Re: the comments above and feelings re: people not believing in this particular look-I don't think that way-I think more it just reflects that there are always animals that do something for whatever reason for people-and that's why there are "turtle" people or "lizard" people or green tree python fans etc etc. There are many times that I'll pick a snake let's say out of a clutch of babies I really like-and if I ask someone "which one do you like?" and rarely does he/she pick the one I liked. I think that is a very fascinating thing-how each of us view animals, paintings, cars, etc etc. The cool thing about snakes is that the variation usually covers a ton of tastes-the amazing variability in a group of snakes then attracts a wide group of people-this is a good thing.



Myself? I have been working retail now for 5.5 years. Every year we buy 100, 200 and lately more baby balls. I think some are succulent. I think some are rather drab. But no matter my opinion, there is truly a buyer for every one. Black back? Blushing? Busy aliens? Something for everyone.



When I saw the pics of the "spot-nose" I said to myself "she has something, I dont know what. But it is definitely something". Just look at the head. Nobody knew what was hidden there. It could have been nothing more than simply a spotnose. I say, chase every lead. I would have on that one and probably will on another someday. Ralph may have called it dinkin' around. LOL



Great work Tracy. Now take the family into town and have a nice meal in celebration! Wooooohoooooo!
