For starters, i dont own any ball pythons currently and i am a big fan of a certain radio station. That being said, i also cruise every possible forum, youtube video, breeders websites that are out there for information.
As a non ball python guy, i can still see that there are some ball python mutations that have some problems.
You seem to be slating these guys for bringing up the bleeding obvious, and i just dont get it. IMO that radio station is a credit to the industry. If you dont like what they have to say, just dont listen to it!!
It seems that you have produced some incredible animals, ie the caramel spiders and now your worried, that these guys talking bad about them is going to effect your investment. As you stated before, you were aware of some of these problems before, so whats you point?
In some ways, i see that your in a great position, sit on this project while your ahead of everyone else, produce 100s of them, and even if they dont end up going to breeders you would still sell.
I would love a caramel spider, it combines 2 of the most interesting mutations into one. Would i breed from it no, so would wait till the price was exceptable for me to buy, while not expecting a return.
You have chosen to take a risky project, and now dont want to get slated for it. Stand up for yourself, dont try and mock the RR boys, for just giving out what i believe is valid info. Sell your product for what it is, a beautiful creature that WE are luckily enough to be able to own, and just be happy that because a few of the colour/pattern mutations have lined up well, that means its worth more than a CF baby.
Breeding live animals is a privilege. Not a right.

Cheers dave

ps now just dont go crossing it into a Duckbilled super black pastel or RR really will rip it into you
