Thanks for the reply.



I don’t understand the logic behind that statement at all. It is not the buyer responsibility to ask if there are potentially any extra genes in an animal that you are selling. Is it their responsibility to ask if there are any health issues too? I believe these things need to be disclosed by the seller. They should get exactly what they asked for.



So if someone buys a snake off you and doesn’t ask what the genetics are, you are ok with them being completely ignorant when it comes time for them to sell offspring of their own and are asked about the genetics by someone who it’s important to?? Now we are right back to the reason for my post. How are we supposed to know the animals we are buying are truly what we think they are?



I understand the connection between the anaconda and ppa and I actually noted that as an exception. I wasn’t aware of any hypo influence floating around in the original anaconda gene pool though. What’s the story behind that?
