Jeff,

When PBM made his post about accuasations all I did was copy and paste everything he wrote. I made a mistake because some of that I should have taken out. I may have missed some of your ealier posts about the Super Motley. When it comes to boas in general you are probably one of the most knowlagable people out there. I think people respect your opinion as well as look up to you. When it comes to the Super Motley you are right about the fact that these people who have produced them should be openly discussing this situation. They are not talking about it because they know that people are going beyond their means (not in all cases) to buy Motley and Super Motleys with the hopes of a big pay day. In my opinion these people who are well aware of the long term out come of a Super Motley are missleadind, misrepresenting, and suckering the public into buying or trading for them. There is the WOW factor. People see a Super Motley and go WOW, I gotta have one of those. They say to themselves, imagine the breeding and the babies I will get from that.



Jeff, in most cases you seem to be very open, and I think that is great. Someone needs to bring light on this subject--- PERIOD. I don't care who it is. This is something that a lot of people don't know. People need to be aware. I think the people who have this information are only being selfish and greedy.



Here is a thought. Often times we here about so and so buying a snake on line and they get it and it ends up being sick, now there is vet bills and lets just say it dies. When this happens they post there experience on the internet and everyone will say what a scum bag that seller was. Dumping an animal so they don't take the loss. I would rather eat a sick boa then dump it off on someone else. My name and reputation mean something to me, as I believe most people are that way, but clearly not all. When these Super Motley breeders are selling Super Motleys and they are very clear of the potential out come of that Super Motley, what does that say about their reputation????? They don't want to talk about it because then they will be openly admitting there is a huge problem with them. When people say that Super Motleys die and not one of the so called " BIG BOYS" who are always posting here don't defend that then I think that speaks lound and clear. If you scroll up and down the boa forun you will see these people on a daily basis but yet they chose not to talk about this. I think anyone selling super Motleys should have their reputation revued. They will never admit there is a problem for obvious reasons and they will never admit there is no problem because then you could call them a lier.



This subject needs to be talked about by everyone. We are all a part of this community, not just the big guys. Someone should post on every forum about this so more people can be reached. If someone wants to produce Super Motleys then by all means, go right ahead. But they should not be for sale. The people with the knowlage are taking advantage of the people without the knowlage. This is something that should not be swept under the rug. Maybe I will bring it up here in the forums every week so it stays fresh and on the first page. It seems once things hit page two they are old news. Sorry if people think i am running on but this picture clearly needs to be looked at. Have a nice day. Brian
