Misrepresenting animals

I am sick of seeing people misrepresenting their animals and selling them to people. Photos of snakes that you just know are not what they look like in real life. Here's an excellent example. Came across this on KS today.

Then check out his website

It's just ridiculous. There's no way they look like that. I just feel sorry for the poor sap who buys it expecting it to look like that.

How do you know his animals don't look like that? Ben's always been a stand up guy. I don't think those snakes look too good to be true :confuzd:

I feel sorry for people that don't know who the good guys and bad guys are. Ben is one of the good guys. I'd buy from him in a heart beat.

To me that snake looks like many of the fires I've seen.

Renick is supposed to be a great breeder, what the heck are you talking about man?

Stop being so darn skeptical, not everyone is out to stab you in the back.

I can understand the yellow looks a bit strong on the fire, but on the flip side, not all monitors are created equal and for that matter, not all cameras. It's very easy to set the wrong white balance, use yellow lighting, or have a computer display that has not been calibrated.

Ben is an upstanding guy, and I too would not hesitate to buy from him in a heart beat. His pictures of the pastel and fire's are probably the best ones he has. A fine pastel just screams neon yellow.

If you have any doubts in the future, instead of bashing a breeder on a forum he participates in, send him an email or call him. I'm sure he'd be willing to talk with you about any concerns.

Oh no he didnt :O

So since you are a fire expert :rolleyes: and those are not (according to you), can you explain to me what a fire is suppose to look like and what those really are??? :confused:

Not sure what the point of your thread is (if any) but I sure hope to find out.

Ben is a good guy and I would not hesitate to buy from him.

funny thread!:8:

Truthfully I can see where the original poster is coming from. The pics of the animals do have a tad bit much of yellow overtones to them. Nothing photoshop can't fix though...
