Should I be upset?

I believe that karam has a way of squaring things up in the long run, and I wouldn't want that one biting me later.

But maybe that's just me. :confuzd:

You make a good point if I got the female then who is fumming cause they got the male insteed. Or even worse they might not know. I would most certinaly (sp) get in touch with the breeder. I mean I would want some one to do that to me if I was the breeder.

I agree Adam! The first thing I did was contact the breeder, but I haven't heard back from him. This was a trade deal, and I know he doesn't have any more males left, but we'll see what happens.

Hrmmm, don't have much to add. But I hope it turns out to be a win:win type of thing :)

Evan that is very nice to know that you were honest and tried to make contact with the seller on his mistake. I think most would keep hush hush about a mistake that happened in their favor (sorta like finding a purse with a hundred bucks in it...what do you do? turn it in or keep it?)

As Adam said...Karma...you will have a lot of good in the end.

I think back a few months to when I got him in, and I don't recall verifying the sex when "he" arrived. I was a little baffled, and thought "maybe I'm just too tired, I'll try again in the morning". So I wake up and try again, nothing. I even probed "him" to verify my findings even though popping a 400 gram ball isn't that tough...4 scales. I don't know if I should be upset or not. "He" may have bred late this season, but I wasn't counting on it, and now I have a jump on producing some super mojaves, so I think I'm OK with it. I definitely would be mad if I wanted a female and got a male. I guess I have to get a male now though, which I think I'm OK with too (any excuse to get more balls is a good excuse right!! :D). So what do you all think about my predicament?

It must be something in the air because last night I checked on all of my snakes to make sure none were like my butter was and decided to sex a pastel I got back in June. I never sexed it when it arrived since I bought a male and thought nothing of it. Talk about a nice surprise. It probes and pops female.:carrot:



I wouldn't be upset about the mojave. It's very rare that you get a female instead of a male. It's usually the other way around.:D Sounds like you got a great deal on "him" but if you decide to let him go, I know of a female pastel that might want to meet him.:D

I wonder if we got the animals from the same breeder. LOL. I'd hate for him to open up his email today and find out he sold 2 different male morphs to 2 different people that turned out to be female.:O

LOL Yeah, he would probably rethink the method he uses to sex.

Well, the breeder just got back to me and apologized for the mix-up. He's still fine with the trade, so we're going to keep her! I'm stoked to have another girl around, and I still have plenty of time to plan for her breeding future. Sheesh, now what do I do with these extra breedable females this season.....:D
