I do believe Ron sold that one a few weeks ago only he wasn't touting the '25% het ghost'. tsk tsk

Sounds like 25% BS! I think with the drop in pastels people are getting creative LOL!!!!!!!!!!

I Dont think its right to use a small or any percentage less than a 100% het. as an enticement to sell a ball python. kind of shady to use it that way. it would be ok after the sale to mention that your ball python is 50% het. for something, so maybe they could try and prove that small percentage out sometime.


Raul, your female pastel is 50% het for albino and April, your female pastel is 50% het for albino. thats the way I think it should be done with 50% hets. after they have been paid for and your not trying to convince them to buy something.

What about people that are selling things like 50% het for lavendar albino females ... surely they shouldn't be sold as normal girls and then after the sale the seller says oh, by the way ... LOL

I know what you're saying ED, your post just seemed like you were against ALL possible hets. ;)

I don't see any problem with full disclosure...if for some reason the snakes were possible hets for some recessive gene I wanted to avoid, I would be very unhappy after the sale to find out I had some possible hets for that trait.

I know what you are saying...its silly to try and sell 25% or 12% het ball pythons...but I don't see anything wrong with advertising 50% possible hets, ESPECIALLY when you are talking about investing in some of the more rare, expensive recessive morphs like lav albino, caramels, etc...possible hets are a great way to raise some breeding stock AND have a great chance at producing some homozygous animals later on.
