Mine worst one was at my local reptile show.

Guy comes up and is looking over all my ball pythons, morph babies and a few normal adults. He looks up and asks me if I have any Diamonds or Jungles. Well, Diamond isn't a real familiar ball python term, but Jungle sure is. So, I picked up this nice jungle pattern normal female I have and showed it to him. He takes the container and looks her over. He asks if I am sure it's Jungle. I tell him I can't say if she's genetic Jungle, since at 900 grams she's never been bred, but she has the Jungle look to her.

He looks at me and says, "I thought all Jungle Carpets were genetic." Now, aside from the fact that all my containers were clearly labeled BALL pythons. How on earth anyone could think a ball python and a carpet look anything alike is beyond me. I told him that she was not a carpet, she was a ball python. He looked at me, looked down at the snake, looked back at me and says, "Oh. Well I know Carpets come in all kinds of morphs, so I thought you knew what I meant." Ok, so you can't tell a Carpet python, which you are trying to buy, from a ball python, and I am the stupid one?
