    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....

I've done a search here on the BOI and have only found limited vague comments about "Chondro Attic". I'm wondering if anyone can vouch for them/him (David)? Have any information about them?

Looking to get some Crested Gecko's from their ad placed on KS.

Thanks,

I've done so...

The main reason I questioned him was his claims on the phone. He mentioned that Albino Retics weren't going to hold their value, and that he himself had purchased some from a "major Retic breeder" for $600. Well I'm friends with, or know pretty well most of the large Retic breeders in the U.S. and none of them are so stupid as to sell a snake for 30% of it's market value (which I mentioned). So interestingly even though I told him I'd call back in 10-15 minutes with an answer on a $500 order - he didn't take the the call (twice).

It just doens't make sense to me, and I think I'll take a wide pass on dealing with "Chondro Attic".

Now this confirms my info GenX and the L.A. Importer

I spoke to a guy I know the other day whom bought some GTP's from Chondro Attic, and so far they are going into the freezer, and he verifed they were purchased from an L.A. based importer by this Chondro Attic guy for $100 plus dollars and are dying like flies. And he is perplexed why my friend is upset with him. I am waiting for my friend to give me permission to post his info or email etc here so you can ask him of his experience. etc. Hope I am not violating any of the rules here.
 
Chondro Attic- GTP's dead and dying

OK, just rec'd a call back from my friend.
Richard Peterson - [email protected]

I sent him a link to post himself, but he is not PC savvy yet and was unable to, so he gave me permission to post this info on his behalf, in case anybody had ?'s about his experience with Chondro Attic.

HOPE THIS HELPS !!

This is sounding like the same guy from the threads, Gen X and the Gary rhodes inq.

The main reason I questioned him was his claims on the phone.

Randy, did he call you? If so, what name came up on the caller ID?

I am betting he only wants to communicate with you by phone. That's the experience I had.

Only his name came up as Gary Rhodes on my caller ID. He calls himself Chris Robinson. He made the same claim to me about albino retics.

Real smooth talker, who brags about things and makes lots of claims to boost himself your eyes.


Randy, As I told you on the phone last night, I thought this guy sounded familiar, but I couldn't quite place him...now I can:

It's not the only thread on him Jay. http://faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=113571#post113571

Read what Ben Seigal had to say about him Randy. You really need to read those two threads about him. One word should describe his activities.....SCAM!
 
AVOID

avoid at all costs
gary rhodes was recently released from jail, after serving about 1 year or so, not sure of exact time length-he was serving time for robbing a south florida importers warehouse-he has robbed a bunch of people down here-i have a friend with a pet store in gainesville that keeps giving the south florida people who have been ripped off updates on mr rhodes progress, but as far as i can tell he is calling him self chris something and works at pet paradise in gainesville-he is famous for operating under aliases--AVOID CONTACT WITH THIS PERSON AT ALL COSTS-he has ripped just about every major dealer in south florida and is a total theif-this guy will rob you--AVOID AT ALL COSTS-he has costs 10's of thousands of dollars worth of headaches for victims and stolen so many reptiles it is sickening-he is a danger to the reptile community.
 
chondro attic

O.K. heres the scoop on chondro attic I purchased a chondro from this girl all I can say is the truth.The snake I bought from her died I called and she replaced it. as far as dealing with gary the snakes I traded with him for all but one has died he says that he will replace them so I will give him that oppurtunity.Doug sellers posted what I had told him on the phone about the snakes goin into the freezer and thats true. Also whom he buys from that too is true.So If someone says that they will do something then I will give them face value.I personally do not wish to ruin chondro attics reputation she has done what she has said she would do.which is replace the dead reptile
 
still at it

other customers have animals die on them....... in 2-3 days and they get the blame that they kiiled them???????????????
 
Chondro Attic- is actually owned by Jennifer Garcia

I found out that Chondro Attic: is actually owned by Jennifer Garcia. so I wanted to make everybody aware of this. So she does not become victimized innocently by the actions of others.
 
is gary rhodes and this jennifer in business together though??????????
