I was browsing the Kingsnake Classifieds and noticed Nocturnal Tom's ad. If you look at the second/middle pic of the "MBK"s for sale you can CLEARLY see black marker on his hand...I believe he's taking his whitesides and coloring them in with marker, trying to pass them off as MBKs, does anybody elses see that? Can he be trusted!? (wink) j/k Tom

no not THAT one

Duh its so obvious, everyone knows that MBKs are worth 100 and White-sided brooksi only 40 it makes so much sense now lol j/k Tom.

And my hypo he sent me was colored over in yellow neon high-lighter, its not the flash from the camera or anything lol.

Yellow Hi-Liter ?!! DARE WE DIG DEEPER? lmao

Firmly hold hatchling

patiently color scales color of choice
crank heat tape for faster dry time
turn on camera, take pictures
post ad on classifieds....

Why else do you think morphs cost so much........haven't we all heard of all the work that goes into them!

remember, any mistakes can be passed off as aberrant and any white spots passed off as Pied.

Post pics when ya can! Thanks! Tom Stevens

p.s. you're right on the money Rich, all my morphs are fake except the ones you got from me, did ya think that christmas themed head pattern got on that Brooksi by chance??? LOL

pss so we keep on King-ing here's a sulfur lav yearling I got the day it arrived, and another pic of it about a year later...

Tom told me not to tell that his other coloring tip involves feeding easter eggs to his moms to be, makes for an exciting clutch! That is a screamin meanie!

Hmmmmmm... is this why my snake seems to leave black marks on my hand everytime I pick him up???? Did you use a Sharpie or one of those big ghetto pencils???? LOL

Manda in Seattle

Ameture - you don't need a black sharpie.
Snake mites work just as well and are free
