AD, I think you are missing the point. No disrespect intended. Normal looking low end pet shop Burms can have any of the visual traits heterozygous. Quite often, breeders sell the normal looking ones as normal regardless of their potential genetics...regardless of how long the morph has been on the market... regardless of potential value.

Would be determined by the sellers/breeders judgment on the ultimate purchaser. There are various tiers of sophistication in the hobby. It is a dead end competition-wise, as far as the breeder is concerned, if the progeny go to the lowest echelon of the trade. Those genes are not likely to come back as competition later on. They would in effect be surplus animals that have not sold on the market as/for specific morph potential.

Probability these folks that bought these "Pet Shop" snakes are the ones "not capable of caring for and sustaining such a large snake in captivity". Using the AR people's argument -- these are the people that would most likely be "releasing Pythons in the wild" if anyone was.

Hope this makes sense. Don't want to be speaking out of turn. This is just my personal perception of the business model we are referring to.
