Re: Could a ball python be sold as a normal but be het for something?
I've sold 100% hets as normals. You never know until you breed them to the right morph, which can be pretty difficult to figure out.

Re: Could a ball python be sold as a normal but be het for something?
When/ if I ever become a larger scale hobby breeder (I doubt I'd ever go further than that with it, I don't want to ruin it for myself) I would love to sell lots of different hets and double hets as normals and not tell anyone just for the amusement factor. Even more so with higher end recessive genes, just let a few hets go as normals. If they happen to stumble across its special gene at some point they're going to be stoked at the surprise. Maybe later down the line I'll tell the ppl if they're still in contact... maybe lol.

I should say that I will have 100% het Hypo's going next year that will be sold at normal price.
The reason being that I am still a relatively unknown and I cannot expect people to rely on my word alone since I don't have a huge collection and a name to protect by not being honest. So, expecting even a few dollars more is unreasonable in my position.
I would however tell the buyers that it was in fact 100% het for Hypo and they can do with that info what they will.
Unless I get a whack of females though it will mostly be males I sell so for all intents and purposes it will be a normal BP pet for someone so the normal price tag is not out of line. Well I may have to keep one male back to prove out Ivories as either Ivory het Hypo or Ivory Ghost.

No, you just breed it a few times to a 100% octuple het snake, duh.
