I thank you for taking the time to respond back to me Nate and please know that I am not angry or upset and my apologies if I initially came across that way. Those that know me in this hobby will attest that I am one who believes only in conducting myself in a civil manner. I am a very-level headed individual and am not and have never been money-driven, caring more about establishing friendships with those who share my passion for these incredible creatures. Thank you for the nice comment and recognition in regards to my many years of contributions to the milk snake hobby.



I guess I was taken back when viewing your post and I may have read into your remarks too much, taking it personally. But I also appreciate you clearing up the fact that your statements were not meant to be malicious in some attempt to slander me. It's important for you to understand, like others will stress, that in through my several years of offering animals to individuals in this hobby I have never nor will I ever at anytime intentionally mislead anyone. Especially someone who is interested in getting sinaloan morphs from me.



True, when one is to google "albino sinaloan" one of my many fauna adds surface. Most that see the animals being advertised will notice them listed as albino splotched sinaloans. Of those, most already understand that the albino genes present have all derived from using albino nelsoni. The ones that show interest that don't quite understand usually contact me, where they then receive a precise run down on the exact genetics used in producing those specific color/pattern morphs. Through the years I have ran many adds, some more descriptive than others but again, never have I ever once claimed to have produced pure "albino sinaloans" and try and sell them as such. Because of the information I provide and my egerness to continually be upfront and honest, no one has ever felt the need to challenge the authenticity of any of my animals.



As far as the micropholis X andesiana subject, you and I have talked in great length about this and there is no reason for us to beat a dead a horse. However, I agree with you, regardless of what they are considered by many, I have always appreciated them. I did enjoy keeping them for the years I had them. And so that you are aware, I was not one who got out of them when questions about their origins surfaced. I simply lost interest and chose to focus on other projects at the time. It just so happens that a short time afterwards, while in the hands of others, the thought of them being something else other than pure micropholis was presented. Hopefully those still interested in getting their hands on some pure animals will one day have their chance.



Again, thanks man for helping me to clear the air on this. I respect the way you handled my response. It's funny that with me being such a sarcastic person that I failed to see your sarcasm in that post. Let's let it rest now.....

Have a great weekend.
