    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.....

    =====================
    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Beware of Jeane Best & Wendy Childs

Ok. Here are some Screen shots from her website!

This is her Terms (TOS)... I underlined the important part in RED! It says that if your not their to sign for the package on the first delivery attempt then guarantee is VOID! Just like mine..... Why is she mad at me with my TOS when hers is the EXACT same!!

Here is one of the geckos I sold her. It is number "CG-06-10" on my web-page and here is the pic from my webpage and her pic:

So apparently all the geckos I sold her that she claims as "sick" are females... Well I have NEVER met or heard of anyone who can sex a baby crested at 3-4 grams.... Also they dont look very sick to me..

I just find it VERY odd..... Is it just me or does anyone else find it odd??

Thanks Erik

WOW... those 2 sites went up quick! Or maybe they had both alternate business sites ready....? Since Wendy was so quiet, maybe this is what she was working on. More things that make you go "Hmmmm"

I see that Jeane is still selling gutload...... *sigh*
At least she isn't using our product name on it or offering our roach barrier for sale..... yet!

Funny thing... she is advertising that "her" gutload has 48 ingredients - whew! I wonder if someone could get the list. We use lots of ingredients, but not that many. And she is selling it for $15 per pound!?!??!?!?!!?

Who in their right mind would buy it at that price??? That is 5 times the price we retail it at..... whoa, she sure must be greedy!

Hmmm, I wonder who she is going to buy it from in the future........

P.S. Those cresties sure look the same to these old eyes...
 
Just thought I would let you folks know...... the harrassing phone calls have started to come in here too.

Jeane asked if I wanted to "bash her on the phone as I have on Fauna" (quoting her). When I said "sure - what do you want to hear" she immediately said she never sold our gutload as hers..... (yeah, right). When I countered with the witness seeing it listed as "Roach Coach" on their website - she asked a female in the background if it was on the website. The female voice said "H__l no!" I said I didn't want to listen to Wendy and hung up.

The phone rang again within seconds... of course it was the same number - but I just turned the ringer off. She left a message, saying she couldn't remember when she bought the gutload last, and she only fed it to her roaches and her niece's roaches - didn't sell it. And as for the bug guard (funny, she can't recall what it is called, yet she advertised it for sale on Kingsnake!) - she spilled a jar and had to get a new jar. (So why did she ask me if she could buy it in larger sizes???)

She went on to say that she wouldn't refer anyone to our website. Heck, am I worried? Nope... I am delighted, actually. I never want to be associated with any business relationship with either of them.

Gosh... they never quit denying do they!?! Even when there is irrefutable proof - like the screenshots of the ads and witnesses.

Doesn't sound to me like you have any idea what constitutes a harassing phone call. When you hung up on Jeane did you state clearly you did not want either of them to ever call you back? Maybe I missed that part.

Sort of sounds like your sales suck and you're looking to promote your gutload and bug barrier.

Well....hey...if Wendy wants to harass me and use foul language on the phone I'm down with that. Maybe Jean will pick up the other line and we can make it a menage a trois. :rolleyes:

How about when they call for 18 hours straight, threatening your family and your life. Or when they say they are sending some local friends your way. And they continue after they have been warned to stop by me, my local police and Spokane sherriffs dept. Plus they have a record of having some guy being kidnapped and beaten for 12 hrs straight, because they thought the guy turned them in for credit card fraud.

They still call and hang up and every call is traced and logged. So I guess its all a big joke. So lets see how far they try to take it. Criminals aren't to bright. So it should only be a matter of time before they try something really stupid.

I'm sure all of you will love to see how that turns out. You never know who your dealing with, when you cross that line.

What kind of chump change are we talking about here Eric? Whats the total dollar figure that you've refused to refund that could probably buy you peace and quiet? How much? Half Million? Million?

All the more reason to refund the money and call it a loss. Theres enough sympathetic folks here who might be delighted to throw extra business your way so you could recoup that loss.

Chage your home number and get a seperate business line that goes to voicemail. How hard is that? Youre in business right? Crap like this happens in business. You think youre the only person on the planet who's ever had thier phone number ringing off the hook by some psychotic bent customer? Grow up and handle your bussiness for cryin out loud. What are you playing some sissy baiting game to sue them for harrasment?

Sounds to me like your counting on it. You seem to indicate your scared out of your pants, but yet you keep baiting them with further insults.

Oh please....chill out Clint Eastwood. A retired pornstar and her aging mother showing up at my front door to get rough with me wouldn't be a problem unless they didn't give me enough time to put on my speedos and fill my koi pond with chocolate pudding.

For christ sake where did I put my bottle of Valium.....you phukers are nuttier than rocky road. Oh crap....Rocky Roads....another pornstar. She coming after you too to crush you with her titanic breasts?
 
I think you need another Valium

Do you need to buy a clue? I didn't lose a cent to the scam artist. Wendy and Jeane tried and lost.

Thier attack on me was completley unprovoked and was a product of thier sick, twisted drug induced brain cell.

Twisted people like this do not happen in business. A mental ward yes, Drug dealing yes, Prostitution yes, Holding off a SWAT team yes. Not with reptiles. I don't know what type of business your in that this happens. I handle my business in a way that this has never happened until now. I'm not baiting anyone, they seem to handle that all by themselves. I do not play games.

How do you figure? You threaten my family I take care of it. You send a couple of panzies to a reptile show, to my place of business — it was taken care of. If I was scared I wouldn't be at the next Hamburg show and the Next White Plains show Sept 10th. A couple of half witted criminals couldn't shake a leaf, but they need to be dealt with leagally. Its called a reality check, so maybe they will think twice before they scam their next victum.

Now that would be funny, If that happens I promise all will be forgiven. Just leave the poor koi alone! Thats just cruel!

Yes bill have another Valium, and I don't think her titanic breasts are a threat anymore. Remember she popped them. I think they a more like dingies flappin in the wind.
 
Okay, I didn't want to get involved in this, but she's gone too far and irritated the crap out of me!

I too have had dealings with Jeane and Wendy. Right around the same time that Erik was sending her geckos, I was sending her two female cresties. The package went out on July 10th. I contacted her on July 11th to see if she had received the geckos because she hadn't gotten back to me. She replied on July 12th saying that she had, indeed received them.

On the 13th, I get an email stating that one of the geckos is doing badly, that the vet has checked on her, and that they don't believe she will make it through the night. On the afternoon of the 14th, she sent me pictures of the dead gecko.

Jeane wrote me, wanting a full refund for the gecko. Technically, because she received the geckos on the morning of the 11th, and she only sent positive picture ID on the afternoon of the 14th, this fell outside my 3 day guarentee. I write her and tell her this and she claims that she didn't receive the geckos on the 11th, she received them on the 12th (at this time, I didn't have a tracking number, so I couldn't look it up to be sure). I believe her, and believe that being in a hot box for two days is what caused the geckos death. I agree to refund her the $75 for the gecko.

I have been waiting to get some money on a credit card, and yesterday, I receive notification that a paypal dispute has been opened against me---for items never even recieved by Jeane Best! She trying to get the full $190 back that she sent me.

I made a couple phone calls, got the tracking number---and low and behold, find that Jeane actually received the package on July 11th, not the 12th. The proof fell outside the 3 day guarentee. (Here's the tracking number: eq511377485us). I have sent this tracking number to paypal to confirm that the package was received... however, she signed for it BFS, and the delivery confirmation doesn't give the full address of where it was received (shipped USPS). I'm worried that this won't be enough information for paypal and that they will rule in her favor---and I'll be taken for two geckos AND $190.

At this point, this is just adding to a laundry list of offenses... but I wanted to put my story out there, too. Watch your back if you deal with these two women---make sure you have all the information, and keep track of days and email. Any little loophole they find, they will use against you.

Thank-You for sharing!! It just seems to Odd that out of every shipment she gets something dies.... Then she tries to get her FULL payment back....lol..

Well I talked to paypal yesterday and they said since she filed a "non-receipt" with me too that all they need is the tracking number, which they already have, and they will try to put an end to it...

Also I showed paypal my TOS and her TOS and all that and how she was mad at me for my TOS when hers is the EXACT same..

Pay-pal said that they will most likely just close the case...

Thanks Erik
