A breeder who has invested years of time and thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new project is not going to want every Tom, Richard, and Harry out there who owns a ball python to start pumping out dozens of identical or similar morphs and flood the market, thus insuring the breeder won't even be able to sell the animals he worked so hard to produce. So why don't you just get down off your damn high horse, and if you want to know what's in one of those never-before-seen morphs, then save up your money and offer to buy one from the breeder and then you'll know what's in it.

Otherwise, stop looking at the pictures and then you won't have anything to complain about, now will you?

Just a picture, not even a tidbit of info that it's for sale or a call me?
