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.

Sorry about that Rachel, I understand now.
I was reading backwards and read your post last. So it seemed she was inquiring about the animals that were confiscated recently.
Again sorry about the confusion!!

No problem! Here's where she mentioned trying to adopt those animals from LA, where it is specifically stated:
http://www.redtailboa.net/forums/gia...tml#post792714
No one with an already established collection would take on those animals unless they had another building of some sort, knowing what kind of filth they came from. I think the fact that it is a high profile case draws her in, which doesn't surprise me. When she was a constant presence on various forums, she lavished attention. If she somehow "rescued" some high profile bust animals, she would get that attention. That's the only reason I see her wanting those animals, many of which are large constrictors that probably were never handled.
According to Thomas, the one who alerted us, she HAS expressed in interest in the animals seized from the current bust, as well as the one last year. Through all of this, she doesn't seem to have learned her lesson about proper quarantine.

Wow just unbelievable, what in the world is running through that head of hers!
What a shame and what a huge liability she is to this community.
It's really tough to sum up all the feelings I have about this but most have been covered plenty by the members here on fauna.
Her actions are shocking and disgusting to say the least!!

I agree, as much as I would LOVE to help out animals, I have my own I need to watch out for.
I certainly would NOT consider adding MORE snakes if I had any indication mine had an illness, or if I was under obligation to pay for testing on my collection or someone who had snakes in my collection due to my carelessness.
She's also "lost" at least 2 snakes, including 1 that doesn't belong to her.

I just want to add - Dr. Jacobson's lab has confirmed, it has not received those any "tests" Ashley supposedly did (supposed to be sent to Dr. Jacobson in March, 2-3 wk wait for results..) My snake's liver biopsies were sent out to his lab today.
So, for whatever outcome, we'll see.

Also, if she claims Dr Jacobson's lab lost the samples, I want to hear why a stink was not raised over the cost of testing being refunded BY THE LAB, since you pay $100 per blood test and $250 per lover sample TO THE LAB in Fla. for testing, not to your vet. Vet costs associated with the procedures are in addition. So if her samples were lost and she was actually trying to get testing, WHERE was a stink about being refunded by the lab or getting a free test re-done? etc etc? I know I would throw a fit if the liver biopsies from my boas just 'got lost'.
I'd like to see paperwork, and have computer savvy people from this site check it for credibility. Because having tests "lost" months ago when so much depends on the results, then making no noise about it?? Would sound like a pretty thin lie to me.

Another person also pointed out that her business page, Casper Constrictors was closed exactly on April 10. Her tests were to be done at the first part of March, if I am not mistaken. The results were to take between 2-4wks.
Why would she have left it open for so long and then close it suddenly? Maybe I'm reading too much in, but it's all suspicious, IMO.

I'm the one who pointed out the dates on the website taken from Google Cache. The entire website has been removed, and the date on the cache said it was last modified April 10th. The other pages were modified in a 2-4 week time frame, from the end of March into the first couple weeks of April.
I only took 4 screen shots, so that they won't be further modified in the future, with the first one being the date of April 10th, which I found listed on the Home page. The rest were more random. I took screen shots of the section with her mammal pets, the base page for the reptile collection (there are sub links to boas, pythons, etc on that) and the Available section.
If you want to see them please e-mail me at salldog77 at gmail.com . They are large format so they will get skewed in my Photobucket account. You may also see them via a Google search for "Casper Constrictors", but make sure to click on the part where it says "cache". The actual website is no longer available.
All those dates look suspicious to me, as well, since they fall within the time frame the test results should have arrived. There's also the added possibility that she will see this information and further modify the site, and the dates may change, which is why I took the screens.

Also, as for myself, I am not going to speculate on the test results until they are actually seen here.
The whole ordeal is highly suspicious, especially with the website being pulled like it was in that time frame, but we have nothing to go by until someone gets a hold of them. She's back pedaled and covered up information numerous times. She's never even posted the proof that the tests were paid for and samples were sent out, even to say, "Hey I'm doing something here." That information, as far as I can recall was posted here by another party other than Ashley.
Personally, I'm just appalled with Ashley's behavior and exhausted with this thread and the entire thing. I never expected it to go on this long and I never expected that the parties involved would have to jump through so many hoops to get the information they needed. I'm glad she is no longer a constant presence on so many forums I frequent, but it doesn't solve the real issue, and that is that she is willing to go under the table to get what she wants, is willing to hide what she doesn't want others to see, and people and animals have suffered in her care.

Last part should say that people have suffered because of her behavior and animals have suffered in her care. I'm way too tired.
