    Personal Introduction from Chris at Rare Pythons

    hi everyone!

    Judy was kind enough to let me share in some conversation on the forums so I figured I'd start with an intro. I mainly breed ball pythons, mice, rats, soft furs, and all that jazz. I've never really gotten into other reptiles, and originally got into BP's for the money, but I've really gotten into the hobby and truly enjoy them.

    I also have a Fennec Fox named Yoshi and am in the Niagara Falls, NY area.


    I've been attacked several times on BOI at Fauna, so since it didn't seem like an open/friendly environment I figured I'd pop in and say Hi here.

    Anyways...take care!

    Chris

    You were told you were misrepresenting animals and that you should fix the problems that you were being told about. You tried to play ignorant of the fact, and you were called out on it.

    Ok, I know what a wolf in sheep's clothing looks like but what do you call a jellyfish in a chordate suit?

    Here's the thread in question: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...d.php?t=123731

    While some of us were a bit blunt, you were in no way "attacked." In fact, I asked for pics.

    People selling off overpriced freshly WC normals as morphs usually do get bitten over there. Especially when you stick your head in the sand and refuse to answer justified questions.

    Lots of the folks over there are here as well. The internet really isn't such a huge place.

    But for what it's worth, welcome.

    I did fix the problem. I removed the animals in question as soon as I posted pics and that what I was told they were not Desert Ghosts. I bought out Millenium Morphs from Adam/Mike, and they told me the animals were Desert Ghosts worth $5,000 each. They also told me the Red Paradigm was a special, and a few others. As soon as it came to my attention that they were just light normals I took them down immediately.

    I didn't stick my head in the sand. When questioned about the animals I said..ok let me post video/pics and if everyone says they aren't Ghosts I'll remove them...which I did. I have over 100 posts basically answering all BOI questions and politely refuting outright claims of fraud which were unjustified.

    I do also feel I was attacked on the BOI over the 200 pages worth of threads. I had people even take personal shots at my father's appearance in one of the responses. I wasn't referring to being attacked b/c of the Ghost not being a Ghost issue...that's fine and a legitimate concern. I'm referring to the posts saying things like *F this guy and such that I reported for being vulgar and out of place in the classifieds.

    thank you for the welcome

    pasted from your site:

    This juvenile is a possible het pied female. She has the 'possible' het pied markers. As a matter of practice we will NOT EVER sell animals listed as 'TRUE' hets, as we never want to have our reputation questioned over such an issue. As such all of our hets are ONLY listed as possible. She is eating well on small mice and should gain weight quickly.
    seems kind of fishy to me


    oh yea werent you a member here before claiming to be doing some genetics work

    Hope you didn't pay that for them, since they look like light normals to me. For your own reference, compare the animals you were calling Desert Ghosts to this animal that IS a Desert Ghost:



    You should be able to clearly see the difference.

    Lovely animal!

    now back on topic...

    How old are you, to buy out a business..yet do no research on the morphs?
