. He is working at the mall store showing anyone who will listen pics of his venomous snakes on his black berry.Many have reported him. I have posted about it on here, and on the venomous sales forum. I have reported him to fish and game. One day he will be caught.

Scraps is for the humane care of animals, not what kind of animals you keep. Fish and game- state is where you report illegal animals. If you need the number let me know.

The webmasters can figure out who "fran" is, they do and ban the new user name every time. It's always the same kind of posts. Its blatantly obvious. Its not my job to prove it.

Lastly , a week ago this thread turned into Wendy bashing, low blows, and ill relevant topics. I will not participate in such threads....................period.

I will take Darrens advice, the TRUE expert in this matter. The sale of the frogs is no ones business outside of myself and the buyer. I sold the buyer what I believe to be Blue Jeans. The buyer is happy with the transaction. Thats the end of it. Great advice from the top frogger everyone has held in the highest esteem here.

You can jabber away with all the derogatory name calling and mud slinging.................you wont get a reply from me. Not one person here has proved to be worthy of my time or response.

Have a great weekend.

Lexie, I'm not exactly in Wendy's corner right now, despite trying to give her the benefit of the doubt awhile ago. However, I have to say its entirely unfair to ask someone to prove a negative. It can't be done. Please prove to us that you DON'T own any deadly scorpions in your home. How exactly would you go about doing that? It's up to the person doing the accusing to prove what they say is true....and quite frankly, I don't trust Wendy's "enemies" any more than I trust her. :rolleyes: The person accusing her of keeping the snake hasn't offered a shred of proof of anything they said.

As for the FROG issue.....well, she's made her stance. She's told her story and she's sticking to it, I guess. Anyone reading this will make their own decision about whether or not they wish to trust someone who shows so little regard about properly identifying the animals she sells.

Someday, though...her buyer will post some frogs to sell and say, "HEY, they were SOLD TO ME AS blue jeans, so that's what I say they are"....and that person will catch just as much heat as everyone else who uses that lame excuse to get away with selling wrongly identified animals.
 
For those that don't remember the drama of the rankins/drankins thread that wendy posted here about another dragon breeder a while back I think it might a good read to see the kind of double talk and bs she is pulling now.

She went on and on about how it doesn't matter what an animal is sold to you as, if you don't verify, with 100% certainty, that you know exactly what it is, you have NO BUSINESS SELLING IT.
And yet here she is giving the same answers that the person she was accusing of being a bad guy for selling what they "believed to be" one thing that they were sold, and acting as if it's perfectly ok.
So Wendy, I guess your opinions on things only apply to others when it suits your needs right? I mean as long as the person you acquired the frogs from told you they were blue jeans, they don't have to verify for sure that they are and neither do you, right? There's just no way it makes you a bad guy to be selling unverifiable species of animals as 100% guaranteed just because that's what you were told they were, even if that exact thing is what you claim makes other people worthy of their very own bad guy thread.

Your constant evasions and double speak in every single thread you've ever been involved in has put you at the bottom of the barrel in my eyes. I don't care how many people think you've cleaned up your act. If they actually sat down and read through every single one of your threads from start to finish it would be glaringly obvious exactly the kind of person you once were and still are. BAD GUY from day one.
 
As for aquiring BJ pumilio as imports, I'm going to repost this from earlier in the thread.

The only cb amphibians to come out of Costa Rica in a very long time are the frogs that have recently come from the program set up by the Costa Rican Amphibian Research Center run by Brian Kubicki. The cb frogs that Brian produced did not include any pumilio.

One can go to the CITES Trade Database and look to see when the last time Dendrobatids were exported from Costa Rica. The last legal export of pumilio for commercial purposes (according to Costa Rica's reports) was back in 1995. You have to look under Dendrobates pumilio as the data base has not been updated to recognize Oophaga as of yet.
The trade database can be accessed here http://www.cites.org/eng/resources/trade.shtml and does require a registration each time you use it.

Good point. My mistake.
 
Wendy,

I find it sad that you haven't learned from your past mistakes. You should be happy that someone points out a mistake you made and corrects it. I would hope someone would do that for me if I misrepresented something. You can learn a lot from other people and not get so defensive about it.

You've just made my do not buy from list for the way you responded.
 
I also wish the buyer read all this. What happens when he breeds them and sells them to other unknowing people. I don't know about frogs, but I would think that would mess things up with breeding. Someone might breed the supposed blue jean to their blue jean and get something mixed. I hope those people would be smart enough to know they're different, but why take that chance.
 
I just received this in an anonymous e-mail.
