Long story short I picked up a proven breeder male ghost from what I thought was a legit breeder. Dealt with him in the past no problems.
The male did not breed any of the 5 females I had for him. Put in a male pied to stir him up. Came back later to find the male pied breeding the ghost. I figured it happens. So I probed the ghost and it was a female but she was really tense I thought i probed wrong. This morning the "male" proven breeder laid 1 egg and 2 slugs.
it was sold to me as a Proven breeder CH male. That the breeder had since it was a baby. But when I e-mailed him that the snake was a female he said the breeder he got it from sent him the wrong sex. And said I should be happy since females are worth more. But with my hets I would of made more if it was a male. Now those projects are behind a year. I am still out of a male ghost and wasted all the time trying to get a female to breed. Be sure to always check your snakes no matter who you get them from. Most good breeders would make it right, time to redo my ghost projects.
Good luck to everyone this season.
