This is very interesting. The snake is interesting...but perhaps the thread is more interesting? It seem as though it has stirred up a bit of curious envy among a few of the posters here.
This is merely good project management. Nothing wrong with that. Perhaps he could have selected better pics...(but hey, Iets be real here, I know a few other people...some of whom may have posted in this thread....who started out using rather poor photos to market their animals too) lol.
Now...GREAT project management would have been to keep it completely under wraps until you have already proven a super...and until you actually have babies available to sell... That way they do not become "old hat" by the time you are ready to sell. You still control the market on them....And they have not been de-valued by other less savvy marketeers. When you have a nice pile of them... and multiple examples other cool combos using the new trait...then they are ready to be unveiled....and the iron is hot...you can sell em like hotcakes and at respectable prices too!
Regardless... Who can blame the breeder for wanting to show off a sweet looking animal. Marketing or not...it is a neat snake.... The breeders have every right to be proud. If you want to know the ingredients you may have to pay for an animal. Perhaps that is what this industry needs? People who are able and willing to take a little flack in order to help promote a little stability.
For example: Charles G. took a little flack for handling his Paint Ball project this way. Certainly there are other people who have Paint balls, as well as supers...but Charles handled the project smartly by initially only showing off the super form... Anyway. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. It is my opinion that we should allow the originator of a project decide how they wish to handle the marketing of their offspring. I don't know....Sometimes the knit-picking just gets a little old. Just my thoughts. Nice snake by the way.
