well....not entirely. I understand what you're saying Tony, but then the message, to some degree, would be: "be wary of pet shop purchases". Which I agree with. But that specimen looks like nothing other than a knoblochi.
Would I purchase from a pet store? Never. But that's my way of doing things as I like to know every detail of where my stock derives. It's a chance people take. However I'd like to think that if the specimen in question looked something "other than", the majority of experienced folk on this forum would say "wait a sec, something's not right", as was the case with a campbelli not long ago in the milk forum. What a fiasco thyat turned out to be with this same notion you bring out. Point well taken, by all means!
I may seem brash, but my advice to others is to stay the hell away from pet store purchases if one cares about the lineage of their snakes if the objective is to breed. Very simple. Because like anything else in life, you get what you pay for. And quite honestly, I'd rather pay out the nose for something legitimate and be able to sleep at night knowing I passed along like offspring to others in this hobby versus saving a few dollars here and there. It's not worth it in the long run. Jerry has spoken. LOL.
