    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....

Bad Guy Ashley Caspillo trying to scam me

To be honest, none of this ever really surprised me. I started hating her when I found out that she physically beat the crap out of her dog, all whoever choking him with his own choke collar. If she could do that to an animal who looks to humans for love and social stability, I could see her doing much worse to her snakes......smdh
 
ashley is not my type, i have the same snake, and i dont need money.. i was getting nothing out of it... but time to finish my agenda

So you were getting "something" out of the lie. I understand about "white" lies and lies done in the course of duty to save oneself, but

In my opinion, lying to a friend and on a friend for one's own benefit is not an acceptable lie, because you could have slept in the car. You could have refused to lie, and took the consequences of being ethical....just saying...not judging.:shrug01:

Ashley...what can be said about her? I read the first story and it didn't leave any doubt in MY mind that she was shady. The OP and those that contributed to the BOI thread did an excellent job laying out all the facts. :thumbsup:
 
Cassidy I understand where you are coming from. Perhaps next time text Matt.

Some people say that a lie is a lie no matter what.
If I was an undercover DEA agent and I lied and said that I like drugs.....would that make me a liar? Or is it just part of my undercover work? Perhaps I just said it to save my own skin until I can get out of a bad situation. Totallity of the Circumstances.

I am with April. I for one am glad we have first hand knowledge that is quite the opposite of what ashley says she does.

My understanding, limited though it is, of undercover work is that you are infiltrating with the knowledge of your superiors on a course whose goal is to catch the bad guys.

Somehow, I just don't think that happened here.

He could have told Matt that he was going to go along with ashley to see what else she would do or so he could get some tail or whatever the true truth is, but he didn't. He lied, then got busted and put out the story that he was 'just going along' fully intending on telling Matt that he had lied when it wouldn't inconvenience cassidy.

Having no dog in this fight, I don't care why he did it. Based on what's been said, he's not much different than mr. clark. Seems both will say whatever they need to in order to get what they want, then when they get caught, change the story in an attempt to get the benefit of the doubt.

Not passing the smell test out here.
 
i was not doing undercover work... i told ashley my full intention b4 i came... i told her i would help her if she took certain steps... and they were not taken.. then the dead snake happened ... this whole situation sucks and i have deleted ashley as i told others i would do if i found the BOI to be correct.. matt knows i am sorry for how it happend and i am quite certain he knows that my apology is sincere.. i have admitted my fault in public to the way this was approached... the situation cannot be changed how it happened..
 
Cassidy, where was Ashley when you told Matt the the snake was DOA?


As for Ashley, we once again have a damning thread that she is choosing not to respond to. Her husband and two other people have responded that have had recent direct contact with her, so I have no problem assuming she is well aware of the thread. At this point I have to agree with the previous calls to black list her as best we can. This last round of political action was far too close for comfort, and frankly, people with her continued defiance of ethical and moral practices have no place here. There is no positive benefit that can come from her being allowed to continue in the community IMO. All I can see is the potentially severe negative impact she will have on the hobby at a time when we can least afford it. To those that think they do not have "a dog in this fight" (to quote one), I respectfully disagree. Anyone involved in the exotic reptile hobby has a stake in this, from the single pet owner to the big name breeders, we all stand to lose from people that engage in these type of practices. I would propose that any site or forum owners take action against Ashley's accounts (banning/restriction as able), and members/general hobbyists on these sites increase awareness of these two threads within the guidelines of those sites. Those of you that do, please do so respectfully and professionally, a witch hunt will only weaken our position and the hobby as a whole.

Thanks for listening,

K. Probably should just avoid such situations in the future. If you find you can't, give 'em a heads up away from the target. lol. The way you did things isn't looking so good. I know you noticed already, just sayin.

I see that clarification is necessary.

I have no dog in the fight involving cassidy and ashley and Matt.
 
I just want to take a minute to say that I have know Cassidy a good 7-10 months now but from the time I have known him he has been nothing but a nice stand up guy, I heard from a friend who was with Ashley, Mike, Cassidy and everyone else, that Cassidy did nothing but say how great of a person Matt Martin and Brad Willoughby were, I was not talking to this person about this thread or really much of anything but he brought it up to me, which I think is very nice of him being that he was not promoting Matt or trying to get him sales but just saying how nice of a person he is.

I can say I was friends with Ashley and yes I have read that BOI and given that BOI I refused to do business with her but I would talk to her from time to time and Cassidy told me a few weeks before the show that he wanted to help her, get those tests she claims to have and show everyone, from what we knew, that she had a great healthy collection but as Cassidy said...she did not go with it all that well, I too got on her saying its not a select few its probably hundreds who see it and hate her for it and she needs to make it right and fight it and not just ignore that thread instead of going "screw the BOI its a joke" and now its going to be near impossible for her to really sell much, with the good friends she had left seeing this and yes lying is wrong but I do not feel Cassidy is at fault at all in this and from what I have seen he has never wronged anyone, what would he have to gain in the lie? Not a thing.

Another note I want to bring in is that Ryan Caspillo or rc625 is Ashley's husband, even if Ashley cut that snake up with a knife for kicks he would say it is 100% Cassidy or even Matts fault!

That is what I have on this and I think this whole situation needs to get resolved on a personal matter.

Thanks.
 
And to the person who left me bad karma along with this silly message " I know you have some sort of vendetta against her for whatever reason, but please provide proof of accusations like that."
I have provided proof for every accusation I've made.
 
Sorry to hear about the troubles Matt, at least you found out sooner than later what was going on. Too bad there's people with zero integrity and honesty in this hobby. They don't contribute positively in any way.

As for Ashley, seems she has trouble keeping snakes alive. Too bad there's no way to completely blacklist her(and people like her) from our community. She was pretty active on FB reptile auctions back in January, but haven't seen here there in a while.

I couldn't of wrote it better myself. I share this opinion.
