You hit the nail on the head.....its all about marketing....in this industry (and Im a new one here, however see it with other industries), its all about something that will make it sound more appealing to the buyer....as we all know most buyers for boa morphs are other breeders....people dont spend that kind of money on a snake if they arent going to breed it....at least the majority.....also we see how prices on these morphs fluctuate so rapidly...its like a stock that you own....and when there is a scandal in the company, the stock goes down, and everyone who had bought in for this much money...now have just lost equity.....the bummer in all this, is that I hope that this doesnt lessen the value of the other so called T-Pos boas.....you can see the kind of reaction that this first post got.....it was very aggresive in the way that you protect something of value, with everyone chiming in who has a vested interested in whatever stock they have bought into.....ultimatley....I still enjoy the snakes that I keep and work with....and if I make any money with them thats great...if not, I have a day job and this is something that brings joy to my life.....and just selectively breeding to get a certain look is payback enough for me.....

Hope I didnt offend anyone with this post....that was not the intention....
