Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

IMO, there's only so much she can do now.
There is absolutely NO "polishing the tarnish" off her name after the stunts she pulled.
It's not a case of ignorance or denial or overzealous keeping.
It's pretty clear she didn't give a crap about the animals if she's going to sell sick snakes.
It's even MORE clear she didn't give a crap about anyone else including people she called "friends".
The time for doing the "right thing" long passed when she listed snakes for sale that were obviously NOT healthy & carrying mites.
She can do the very BASIC of humanity at this point..which is accept responsibility and make fiduciary amends to her "friends" and customers.
She's ruined her reputation, she's neglected her animals, and their health, and in the course of her greed and ignorance, lost some good friends.
I don't know too many people who would stick up for someone that had so much evidence against them like her friends did.
Only once it got to a point they couldn't deny what was in front of their eyes, they STILL maintained that it was just a "mistake" and "she just didn't think/know better".
It took a LOT of BS for them to finally accept she really was NO friend and lied to them.
I dunno that goes much lower than "developing situational ethics" to me.

Don't get me wrong on ethics and morals I've mentioned. I think it's beyond that by now. I'm simply stating that if we all would use our God given morals and ethics ans common sense, this thread and the thousands like it would not exist

You know, I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt when this thread first surfaced, too, thinking she really did just get over her head with buying animals and trying to make her way in the business without being fully armed or prepared.
I obviously no longer think that is the case.
The way she handled two of her upset customers, her total lack of initiative about an urgent situation, and finding out (and her basically admitting) to trying to sell the sick jamp shocked whatever sympathy I had right out of me.
She has no ethics whatsoever and she lacks the spine to own up to her actions and acknowledge the severity of the problems she has caused and might still cause in the future.
She is scum, has no place in this hobby, and deserves no sympathy from anyone.
Anyone still giving her the benefit of the doubt should think long and hard about their own morals.

From the thread were she felt her collection had been compromised:

Mr Bayles,
Please save your excuses for court. This is not a matter up for debate. First of all, you did not disclose where you got the snake from. You keep changing the subject and trying to justify why you sold a sick snake and how its not your fault. The fact is, no one can tell a snake has a blood or neurological disorder unless you perform tests on it. So saying that it "looks" healthy is an invalid excuse. Please do not confuse the issues: You are not a victim but the offender. Y ou sold a sick snake as healthy and refuse to refund, not me. You have 24 pages of complaints against you on the Fauna Forums, not me. You will refuse to accept responsiblility, not me. These are the facts. Please prepare any and all paperwork for court if you do not meet our deadline. You have seven (7) days.
Regards,
Ryan and Ashley Caspillo "

Pot and kettle. It just doesn't cease to amaze me.
However, she is part of a very, very long line of shoddy "business" owners and I have been perusing the BOI (but never felt the need to post) since 2005 so I should not be surprised. I'm surprised that I am surprised.

I am sorry if I have hurt anyone, and I really hope that all the animals are fine and have no issues... I am still going to be testing my babies, but I think that's about it... Contrary to apparently a lot of ppl's belief, this wasn't a "get rich quick" thing for us... It was something that I thought would be fun to do and yea, I guess I got in a bit too quick... I guess after growing up the shitty way I did and being told I could never do shit made me want to try to 'prove that wrong', but I took it way too fast... And for that I'm sorry... Maybe some day later down the road I might be able to try again, the right way... But for now, I just want to get my babies tested and hope and make sure that I can finish raising them all to a long healthy life. I guess that's all I have... I wish you all the best.

Unfortunately this still does not exonerate you from everything you've done. I don't know you personally, but I have been watching this thread and been lurking in other threads and forums and it seems like you are still dodging what is being directly asked of you.
What is wanted is for you to contact EVERYONE you sold to and let them know of the potential danger in their collection and cover expenses that are caused as a result. I understand that money is tight everywhere, so at the very tiniest, least bit of progress, you should inform everyone who could have been affected by this. Still this won't make it all go away or get better, but it will show you are willing to take the blame for what YOU have done.

Oh please..
You seriously expect people to feel sorry for you after this??? You STILL won't take responsibility fully for your actions, now you are blaming your upbringing?
You prove people you are a good person by your actions, not because you buy a ton of snakes & they can have babies.
You need counselling as well, apparently.
