Jon,

I happen to agree 100% with your posts and your thoughts on the subject. To take it a step further, I would say not disclosing possible hets can be just as bad for someones project as selling an animal that is not a het as a het.



This quote below posted by Justin is just a bit odd.



"If it's that important to the buyer they should ask for the complete genetic history of the line to be aware of all possibilities then make there decision."



So what your are saying is that it is up to the buyer to ask what possible hets are in the genetic makeup?



The seller has no responsibility to disclose that info?



I am not sure I understand the logic here. Whenever I sell an animal, I always give the customer its full genetic background and even offer to show photos of the parents. I also give a full rundown of where the parents were obtained. I keep very careful breeding records especially when I am breeding morphs.



To sell an animal that has recessive genetics as a normal het for nothing shows a few things.



1- a total disregard for our customers and their future projects.



2- A total lack of proper record keeping.



3- Uncareful breeding selection.

And the list goes on.



I for one would be pissed if I found out the hard way that any of my animals were het for a morph that I have no interest at all in working with.



Justin, I have a quick question for you...



How can you produce a possible triple het conda in 2 years time???
