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.

Even if IBD wasn't a risk in her collection, shouldn't she shut down ANYWAY because of the mites?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

If I'm reading it right, there's been mites in her collection on and off since early 2009, and the mites are STILL a problem. Makes me wonder if they've been there all along.
I know mites are a biotch to get rid of, but there's NO excuse for this problem to be ongoing for that long.
If the snakes have mites, you shouldn't be dragging them out every other day for photos, and dragging them off to pet stores for "reptile education" http://www.redtailboa.net/forums/gia...burm-pics.html

I completely understand the anger & frustration on Adrya's part. She has been experiencing all of this firsthand in her own collection.
This is certainly NOT the first place all this was brought out, it's been mentioned several times over the last couple of years, and callously ignored, and business as usual...
I seriously doubt the selling/acquiring is over. I think it's a compulsion based on things I've read. I'm not doc, so it's just my opinion.
What a mess.

Thanks Rick you learn something new everyday.

Ashley has set her snake room tour video to private, one can only assume to hide the wealth of evidence it contained.

And that also shows and proves that she's GUILTY.

^^^Unfortunately due to her (lack) of actions and constant changing of her story, I fear all this thread really accomplished was to teach her to be careful of what she says and shows.

I feel the same. At one point, it's not enough to get her to change anything, but on the other hand, it's all right here as the title states: "Buyer Beware".
We may never know if she gets her act together. It's been like trying to break down a brick wall with one's fists.

Yep.
She may just be more selective about sharing every detail.
In any case, the purpose of this thread wasn't to teach HER anything:
Several people over the years had TRIED to talk to her, she just won't listen.
She prefers just to act like this thread doesn't even exist and carry on as usual elsewhere. Oh well, what can you do?
As long as the information is OUT there, and available, hopefully it'll protect others.

I have thought of that, also.
Regardless though, this thread will still be here and she can't do anything to fix what she's done.

If nothing else at least she won't be posting on Fauna for awhile and that is at least a start. We all have to start somewhere to keep people like Ashley from masking the reptile world look like it is full of a bunch of crazies. Also she demanded the guy she got the BCL from give her a refund and actually threatened to sue him for her refund and her collection. Should she refund all the people who have bought snakes from her? I think so if that is how she feels others should handle problems with her.

I completely agree, especially if their collections do end up getting infected with IBD because of her. I think they have the right to come back and prosecute her because of her sloppy, careless business. I feel she does not have any right to deny them that.
