Last Saturday at the Washington Reptile Expo on April 4, 2026, we had a serious incident at our booth.
During a busy period, another vendor approached our booth and initiated a verbal confrontation in front of customers. During that interaction, we personally observed multiple 3D printed items being taken from our display by her without payment, despite her being asked to put them back. There were also other witnesses present. The situation escalated to the point that the show organizer told her to leave our booth.
Following the incident, a number of items were missing. Based on our inventory, sales, and what was observed being taken, we estimate approximately $175 worth of products are unaccounted for. These items include magnetic mushroom ledges and small magnetic animal pieces (examples pictured).
We have contacted the individual involved, who operates under the name “Dragon Lady Creations” and goes by Nina, and requested return of the items, but have not received a response. She is a vendor at many reptile expos in the PNW. A police report has been filed.
If you witnessed the incident or have relevant information, please contact us directly.
We are sharing this to document what occurred and to protect our work and inventory going forward.
