    The fact of the matter is, whether she's doing it on purpose or not, she IS ripping you off because you are not getting what you paid for. If you paid extra money for a car that was supposed to be red with white racing stripes would you be satisfied receiving one that was flat gray?
    i still dont understand what youre saying lol and just because i dont remember all of my highschool biology mean i should buy a snake? so what youre saying is if you dont know what a V8 or turbo charger is you shouldnt buy a truck? kinda silly

    shes very willing to give me my money back so she isnt ripping me off. if she were to say you bought it, its your fault for not noticing i dont do refunds, then she would be ripping me off

    and sorry to get kinda mouthy with you but i give what i get

    If you're paying extra for it, don't you think it would be wise to know what it means?

    And if you didn't catch her at it, would you be getting a refund? If she had it advertised as a Mojave, then she was clearly misrepresenting the animal. I supposed it would have been fine and dandy with you if she had sold this animal to someone else who didn't bother to check if it was real?

    Re: mojave or not?

    ok so let me try to understand this. if i mated a mojave to a mojave i would get mojaves a blue eyed lucys. or would i get mojaves, blue eyed lucys and normals? and if normals were produced wouldnt they be het for mojave since both parent were mojaves? assuming normals can be made like that

    or how bout this since this i what i think happend. if i mated a normal to a mojave i would get mojaves and normals. would the normals be partial het for mojave? a simple yes or no will do lol i dont quite understand all the co-dom stuff right now

    and what do the numbers in everyones signatures mean? the 0.1 and 2.0 and that stuff

    No you would get plain old normals. If a BP has any genetics for Mojave it would be visually unmistakable.

    Re: mojave or not?

    another thing is if she is so convinced this normal is a mojave, what would stop her from selling the rest of the normal sibblings as 'het mojave' or normal as mojave? I'd put out a post on he on the BOI. not nessisarilly as a 'bad seller' since she is giving you your money bak, but as a look out to watch what you buy from her

    yea i got that but nobody said why so it made ZERO sense until i read it. everyone is very quick to say no but wont explain why which makes things very hard to understand
