    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

I noticed that Spokanelizardlady has at least 16 new classified ads up on Fauna. I tried a search under that name but it does not bring up this thread, did I do the search correctly?
 
Lucille,
You did not just come to Fauna yesterday. If someone wanted to search Fauna on moi, would they not be advised to search both my God-given name, and my business entity ? Glad to finally clear that up for you !
 
Actually Spokanelizardlady appears to be the only name in the ad itself with no other name or business entity listed. I do in fact search both names and business entities when available but that was not the case in her recent posted advertisements.

I was however able to use the link with her site which gave out her email address: [email protected] (and that did bring results) but without going through that extra step, this thread did not show in a search.

If I did not know ahead of time that this thread existed, I might have stopped searching when Spokanelizardlady did not bring results.
 
It's true and I admit it, I am not technologically savvy. It only occurred to me today, after trying the search, that if someone would *want* to avoid a BOI search of themselves (and I do not know if this happened here) all they would have to do is make their name long enough so that the search function would not work, and not include any other identifier.

Here is the error message I received on my search:

' Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : spokanelizardlady '

Amen to that. Thats the ONE huge issue i have with this forum, ( and all others like it) Is the horrendous search function. But dont get me wrong, because i LOVE this place. but the search is just not as good as it could be.

is there a way to implement Google's search into the site? i think that would be really awsome if rich could do that! i think it would help make things easier to locate as well!

Lucille, believe me, if anyone was searching for information on Wendy, they will find it with a little effort.
There many ways around the long name. If you do a search on the BOI and shorten the name to just “Spokane,” there's only eleven threads, two of which belong to Wendy. Most know to shorten the name.
You can always search member profiles then check their posts to find threads. Or you can simply type- Spokane lizard lady, in this thread and then all three words would show up under a search, if you typed them separately. Many creative ways to find threads. Of course, if someone doesn’t find someone they’re looking for, they will hopefully post an inquiry. I’m sure many will provide the threads. Of course, as Jim states, I have every one's posts categorized and sorted. So just ask me.

Ok, I have an update...

Pay-pal threw out her claim. Then she filed with the BBB (better Business Bureau) here in colorado stating that all 6 died and she wanted a full refund... Well the BBB threw out her claim also...

SO I think that she was really mad and so she left me a negative trader rating. So I decided to rate our transaction too. Then I went to the classifieds to look around and see whats for sale... Well guess what?

Wendy's new name here on Fauna is: CrazyCresties . I feel that she was trying to hide me rating her so I rated her on her new name... So just BEWARE of them/her...

Thanks Erik
 
So glad to hear that, Erik!! I figured it would be a pretty much open and shut case once they saw the evidence, but am glad to hear.

Dennis Thomas has taken care of the CrazyCresties persona, I don't think we will be seeing her under that name for anymore.....good catch, Erik. ;)
 
Instead of Crazy Cresties I think the name should have been Psycho Lady's Cresties. Just wait Erik,next you will probably hear from the FBI ,CIA and the ATF with reports from her. Maybe even NASA.
 
Don't feel bad Erik, she was on late Friday giving everyone negative trader ratings. I guess she doesn't have anything better to do other then give people a hard time. She should just accept that she messed up and leave it alone. Being vindictive only shows everyone that she is as bad as they say.
 
After reading all this I sure hope I didn't get ripped off. I purchased a bearded dragon from her last week. It came as promised. It is supposed to be from the Dachiu Bloodline and supposed to be a Georgia pastel Orange baby and a female at that. This is all knew to me owning bearded dragons and all. I just looked at her ad and bought one. Guess I should have done some research. Can anyone tell me if I got what I was supposed to if I send a pic? Any help would be greatly appreciaited. At this point I can't say anything bad about her. She always answered my emails ect.
 
I am new to this site but think that if this forum has a good rating system all of this is just a way for someone to vent his feeling's and is of little use
 
Dennis,
Some folks have nothing better to do here but trash folks in their idle time. Look at Timmy DeFrees .... he's got a couple of felony convictions himself, and as such is an admitted and proven thief. Like to think that people can learn from their mistakes, but here he is posting away about the past of others. So many threads nowadays are just piles of crap attracting the flies. The BOI just continues to sink.

Jim..Cmon man..Are you still defending this trash? Has Wendy changed? She is still scamming and lying after a long criminal career. Every time you try to take the focus off of her and her wrongdoings it only makes you look like the fool.
 
Thanks Jim,
Most of what I have posted here in this forum was posted just to yank your chain. I see it worked , now that I got you to "come" , I just need to figure out what it takes to get you to "sit" , "stay", "roll over" and "play dead" . Yes , I myself have a felony conviction , and it it for burglary and theft, that was in 1989. Big deal, I did the crime and paid the time. But thats all you know about it.Its not like I held the SWAT team at bay with a shot gun or was busted with a few 8 balls of ICE with intent to sell , or was involved with manufacturing fake ID cards. And for the record haven't been in any trouble since then. I don't believe that this thread is about Timmy D though. If you feel that one is needed Jimbo , be my guest and start one up.

Not to sidetrack this thread about Wendy but that is not entirely true. Didn't you just have an unfortunate stay in a uncomfortable place. Maybe last week.


Crow Wing County Jail had a not so flattering picture of you on there website. What were those charges again?

It's one thing to drag up someones past from a decade ago. I don't think that was fair for either Wendy or you. But it seems neither of you have changed much.
