I have nothing personal against Joe. I don't even know him. If Joe would of responded the way you did then this whole mess could of been anything but that... a mess. I found concern in the mixing of albino lines. And stated that concern here. He took offense to it and went in head strong with gloves on, instead of answering any of my concerns, he treated me like an idiot that was trying to ruin his reputation. In my opinion a professional should know how to contain his feelings and properly explain himself. However he did not do that.

I understand the testing phases that must be done when trying to figure out albino lines and new morphs. I tried to explain that when I was responding but I think it was over looked. What upset me out of all this was that the snake that started this whole thread is being sold as if its something new, rare, and amazing. Where as in my opinion (and many others even though they aren't here to speak up), it's a disaster waiting to happen. As an animal I do not devalue its existence, however I don't think it should be sold with the intentions of further breeding intentions. I would never sell a snake with 2 lines of albino mixed together and that's just my personal morals. I would sell it as a pet and leave it at that. He can do whatever he wants, its his snake, but I felt the need to discuss it and get other's opinion's. Not have a boxing match.

P.S. and I'm not saying all this cause I want the snake either in case anyone's thinking that. I have my own hognose projects and I always stay as far away from mixing albino lines in my projects as possible.
