I pointed out to the people there that spiders are dominant and there is no normal looking ball that could be a het for the trait. I explained they were misrepresented and the sign needs to be taken off the tank or changed to get rid of the het for spider part.

They told me they ARE het for spider and gave me a disgusted look. I said they are NOT het for spider since there is NO SUCH THING. I was then told that they bought them as het for spider and that is what they are going to sell them for. They are not changing the sign.

What a rip off.

They are totally misrepresenting these snakes and this is not the first time. Last year I pointed out that their $399.99 baby albino burms were not labyrinth albino burms like they had them advertised as.

I am so ticked right now. They jacked up the price (the "regular ones" are $49.99) by claiming they are something they are not. Someone who doesn't know any better is going to end up buying these thinking they are hets.
what can you do? you tried to help. ask the pet store who supplies their snakes lol.
