    My first bite! (GRAPHIC) / Is this a Morph?

    So I was at Petco earlier and decided to take at a BP that looked very interesting. The woman who opened the cage kind of poked at it once and it flinched back, then she picked it up and handed it to me. I gently tried relaxing its body so I could check out the pattern. The employee (rather tall, hefty woman) said "OH JUST WRAP HIM AROUND YOUR WRIST THAT'S HOW YOU CAN LOOK AT HIM" and before I had a chance to protest she was wrestling the little hatchling out of my hands and tugging against his will to stretch him out. Well, he didn't like that very much and decided that I was to blame (fair enough) and from her hands took a big lunge out at me and nailed my hand. I giggled and the woman frightfully tossed the snake back in the tank and slapped shut the lid. Then she goes "SORRY ABOUT THAT, IT'S JUST DEFENSIVE, HE HAS TO GO BACK IN THE CAGE NOW BECAUSE WE DON'T LIKE TO STRESS THE ANIMALS OUT HERE." My business was done there and I left pretty annoyed that I didn't get to inspect the snake further and take pics outside of the tank.

    Now that you've read the story, please tell me if you think that's a poor quality morph or a dinker. Interestingly, when she lifted the hide this guy was snuggled up with a poor quality pastel (first time seeing a morph at my local Petco) and now I'm even more intrigued by this guy. Could it be a crappy woma or enchi? The banding and reduction was screaming genetic to me.




    ID / is this a worthy dinker / THE ASSAILANT?

    Look like normals to me too.

    I'd be livid if an employee acted that way with me. If I want to look at a snake my own way (ie the right way: not using it as a bracelet) than don't grab it out of my hands (of a potential customer)!

    Quick, amputate that hand, then go give dinkus at petco a lobotomy.

    If you really want to have fun at a Petco, make them look for a disinfectant.

    Neither one of them are morphs. If the poor quality pastel you speak of is in the pic, it's also a normal..
