Hank: She also still has ads here for snakes for sale.

Not to mention I know she vended at the Austin Reptile Expo, and I'd have to look to see if she vended at San Antonio or Arlington. She intends on vending again if her statements elsewhere have any merit.

I haven't had much time to backtrack to verify facts, so please forgive me if I miss a minor detail or two. It's really hard to sort through the facts when there are so many contradicting statements made.

For example: She's claimed repeatedly she's never had any mites:

But I did find SEVERAL threads regarding mite infestations in her collection. During which time she had a NUMBER of new snakes, and snakes from other people's collections in and out.

If you do a search on Threads posted on other reptile forums under her s/n, you can see every month was a CONSTANT stream of acquiring snakes or "snake sitting". Some include pictures of cages in the background that are used for other snakes..which means: the snake was kept IN the room with the others.

There's absolutely NO basis at this point to think this collection is/was stable or properly quarantined.

Ashley, we've all told you based on Dr. Jacobson's MEDICAL RESEARCH that blood tests alone will NOT clear your snakes.

There's so many holes in your stories, I can't even keep track at this point..

I don't know what more can be said at this point, except, STOP SELLING SNAKES FOR AT LEAST A SYMPTOM/ILLNESS/DEATH- FREE YEAR.

To sell snakes under the statement that you have been properly quarantining IS A LIE. That I can say with a FACT.

As far as your collection having IBD, I CAN'T say that as a fact. However there's a test out there that indicates it DOES.

I CAN say I wouldn't buy a snake that's been anywhere near any of yours for all the money in the world right now.
