    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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 got it. Thanks!
 
It's known in Spokane that she both uses and sold out of her store front the prescription drug Oxycontin. If you read the news in Spokane there was for a while a pretty serious pharmacy robbery ring in Spokane that was finally broken up in the late summer. Wendy's store closing is following very closely behind these arrests. Connect the dots folks. Reptiles were not the main products or addictions at Reptile Addictions.
Unless you have a way to substantiate that, it's nothing more than hearsay from a guy with an admitted axe to grind....
 
Haven't seen anything new from him. The more he posts, the less people will believe a word he says. Shrug. Let him run his own reputation into the ditch. It won't hurt to have yet another one hang himself with his own rope. We've seen people come on here and continue to go on and on about someone who is soooo bad.. only to eventually find that they themselves are involved in something shady or have been posting nonsense.

I could post something that looks just like your "new information" email saying you dress in little girls dresses and suck your thumb. Would that be considered proof of something? Nope. Plus.. that's 3rd party quoting. You didn't see her, and the person didn't post it. So now I would totally expect for a new account to suddenly open the same as yours to post it going "It's totally true and he's the bestest person ever."

You should realize, you're only moving the focus of the thread from WEndy to yourself. Information about what Wendy has done, is doing is already posted. You haven't added new information, proof of wrongdoing or actually, anything of worth so far. Could we get the thread back on track?

You'll have no such luck in getting a one post wonder about me. I'm not going to post someone else's e-mail address on here. They've had enough problems with her themselves and they still have to deal with her shenanigans for now. The e-mail I posted is obviously from my e-mail inbox. I will say I do know there is some sort of new reptile store located in the vincinity of East Mansfield Ave and N. Pines Rd in the Spokane Valley, WA. To the best of my knowledge I believe it is being ran by Wendy Childs. If you caught the lastest and greatest info I posted you now know that she has been evicted from her previous "superstore" location.

And I have several email accounts that I could send myself an email from... so it would show up in my inbox.

I think its funny... how as soon as Harald tells you to knock it off because you have no new info... all of the sudden you have new info in the form of an email, but your not willing to post the author.

Its suspect at best. You've already stated you have an ax to grind with her... how do we know you didn't just send that to yourself. :shrug01:

I might have an axe to grind but I'm still honest.......geeze. I think I've been pretty candid throughout this forum.
 
LMAO - such cloak and dagger drama! Like a couple of little girls; you and your phantom email buddy & your heresay bullcrap. Pathetic and hilarious at the same time. Ho-hum.
 
So I can't say for sure this is Wendy's new store location, but the "Cheapest Feeders in Town Banner" is for sure identical at the very least to the one she hung at her previous two locations. Notice also the neon Zoo Med sign which a retail location obtains by buying a certain footage of Zoo Med product. She proudly boasted about being a "preferred" Zoo Med dealer on her website. There is a Craigslist posting in Spokane for this location that goes up daily but it is usually flagged down in a matter of minutes once it is up.

Dude we get it come on. This just retarded as you are accomplishing absolutely nothing at this point.
 
I guess trashing someone else makes everyone feel better about themselves...I guess we are all perfect and live perfect lives, wrong doing usually has some carma attached to it so what goes around comes around!!! I am sure she knows what she has done wrong, maybe she just don't want to face the real truth, but in time that black cloud will settle over her head but until then she will go on living her life the way she wants and nothing anyone says will really matter to her. The old saying...you learn by your mitakes! I guess she hasn't made enough of them yet! I bred and showed dogs for many years so I am very familliar with people saying some pretty horrible things but being a breeder you really need to keep your nose clean and definatey do the right thing because once you get placed on the black list, it is almost impossible to climb you way back out! I am new to reptiles, and you definately find out quick who not to deal with!!!

This is all true...but the point of this thread (and theoretically all the threads on the BOI) is not to convince Wendy of her wrongs...but to get the information out there for others to consider when deciding who to buy from. Yes, people will try to confront Wendy herself...but this is to allow others to see how she responds to such confrontation...not for the purpose of trying to convince Wendy of anything.

The constant bashing for nothing but the sake of bashing and laughing at someone you don't like.... :NoNo: ...not helpful for anyone.

If this is true, this is an example of a "useful post". For examples of "useless posts", please see you previous 50... can you please focus so the rest of us can follow this?
 
I've heard of the new store in Northtown, Rasmussen's Reptiles--is Wendy affiliated with them? I wonder if they're..."up to par" with her shop.

I've done a trade with Rasmussen's Reptiles. I don't believe he's affiliated with Wendy, but I do know he does great business with great animals.
 
...and has been pointed out a few times, this thread is not about Rasmussen's
 
Given every opportunity

Name is Mike Annunziato. I have been a herp hobbyist for about 20 years and have settled into Cresteds/Radiated Tortoises and certain Beardeds. I have dealt with Wendy Childs on several occasions but this has been the worst. The only responses I get are the ones warning me not to threaten her.

She recently took my info for several cresteds and some gecko diet. After three weeks I finally got the geckos but no food. Two of the three geckos were different than the ones I paid for and I have never received the food. She was apparently in a car accident but the time from that to shipping was still out of control since she had since posted more pics of animals for sale and was capable of getting around.

The money is trivial but the lack of character is astounding and I finally agree with the majority of posts on the site.

Wendy Childs, in my opinion, is a rip off artist.

Thanks and I'm sorry but I've given her many documented, and still retained, opportunities to refund money for wrong geckos and food that never shipped.

Mike
 
im sorry you got ripped off by her Mike, could you post emails/texts to prove your case against her?
 
Reptile add

Tyler, it's more of a lack of response to texts I've sent asking for explanations, the actual food, etc. Every week or so I would send a text asking if the food was coming, the geckos were wrong or that I hadn't ordered food from my usual supplier and was screwed because I believed she had sent it. I either received no response or a threatening one if the tone of my text was strong enough. One normal response was/is "I don't know what you're talking about". At that point I'd forward the previous text I had sent so she knew I was not blowing smoke. I still have texts back and forth plus sent PM's but unless there's a need I won't waste everyone's time re-stating what's been posted to date.

I merely wanted to put my two cents in based on my dealings with her. Overall I would say 95% of the people I buy from and sell to have been great to work with and I probably do 7-10 transactions per month when the weather is okay to ship.
