I know many people in Europe saying they have Lavender stripes, Bloodred Motleys, Hypo Bloodreds and all they have are Anery stripe, Normal Bloodred etc etc. I was suckered into buying a Bloodred Motley two years ago but luckily you guys out here pointed out it could not be a Bloodred Motley. The Belgic seller still thinks he sold me Bloodred Motley. I don't know if it is ignorance or pure fraud.

>>I hear the same thing. A friend of mine in Europe says it's bad over there. Says when she goes to shows there, the misrepresentation is rampent and sometimes embarrassing. I don't see how it could be accidental with the Internet making making visual identification so accessible. Perhaps when folks have bought snakes that were sold as ambers, they swear up and down the babies are ambers regardless of their appearance. Can't really blame them for that as long as they're open minded about criticism. Others are probably claiming their babies are from this or that large breeeder just to get more money. Shrug??
