Tequila ball

that dose not mean someone didnt pass them off as overglorified normals...

Nor does it mean, as you imply, that someone DID pass them off as overglorified normals.

In fact, having actually read the ad, I see that Ken has SPECIFICALLY stated that he has no clue what is up but that there might be something going on.

How many dinker projects started out just this way?

Baker, how's that normal looking SPECIAL working out for you in your brand new home?

Lighten up people, he has NOT misrepresented anything.

Geez I did want to open a can of worms...... All I was asking was th sig. Of this animal if anyone knew.. Ken is a awsome guy and I go fox his shop every oncenina while ,I would go more often but it to far of a drive.....I just thought this was one of those morphs that are tricky to see with a untrained eye. If you don't know what your looking for... And if someone would explain it so I may see it also...I have several snakes from ken and will apologize for any misunderstanding

I'll tell you all this. Don't Buy Them...... I have a Trio and if they prove out next season them It's great if they don't the so be it. Look at Russo's het BEL, and Tom Baker's Special, and even Amir's Mocha. All were said to be Normals. I think the header is what gets you to look at the ad. Read the ad and then see he doesn't claim its anything other than a Ball Python. There are adults and sub adults and even a baby that appears to be a late 08 or early 09. So that there made me want to give it a chance. I think that only time will tell and everyone knows me I can't keep a secret so we will see what the next season or 2 bring us lol. As far as the name it was named after the breeders favorite drink as I was told.

see the key phrase used there is "potential new morph" potential means it might be and might not be so with that being said that would mean it is NOT proven yet.

as to Ken I'd buy from him any day of the week.

yes but just adding the word potential is misleading. If you honestly dont know the genetics then its a normal and it should not be sold for more than what a normal of that size would go for. Just my Opinion.

Based off this definition:

Having possibility, capability, or power.

I don't think potential is a misleading word for this ad. I wouldn't buy into them based off their stuck shed (c'mon a little warm water and 4-5 minutes tops to take it off, I don't care who you are that's a unacceptable for a for sale picture).

So I can take my dark female and sell her as a potential chocolate which I was told she was and then whomever buys her can sell her for a bunch of money and say shes a potential chocolate and that would be ok?? What I am getting at is if you got something and are trying to sell it as possibly something more than it is, then how hard is it to ask the breeder you got it from to show you the genetics? If he cannot then its a normal. Now if he said heres the parents this is what they did or here's some offspring of the animal in question and they are obviously not normal then fine. But he can't prove anything therefore asking $200 for a normal is ridiculous. Now if he came out ans said HEy I have this snake (or two i believe is what he has) they have some interesting coloration /pattern etc. They would make a good dinker project. that would be fine. But he had to add the tequila ball thing which someone new to the trade may seems is something new and end up getting ripped off. I have nothing against Ken I have gone to the store many times and they have some awesome stuff but this ad just rubs me the wrong way.
