ALL Ball Python breeders, STOP posting photos with no info about what you posted
Please stop this practice, if you are thinking of using this practice, please do not do so. It's not clever it is obnoxious. I mean this even when I have literally no interest in the animal posted, what makes things worse is then the breeder also seems to refuse to answer questions about the animal or even posts inside info that only one or two other people that are privy to the project will understand.
It's VERY poor and confusing advertising. State exactly what you are posting, if it is a teaser you are aiming for, explain the project and that there will be more info forthcoming once the animal or gene is figured out.

No, I'm serious I think it is actually counter productive advertising. Post a picture of a single animal, people are excited and want to know more about the animal and you go dark? LOL

Its not the breeders job to inform you what they used to make up their snakes. If you don't know what the morph was created with do the research yourself. I am not a breeder and I can not name half the morphs in the ball python world but I do still enjoy seeing what has been created. I do not require a description for every pic I see. You should just be happy the breeders take the time to share the pics at all instead of complaining about it.
Maybe you would enjoy the Genetic Wizard on World of Ball Pythons site.

They also have a morph list, it even has pictures.

It really grinds my gears when sellers don't post a photo in the ad! Heck I know I can't afford to buy the animal, but I do want to see what a super-X-Y-Z hypo looks like and drool over the eye candy... only to read "email me for pics".

Re: ALL Ball Python breeders, STOP posting photos with no info about what you posted
You guys are wrong but that's OK. Back in the age of the big breeders, they would introduce projects taking the hobby through it step by step often in a multiple page article in Reptiles magazine where the projected was highlighted. Now I have people in here arguing that it's sufficient to post just a photo nothing else...I mean the markets booming LOL. I'm telling you, IT'S POOR ADVERTISING, it's not even sufficent as a teaser
