He does explain it for the most part, but at the same time, it depends on which ad as well. Why not simply call them bullsnakes from outcrossed breedings? That is what they are. For the one ad that he is selling these " Stillwater hypos ", he labels them as just that, while at the same time, calling them non-locale specific, in the same ad. That, to me and many others, is contradictory, and causes much confusion. Just explain what was used to create them, and don't slap on a popular locality-morph name to it, when they are NOT that locality morph.
Other ads though, the snakes are labeled White-Sided Stillwater hypos, and White-Sided bullsnakes that are " het for Stillwater hypo ", which is not even possible to begin with, as localities themselves are not a recessive gene/morph. In the ads, they are not explained as non-locale specific. See how confusing then it can be to people who just simply want to receive what they are paying for?
Nothing against the snakes or the breeder, in any way, shape, or form. The snakes in the ad are simply gorgeous!!! It is just frustrating to try to find the real thing nowadays, and if someone is going to spend hard earned money on what they think they are receiving, it is only professional courtesy of the breeder to be 100% detailed and explanatory in the breedings, to avoid the buyer NOT actually receiving what they thought they were getting, in the long run.
