    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....
Be bigger than that impulse to stubbornly cling to the idea that she is a bad person and therefore does not deserve to win. You will win by being the bigger person(s). I think you two are good people, but I would be hesitant to deal with you if you don't do what is right here. I agree with Lucille in that I wouldn't want to take the risk that you will develop a bad opinion of me and act on pettiness rather than on what is right.

So, who gets to decide who's a bad person - the seller? Does everyone get a chance to vote? I guess we all should make up a list of who we won't give refunds to and post it on our TOS. Felons, democrats, blonds, bad people - you name it. (BTW - this was just being facetious). Heidi's already lost IMO. She's very reluctantly doing to the right thing if she refunds the money. Doing what's right shouldn't have to be dragged out of her.
 
You did not read my post closely enough. You are reiterating my point. The seller should not base a refund on the buyers character, as I stated in my post.

Actually my post was more in response to your inference that you can understand how they feel. Wendy's not winning if she gets her refund. It's more that Heidi is losing if she doesn't give it.
 
I really didn’t want to come back on here and play your game but I do need to correct you and tell you that NO the Rankin's you sent back are NOT up for sale yet, We will let you know when they are. I have them separated for 30 days. I can tell you right now I have lots of babies, I did say I had 4 left from the clutch and the others are my holdbacks that I was going to keep..
Now what are you doing being deceiving and having others email me? I am not stupid, I knew it was connected to you, I Googled the email and it came up in Spokane valley craigslist. LOL There you go again making stuff up and accusing me! This is slander you are lying.

Our decision is forthcoming, You can believe her lies if you want.
 
I did not have "others" email caliente, I had 1 person email. Pictures DONT LIE.

Thats nice that you had no intention of coming back here after Gary said he would post his decision based on everyones opinion. I guess that was a lie too.

I have posted pictures of all 7 of our rankins produced by 3 different breeders.I will only link 2 pictures here so I dont take up pages, feel free to go to the page to see them all. But you will notice, REAL RANKINS do NOT have jowels or beards, their neck does not protrude beyond their head, their head is more rounded than teardrop, and they spikes are very small and minimal in the head area.

Rosebud,

How is it I am not being honest about my connection with Aryan Nations? I have posted here and elsewhere many times that I dated a member, have tattooed multiple National Socialists (from many different groups), and that I drove Mr. Butler to the airport in a wheel chair with an oxygen tank............ those are the facts, and I dont deny them. HOWEVER how this is anyway relevant to animals is beyond me....

I DO NOT have any reported history of making purcases and later changing my mind as you state. I have ONE thread where I recieved animals dead on arrival. No one changed their mind. I wanted the animals, but I would have prered them be alive.


A refund WAS OFFERED, I returned the animals AS REQUESTED. A refund is long overdue.
 
I've just got to say that everyone has really done a great job with spelling.

I'm just going to read until Mr. Caliente gets done with the sulking and refunds the money.

I wouldn't buy from anyone who is a jerk like this about money. I guess I'm glad I'm not into many lizards.
 
People post screen shots of websites and pictures pretty regularly on here. If it's further proof of dishonest actions and is relevant to the discussion, then I think most would have no problem with it.
Good point.
The emails I recieved where forwarded to me with permission to post them.
Fair enough.

Puh. I started with this thread being very skeptical, given Wendy's atrocious rep. Her behavior is childish, petty, and full of vengeance. I still don't understand how she was identified and arrested if she just drove someone to the airport.

But then I think about Caliente. The fact that they refuse to refund her money, even though there is overwhelming support for it. They'd prefer to pocket $400 in exchange for a ruined reputation. And the irony is that on principle, they should feel obligated to offer a refund.

But what really bothers me, more so then the refund, is the fact that they still refuse to acknowledge that they have dishonest advertising. Mr. Caliente even went so far as to say that it was somebody else's obligation to prove that the line of rankin's was not unrelated to others in the US, and until then would continue to make these totally unreliable claims that are backed up by nothing.

Just imagine what the reptile market would be like if everyone did that. What if everyone was selling 75% diamond carpets as pure diamonds (UNRELATED TO ANYTHING IN THE US!)? We'd have nothing but undesirable, muddied up mutts floating around.

I feel like I'm burying this point into the ground, but I just can not believe that someone would have the arrogance to say that it was someone else's responsibility to disprove their claims, rather than their responsibility to prove them.

The real troubling thing is, they may actually have pure rankins, but nobody, not Caliente or anyone else, will ever really know.

That's why honesty backed by proof is so important with these rare animals that have been hybridized to death. Continued misrepresentation will only make everything worse.
 
If you want every little detail of my criminal history, feel free to PM me. I think people here are getting tired of hearing it.

I thought I did Prove the genetic bloodlines of these "Rankins". The trail stops with them. There isn't even any parent proof unless someone knows a guy named "Wilco" in the U.K. Thats who the actual importers -wholesaler bought them from.

But genetically technically all rankins are related. Lastly "All of the legally imported Rankins were descended from one female at the home of the reptile curator of the Frankfurt Zoo. you can google Rudolf Wicker - Frankfurt Zoo - Exotarium"

Unless someone knows a smuggler that will admit to bringing in new ones? Even the most famous smuggler with the tell all book says he didn't smuggle any Rankins:(
 
I find Heidis post disturbing. It is a tell all of what she intends to do. In her own words.

" the Rankin's you sent back are NOT up for sale yet, We will let you know when they are."

You already are reselling them, no need to notify me. Your comitting fraud.

they are in her care she has the right to do whatever she wants with these rankins. You are at the point of needing to just write off this entire transaction and chauk it up to experience on how you should conduct business with someone. apparently throwing your weight around is not the best way. I dont know maybe im wrong but i doubt it. :shrug01:

You're wrong.

The dragons were significantly not as described, it was Calientedragons job to prove the genetics, especially if they mark them with such a bold description.

Calientedragons refused to refund, even after offering one.
Wendy good luck with getting your money back, but I doubt you'll see one any time soon.

Calientedragons deserves this thread, and I hope they never sell dragons on this site again.

I agree. Well put, Zack.
