: You know, I always end up wishing I hadn't posted something when I do it this tired. But, I was just looking at the Python and Boa ads and it's out of control! How hard is it to just find a normal pair of ball pythons now a days. The normal ones should be getting the $4000 price tags because I see a lot more albino balls for sale then I do normal ones.

: I mean, people are grabbing at straws on there. Everything is a SCREAMER! People are selling things like "Busy balls", "Banded balls", "fancy balls", "broken striped", half striped, half double striped and half broken double no striped triple het balls. None of this stuff is proven genetic!

: Then to top it all off, I click on the picture expecting something different and it's just another ball python that maybe if you half shut your eyes and turn down the lights real low you can kinda see what they're talking about. Most of them I've walked by at shows before and never gave a second look to.

: It's not just the ball pythons either, the Boas are just as bad! I just hope and pray that Elaphe doesn't get that bad. One day all that stuffs going to be a dime a dozen and albino pied balls will be down to $40. That's when I'll be selling my pure 100% het for nothing pythons at $20,000 each.

: Maybe I should learn from this and start selling all of my snakes as het for something. Baby corn snakes, het for adult. Adult ratsnakes het for old. Snake eggs het for hatchling. 66% poss het snakes het for maybe being het.

: Okay I better wrap this up before you start thinking I'm crazy, it's not too late is it?

: Thanks for reading,

Hi Adam,
