Ashley Caspillo-SakaraGT4/Sakara *Possible Buyer Beware!*

There you go!

Oh and in the link you posted, I had forgotten HOW much I trusted Ashley. Wow, it hurts to see that. But the good thing to see is more PICS of the snake room! (now watch the links will all break)

She stays out of the reptile hobby and off of the forums for a couple of years. Then she decides to make a comeback and get back into boas again.

How would you guys feel about that?

Ahhh, but she didn't. She chose ignore what has been said thus far, and even if she destroyed all of them and burned all of her equipment NOW, the obvious character flaws have been shown to be present, and would likely still exist.

Without good character, one isn't to be trusted.

I wanted to at first, based on the advice of my vet that the babies were fine, but pulled them once others recommended it was not safe. I then euthanized everything in my collection, including my pets. I have not had anything for 2 years. Ashley is refusing to admit there is a problem, continuing to buy and sell animals, and continuing to keep and breed despite KNOWN VIRUSES residing in her collection.

Bringing many snakes into a collection in a short time with no, or improper quarantine.

Posting ads to try and sell babies after a dreadful disease was diagnosed in her collection.

Only taking down the ads after being admonished by the community.

I agree with you! She can't be trusted.

The two that I decided to hang onto at first, were euthanized just a couple months after the rest. It has been 2 years since then and I have nothing left from that time period. Feel free to read the last few posts of my BOI thread and the thread in the ball python forums.

If this wasn't directed at me, then I apologize. My response would be that I still would not buy from or support anyone else buying from Ashley. Especially not with Boas and the suspect being IBD, knowing that boas can harbor it asymptomatically for who knows how long.

My apologies, I was under the impression that you kept a one eyed female ball python as a pet, as well as a male called, "Spoon". I know Spoon is no longer with you, but what about the female?

That "trust" is why the 3 friends of mine that did what was necessary when they found IBD present, still have my utmost respect and support when they decide/ed to try again later on. I have even bought from one of them since.

This is Ashley's thread. Lets keep it that way.

Kelli, I'd just like to thank you for bringing exactly the kind of snarky, passive-aggressive, off topic BS to this thread, that turns so many people off from the BOI.

Elizabeth, to see you trusted her so much just ticks me off at her. I've had that sort of "blind faith" and had it broken, so I know exactly how it feels. You feel like an idiot, and blame yourself. I hope you won't do that.

I hope you understand that people like this are "wolves in sheep's clothing" and you were not the only victim of someone with this type of covert aggressive personality.

As far as pics disappearing, that's NOT really an issue

For the sake of preserving yet more lies:






Oct. 17, when she claimed above to have 74 snakes in her collection. I counted approx. 63 bins.
As pointed out:
On Oct. 20 on the above link, she claims she had 50 odd snakes.
And most recently to Dr. Jacobson: 30+

Is she still selling? Are they dying? Or has she just lied to Dr. Jacobson again as to minimize the impact?
