Reddest tail

[Bogertophis]

I understand the genetics matter and that each snake is unique and may change over time. thank you for putting up there for others that might not. But why so negative at the end? Is that really necessary? I'll write it off as your having a bad day cause you are usually very helpful and I enjoy reading your posts most days and thank you for your input.

No, having a great day actually, & I'm sorry, I didn't mean that to sound so negative...it's just that snakes don't all turn out with the brightest color & I worry that people get "pets" for the wrong reason, "appearance" only. And then what if it darkens? Sell it off on Craigslist & go buy a "redder" one? Just my 2 cents anyway, but we have a lot of people reading here that breed to sell...so what happens when they produce snakes that aren't so red (ie. so salable) do they euth. them? I'm someone who enjoys a snake for the personality- the "whole package", I dunno, maybe I'm weird? I generally enjoy your posts as well- peace.
