You're speculating that the hatchlings of small male breeder corns are small. Not true. There are some types of corns that do have small hatchlings (like Miami Corns) but just because an adult male is small does not mean it was a small baby or will produce small hatchlings.



And that's the problem with your BOI (as well as Rich's). Speculation. The original person who posted asked if the snake was a Butter Corn. They said their photo wasn't accurate. It does not look like a Butter Corn to me, but perhaps it is - it just isn't showing its true colors.



Your immediate "knee jerk" reaction was "I'd appreciate it if you'd post that info on the RepCheck.org board. That's amongst the things that needs to get cleaned up in this business."



Maybe there was no wrongdoing whatsoever. Maybe it's just a crummy photo.



The original person who posted said that the snake's parents were Butter. Maybe he misunderstood. Maybe the breeder he bought them from said they were HET for Butter.



Maybe the snake's parents ARE Butter and they produced an amel offspring (sounds crazy, but other genetically "impossible" things have happened).



Some of these items can easily be resolved by the original person who posted the photo. He should consult the person he bought the snake from (or post a better picture that accurately shows the snake's colors).



Implying that the breeder is a "bad guy" without having all the information isn't productive. Some things need to at least be attempted to be resolved between the buyer and the seller before being posted on a forum for all to see.



That's the problem with BOI's - often they can be a good resource, but other times they are a place for people to post "knee jerk" reactions and gripes when they do not have all the facts and no attempt was made by the buyer to have the seller resolve the issue.
