Have you even read the first post on this thread? lol
What I have seen:
*a necropsy on a BCL that died 2 months after purchase indicated IBD
*Same BCL housed with general collection in photos
*Chronic mite infestations
*crappy quarantine
*cycles of animals in and out of the collection
*several deaths that may or may not be IBD related
*Medical proof from actual research stating IBD can test "negative" in collections and STILL be present.
*a person continuing to sell/breed/acquire more animals despite obvious issues in the collection
*a "friend" refusing to acknowledge concerns from 2 people wanting answers
*fun-loving threads posted and joking while "friends" are literally biting their nails waiting for a sniffle from a snake
What I haven't seen:
*Ashley admitting ANY responsibility for her actions
*any further testing to clear the collection (other than the 2 snakes that died, and it was determined IBD tests were NOT performed)
*Any sort of remorse, apology or sincerity or intention to make amends on Ashley's part
That's what I see.
Now you and Ashley can blame me for bringing this to light.
I really don't care.
What's actually OUT THERE in black and white regarding Ashley's collection does not shed a good light.
Now..if there's actually
tests over the past 2 years that Dr. Jacobson has performed to clear ALL the snakes in the collection PLUS the 200+ snakes exposed to it (
and not just 2 or 3 snakes that died) then I'll be glad to open my mind to the possibility this is just an unjustified scare.
Until then, excuse me if I remain a bit more concerned.
