This was a good topic for the forum, but it seems that a couple of you took it as a chance to say slanderous things about the seller, as I have seen you do many times in the past. It seems to me that the seller DID in fact label the snake as het. albino. Not to mention that the buyer was not displeased at all. The forums are not supposed to be for personal complaining about any one individual (possibly in the general forum), but even there, discretion should be used. If you had a bad purchase, that is one thing, but just because someone is not liked by you, keep it to yourself and spare the rest of us the hassle of passing over your posts. Do not try to persuade others to dislike someone that you do not like. I have been following the hognose forum for some time now and have noticed that when a certain name comes up, a small few of you take the chance to say as much derogatory remarks as possible to sway others into not liking this individual. Get a life and leave his alone!



As for the topic of disclosing genetics, it is always good to label them as accurately as possible, but not always possible. Take for example corn snakes. Many have an uncountable amount of genetics and only a few are listed in any given animals "title" having up to dozens of hidden genes! If it is important to the buyer, they should ask very specific questions about any possible genetics.
