so has ralph spilled the beans yet?

I'm with mykee on this one.

"Secret", "Classified" clutches and not relaying what makes up a snake genetically is just marketing.

I know if I produced the flatline, and was the first to do it, I'd have pics and ingredients all over the net. This hobby has advanced to the great state it is through the sharing of information, not hiding it.

Um if you were as big as some one like Ralph with a 5k+ a month power bill and all of the expenses that go with taking care of a big facility and tons of snakes, you would keep secrets too. Otherwise that unique animal that took you years to make would be done by more people and bring your profits way down super fast. It is a marketing strategy. He has bills that have to be paid. If no one knows what the genetic ingredients of a special snake are, no one else can make it. Once every one else knows what it is and they start making them all over the place, he loses money.

If you didn't keep those type of secrets for as long as you could it would be pretty silly. Might as well just hand money out to people or just give away your snakes for free.

I agree. It not like snakes are the only buisness in the world that does it.. Think of the car company's. they show you concept pics then magizine pics and you never get to drive it for ages.. The new camaro was showed off in 2001 and then 9 YEARS later available.

It's a buisness, and for these big guys it is THERE buisness not just a hobby like most of us. There bread and milk comes from it! There is nothing wrong with getting some people excited about a amazing snake.

If he posted that video with what it takes to make it right before breading seson, how many of you all would be trying to make it by right now... Then bamm, there goes his project...

Think he would even try to make something great after that happens every time??
