I saw the name Jason Amos and suddenly I have a hard time believing you now. Don't take this the wrong way. It's not you. It's Jason.
If you're talking to Jason, then that's your first problem. I've had all sorts of problems during a transaction for a lesser. He gave me a mite infested snake. Found out the hard way in my quarantine rack where the snake was housed by itself. I wrote a polite email stating to check his snakes for mites because the snake I bought from him had any. Jason denied having mites in his collection and said it was from my snakes.... Well, at the time, I only had one other snake and he was mite free and far away from the quarantine rack. This particular snake from Jason also happens to be my most picky eater. Jason stated he would eat rats weekly with no hesitation. This snake didn't eat the first month. My husbandry is spot on so I thought maybe the snake just needs time adjusting to a new home. Nope. This guy is the only snake in my collection who goes off feed every few months. Between the mites and picky eater status, Jason was telling me I was wrong. Eventually he just ignored my calls and emails. Even with simple advice emails, Jason would be rude. From my encounter with him, he seems more interested in his profit rather than snakes. I was a newbie at the time and he couldn't give sound advice without giving poor excuses. I've also heard in passing from a few people that Jason is a big liar... From my experience with him, I doubt his credibility as well....

Anyway, Bill has always emailed me promptly withot any problems. I was set to buy a fire het clown or some other het clown morph in March. We have been discussing this new transaction for at least 2-3 months prior. He suddenly dropped off the radar. It's very out of character for him not to answer calls, texts, emails, etc. It makes me think something drastic is happening in his personal life. Even a mutual friend who would speak to him weekly can't reach him.

Also, you mentioned the hets you bought from him. Do they shed clear? Clear shed is a trait of the ghost/hypo gene. I'm not sure if all hets show this, but some hets and all visuals will. And how many times have you bred these hets? If only once, then you need to keep trying. It can take up to 3 breedings for a visual to come out of a het to het breeding. It could be that you just had very bad odds. I read a thread last year about someone buying a group of hets. They didn't prove out for him the first 2-3 breedings so he sold them. Another guy tried them and didn't get any visuals so he sold them too. The third guy proved them out. Just goes to show a group of hets can take more than one season to prove.

I wish you luck on your ghost projects. Hope you can get papers for them and a visual soon.
