which hypo do you like?

#2 will be a better looking adult. I don't know who told you that Hypos lose color as they age, but they were wrong. They do change color almost their entire life, but they surely don't lose it.

what do i do, i already told the man i was sending him the check, i asked for his adress and everyting.

Then why did you ask our opinion?

Here's an example - I spoke to another forum member about a snake that I want to purchase from them. They quoted me a price, but told me to go to the show today to see if I found something I liked better. I found the same morph at almost the same quality at the show for $100 less. I say almost the same, because I know this was a broker, and I know I won't have any customer service after the sale.

Did I come home with it? Nope - I decided I'd rather purchase from this member and support someone that I know, rather than someone that I didn't. And the animal that I chose from this member is stunning and I can't wait to bring him home. I knew that I could have easily purchased the animal at the show today and been very happy with him, but I just am just as happy - wait, no - I'm happier to pay more for the animal that I really wanted. And I believe that quality is more than just the snake - it's also what you get after the sale and how that breeder keeps your animal while it's still in their care.

I also know that this member is also as picky as I am when it comes to their selective breeding.

You're young - and because you are young, you are impulsive and want things right now, rather than taking your time to really search for an ideal animal. It could take MONTHS (and in my case on some of my animals, a year or two) to search and find the animal that meets your expectations.

But, as someone else said, people here have long memories, if you hope to breed and produce animals for sale, I personally would not look to you to purchase an animal, because you seem more fixated on the price and wanting everything RIGHT NOW rather than quality. If you'll take shortcuts on the animal, I have to wonder what else you'll take shortcuts on (feeding, housing, heat regulation, veterinary care, etc).

With that said - I wouldn't pick either one of them.

I have a question.Where are your parents? Whether you like it or not you are unable to enter into a legal contract to buy any reptiles.So unless you are lying to us about all these "transactions" you are making here left and right.You are pretending your older while talking to these people.Which is it?

If you haven't sent the check, call him and say you're very sorry but you've changed your mind. You are under no obligation to buy anything from anyone.

[Maurice Tebele]

Maurice, your threads are often the same and lots of people have given you good advice that you seem to ignore. You should re-read some of the threads you've started and absorb what people have said. Why would you ask advice and continue to ignore it?

your right, i am going to get the hypo(i already sead yes)from the man. but i wont breed him i will just keep him as a pet. i am going to save up my alounace and get the nicest example i can fund.i gess it fianly sunk in, thanks guys.

Oddly enough, and i don't know why i get this feeling, but i feel you really haven't learned anything and it will take losing either an animal because you bought a cheap example with a RI, or losing a thousand dollars because the cheap "breedable het lavender albino female" you bought is a normal male.

Hopefully next time you post it wont be because you want our opinion on something, but because you honestly need our help.

Its obvious you are still ignoring everything said because your reply has nothing to do with what David said.

And the grammar in your responses is killing me. I'm sorry but if you plan on becoming a breeder and hope to sell any offspring your snakes produce, you will not get much business with the way you are posting and the quality of snakes you are looking to purchase. When I first got here I may have been like you, wanting to get my hands on as many morphs as possible, no matter what their quality. Then I spent time on these boards and talked with so many wonderful people and I realized that if I want to take any pride in my collection, whether I'm just keeping them as pets or for breeding, then I will need to not only strive to obtain the best examples I can find of any morph (even hets!) but to also heed the advice of these wonderful people. You are young and even if you've been keeping ball pythons since you were in diapers, there are those on this forum with years and years of experience and want to share that experience with you so that you may become a good keeper/breeder. These people do not just post gibberish because they feel like it. They are actually trying to help you. If you plan to go anywhere as a breeder, I would listen to their advice.

Hi,

Well to be fair his signature does say;

I am sorry in advance for the spelling above

So that indicates it is a known problem and doesn't need to be re-hashed.
