"Trace patterns" & "Morph sibling" advertisements

[wolfy-hound]

As long as the snakes being sold were siblings to a morph, then there is NOTHING wrong with selling them as morph siblings. Usually this also means the breeder took a little extra care picking the normal half of the parents, since you wouldn't waste a morph breeding on a "ugly" normal. (not that I've yet seen a ugly normal, but some ARE more normal than others)
And as far as pricing, the seller can price their snake at ANY price they want to. If a seller has a normal hatchling for sale for $400.oo and someone sees it for sale, and buys it, then at the time of purchase, the seller and the buyer agreed that the price was fair and the deal is therefor fair. Could the buyer pay $10 for a normal at a show? Yes. But they wanted that snake, and did not mind paying $400.00 for it, so it's STILL a fair deal.
If you see a normal for $400.oo, and it says "spider sibling" on it, it's not a scam, since they are stating exactly what the product is, a sibling to a spider, and pricing it according to what the SELLER(or the currant OWNER) wants to recieve in exchange for it. You don't have to buy it, you can go up the street and get one cheaper.
I have a completely normal snake that many think is some sort of morph because she's so pretty with insane blushing.. she's a normal. I wouldn't take a normal price for her AT ALL. If I HAD to put her up for sale, I'd have a really high price, and I would not consider it to be scamming anyone, as long as I say "Normal ball python".
When you own the snake, you put the value on the snake. It might not sell, since no one else might value the snake as much as you do, but it's still your right to put the price you feel the animal is worth on it.
