    Help with terminology

    What's a screamer? I see people refer to a snake being a screamer. My thoughts are that it's an extraordinary example of that particular morph. Is that correct, and if so, wouldn't that be entirely subjective, since everyone has their own personal preferences as to what is an "ideal" example of a particular morph?

    Maybe just some marketing hype? I seem to see it in auctions on Kingsnake from time to time...

    Re: Help with terminology

    A screamer...

    Well, the term is most certainly overused, but think of it as a snake that is above-average in many ways...one that makes you go "HOLY CRAPSACK $&#$#$^#$@&$%" when you look at its picture.

    A screamer should make you do just that. If you're not uttering something audible at a snake listed as a screamer, pass it by.

    That's just my $.02...I've seen some screamers, as well as some yellers...in addition to a few talkers, on top of some whisperers...

    When you feel it, you feel it!!!!

    OK, I've got it now! Kind of like your blood in your avatar is a screamer!

    Adam,

    Should I send you the bill for replacing my keyboard? I just spit diet coke all over it! LOL (or you can just deduct it from the price of one of the babies I hope to get from you! )

    You know Adam, I figured it would be you to say something like that! LMAO

    My hubby also laughed hard at that one, his initial thought was the same as yours! Hehehe. But I have to admit, I was thinking the same thing...
