Sunset ball pythons

Or if someone bought a m and a f at the same time. Then there might be a story.

Yes, but one person would have to have two if that is the case and I really doubt that breeders would go to a random pet store and buy two normal looking animals. And I also doubt that a breeder would buy a couple normal ball pythons from some random person off an internet site such as Kijiji or craig's list.

Not really I have bought 1 100% het clown bred that to my normal saved the 66% possible females but I never finished I ended up trading the project to my buddy and got a few clown this season but alot more normals

It's a well known story. Of course the buyers didn't know because they were sold as normals.

I've heard occasional talk for years of smaller breeders wanting to go to that area and buy every normal they can find off craigslist or in the pet stores.

It's highly unlikely that they will pop up. No way of knowing which were hets. Also you have to remember a lot of normal BPs are purchased on impulse as pets. I would guess these poor creatures won't even make it to adults.

One other reason they may never surface is it is unlikely that anyone investing in a Sunset project, would bother pairing their $25,000 to $35,000 animal to a PetSmart Normal. They would likely pair a known het to known het in hopes of producing a visual, and then start putting the visual with other morphs.

But someone could breed a male sunset to a normal female to make more hets, and if that female was one of those missing hets, pop out sunsets. What a day that would be, seeing sunsets popping out of eggs in the incubator!

It's one of those really farfetched possibilities, but it's not impossible either. We all know how snakes can change hands until a person doesn't know the origins, especially with normals. I know a few people who have sold poss hets off as normals, shoot, I've done that myself. It's that tiny possibility that makes everything fun.

Given the handful of hets sold compared to the tens of thousand of normal around this area, I would think buying lottery ticket for that near billion jackpot would be a better investment.

................ so you're saying there's a chance!

Haha. Yes. But the idea heartens me a lot better than the thought that every one of those hets will disappear into poor homes and die an early death.

Also I don't think they were sold to that area but in groups to others around the country and even as first time pets you never know exactly where or who got those animals and as I know it's a super super small chance it can happen I'm just wondering how long lol
