View Poll Results: Spider or pinstripe morph?

AM I the only one concerned about a breeder selling a snake as one morph when it is so obviously another? At a reptile show, no less?
There is no mistaking that as a Pinstripe, and any "breeder" who confuses them should stop breeding and selling snakes immediately.

Re: Spider or pinstripe? Help ID my new baby :)
Yeah, I've definitely been questioning the ethics of the guy I bought him from. I brought your point up with my BF and he seems to think the guy wasn't a breeder, he was just selling at the show. But I clearly remember him saying he had over 600 snakes when he started traveling with the show. Even if he wasn't a breeder, with that many critters one would think he would be able correctly identify what morphs HE was selling. I wish I had brushed up on morphs before the show so I could've pressed him for some answers, but I honestly wasn't planning on walking home with anything (go figure!!).

Good to see I'm not the only one!! Never bring your debit card to Repticon lol. I just picked up a 4x2x2 tank for when he's bigger. So OF COURSE I'm going to need another ball to fill his empty tank when the time comes

Very nice pin! I too am disturbed by a breeder not knowing what he's selling. Spiders and pinstripes are so obviously different to me I don't understand mixing them up. And yes, empty tank syndrome. It's like money in your pocket and will burn your eyes until you fill it with something!
