Morph Market Question

[Bogertophis]

That’s part of what led to my suspicions. I asked for updated pictures and the reply was “I don’t have any.” I asked if the snake really looks like the picture shows. The response was “I feel like the picture is a good representation of how the snake looks.” (I’m paraphrasing here) Just left a bad impression on me.

As a side note, if the snakes the breeder has actually look that way, they are the absolute model of perfection of the morph. Maybe he was being honest and didn’t have another picture. Just wondering if that sort of thing exists in the hobby.

Considering the money involved & the competition for sales, I think you're right to be suspicious. I have no experience with MM, only with "life" in general.
So I'd be surprised if all the sellers were reliable...I'd hope that most are, but it's not realistic to think that all of them are. If a seller wants to make a sale, and
especially if it's one of the pricier snakes, they ought to be willing to furnish more & current photos. Just my 2 cents. Trust your gut...

PitOnTheProwl makes a good point though...you have to expect the seller to have a life & be willing to wait a reasonable time for extra photos. There's a big
difference between waiting a while for more photos or having them reject your request.
