Bottom line I was told it was a sterling, I traded it as a sterling........Why.........Because its a sterling......I only had doubts about the snake because I'm totally new to ball pythons and the morphs, and what members here said about the snake......But I've never been one to believe everything I hear or read, so I did research......And once again a person who is VERY well known in the herp community gave me his word and guarantee that it's a sterling......So why would a man with such an outstanding reputation in this hobby all of a sudden, up and scam me by saying a snake is one thing, and it's another......I'm currently emailing Adam as I type this, and this will be my last post until I have everything situated, and ready to post.
