The trappers from the tribes don't need to own computers ... they have access to them ... it's 2006 for petes sake. :rolleye2:

I know.. thats why I said "I know they can use internet without owning a computer, "

Can't a guy make a joke, that struck me as funny. (Think snake carrying a scale around africa looking for properly sized prey)

Adam, what percentage of base morphs do you think have been discovered already? It seems after the Ball market took off, there would have been a lot of Africans looking for anything interesting. If that's the case, it seems like their morph market might dry up in the next couple of years and people will focus mostly on the combos.

And here I thought this thread was a tribute to the Toto song :(

You may cut out my tongue for attempted humor ;)


Peace guys - let's have no territorial peeings.

Remember it is FRIDAY'S EVE!

So let me get this straight... they own the land, but the exporter/farmer that they work for controls the whole trade to the extent that they can't sell their snakes without his permission upon penalty?

I still don't see how I was so far off :P Except about who owned the land

Just so I fit your description of speculation pulled out of my butt. I picture a dictatorship where one rich Foreigner, European, or American, but probably white, Has a lockdown on the land, and keeps his armed men patrolling, and seizes all ball pythons captured with very little food/pay given to the impoverished villagers/natives. When a trapper finds a morph, sometimes they risk life and limb to sneak their family and the morph out of the area so that they can buy their freedom from under the oppressor.

Thats just the beginning of what can come out of me bum, but Im sure we could make it into a movie.

I'd phone you Bryan but my cell won't get service in this area

I'd drive over but some computer chip in my car's engine has gone wonky and the car refuses to move

I'd email you but my computer won't speak to another computer unless it feels it wants to and since it's smarter than I am......:(

I am NOT enslaved to my machines! Really I'm not!

sssshhhhhh.....please don't tell my microwave I said that...if it stops working...I'M SUNK!!!!!
