    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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

Yes, Crystal posted pics of the Bolivian that she wants to keep. NO, it has NOT left my house. I can prove that if necessary.
 
I'm not even going to ASK how on Earth you can prove that snake hasn't left your house.
For all we know ALL your snakes have left your house..lol Or died. There's no way to know, because you lied about so much already.

I find it pathetic you are willing to "prove" that snake is still at your house, but NOT to be willing/able to PROVE you've not lied AGAIN about tests you claimed to have done.

Where are the copies of the IBD tests/path reports you've claimed to have had done on the other snakes?
 
So I'm assuming from David's post this acquisition is recent?

I'm at the point where I feel Ashley is just laughing about all of this.

She thinks it's funny to see us all asking the same questions.
It's just a big joke to her and her buddies about how everyone is "making a big deal out of nothing".
She hasn't taken one thing seriously since this began back in Nov. 09 and she doesn't appear to be now, or she'd be making an effort to come clean and answer questions.

The fact that Crystal would brag about even considering getting a snake from Ashley after all of the parasites, suspected IBD, lies, and shoddy business practices, makes it APPEAR that she condones the sort of "Bad Guy" behavior Ashley has exhibited.

To me it screams neither one of them give a FIG about anything pertaining to the seriousness of this situation.

Why on Earth would Ashley even CONSIDER letting ANY snakes be termed as "picked out" when she ethically shouldn't be selling/giving ANY away for at least another year??

That pretty much confirms her intentions on proceeding with projects DESPITE what her husband has stated about only keeping the animals as pets.
 
It almost seems as if Ashley is playing games by popping in to make these posts...log-off....and not answer any of the simple questions that have been asked.

You are popping in the thread when your friends name gets brought up. Well....I don't thinks its to smart for anybody to be playing with your animals until some testing has been done...then go home to their own collection. I don't understand why your friends would jeopardize their own animals.:shrug01:

It's too bad that you didn't go about this situation in a better way. Now for LIFE....you will be negatively remembered in this hobby. In a few years when you want to try and come back...I highly doubt you will be welcomed in open arms. You think it was worth it Ash?
 
In all reality, all her friends are young, dumb herpers. People she can either manipulate into trusting her or people who are too ignorant/inexperienced to know the difference.

A few years? I bet she shows up at NARBC in Arlington.

Well she has some brass balls to show up at a convention after all this, and I'm not talking about the possibility of her getting into an altercation, but the shame involved. She has no shame if she wants to show her face to people who know through this thread that they might have been wronged by her if she hadn't been called out.
 
I have not been terribly impressed with anything that any of her friends have said so far regarding their knowledge of husbandry or pathology.

As far as I'm concerned, Ashely should not reply to this thread again unless it's to answer the questions regarding path reports and Phoenix. Anything less is an indirect admission of guilt and malice.

There's enough people here to pass the word along if she tried to sell animals there.

People showing up with sickly animals is exactly why I pretty much quit going to shows. Scared to death I'll bring something home one day.

I don't think she'll show up with any animals to sell. I do think it's a possibility that she'll go to acquire more though.

Who knows? I hope I'm wrong.
 
But who would sell to her?

Let's not forget that this hobby is in so much trouble because of the vendors who have, do and will sell to anyone to make a buck. People who have no business with large boids or less than savory husbandry practices.

I mean, really, who NEEDS 70 boids? Who NEEDS 70 cats? No one can adequately care of those numbers of animals without a workforce of skilled employees. And no one can QT in a private facility (read: a house) with 70+ snakes.

A la the IBD's etiology maybe?

This is getting sort of off topic, but I DO think it is entirely possible for someone who SOLELY relies on their reptile keeping and breeding, and doesn't have another job, to properly care for that many snakes. It's POSSIBLE. It isn't EASY, but possible.

Obviously not in this case.
 
Now, watch those pictures disappear! I wonder why the Jampea wasn't there? Probably because he was visibly ill! She had him for sale just 13 days after the dates on those pictures.
