So, I visit another forum, and this guy comes on and talks about how his collection of ball pythons is growing. And he's bragging about all his hets.

He has a pair of het for Super Mojave (wouldn't that just be two Mojaves, I'm thinking?). Then he goes on to say that he has three het pastels, 4 cinnamon hets that are double het for spider and ivory. And he says that he got a great deal on all of these hets he has from a guy going out of business - just $20K!!!!

Um....dude - if you just spent $20K for a bunch of normal looking snakes that you believe are het for all those traits - you've been had!

The only recessive gene that he has listed is Albino. Even that would be suspect to me if they all came from the same source.

Kinda of makes you sad that people would take advantage of others that way - but also you wonder who would drop $20K on something that they obviously haven't properly researched.
