I am talking about overhype in reguards to posting ads for snakes that are $5 normals, but have a three inch stripe, and the ad states, "MUST SEE", I find that to be overhyping a plain ole normal. Especially when the snake is listed for $499.99 or something like that.

Like my snakes or not, I have proven out two Pet Store females genetic. And while we are on the subject, how many morphs look spectacular, and how many look just a bit off of what a normal looks like....Fire, Cinn, Black Pastel, Vanilla, Thunder, Yellow Belly, Het Red Axanthic...all of these look similar to normals, BUT have proven genetic, HAVE proven to produce Supers, and HAVE proven to produce nice crosses. With my two morphs, I admittedly need to produce supers, but I have done the rest. The pic is of the Tangerine Ball, unproven, named only in my pic center to differentiate it from other pics, basically a name for me to identify it by, instead of Normal0087, and I have seen my share of normals, but she is far from normal looking. She may or may not prove out, but I will have fun trying to see if she is genetic.
