An "Emerald Jewel" is? I read the info on their website, and still cannot understand what they are supposed to be? Anyone?

thank you lady oh..i claim its only a name for now..no guarentees..we do have 05s..06s..and 07s..it may be random it may be nothing..but for now ive priced them as pretty fancies..

as far as the comment by strictor thats the animals normal color..im assuming you are refering the the pic of the female i have on my website under more info for emerald jewels..if you like ill take daily pics for her so you can see its not a dry shed..

i havent promised anything to anyone and when they buy i explain this to them 100%..seems to me the people who have the most to say about them (negative) are those who are trying to sell animals of thier own..those who like them buy them at worse they get a pretty animal..and since they paid $75 less then a pastel they dont get an animal that browns and fades out as they get older(hahahaha)

if i wanted to i could be like the others and take 1 or 2 of the craziest ones i have and try to sell them like others for $1-5K and tell you it could be the newest and greatest morph..we see it all the time here on this site..i chose not to do this..i offered them at a cheap price of $150-175 each..far cry in price for what others charge..even lower then what many here sell their fancies for..heck in a few months if michaels female proves out ill buy an ember ball and try to get a double morph..

no harm no foul..just giving back whats done to me

if you have any issues with me or my animals or my overpiced animals fell free to email or call me

thanks tim

I can reproduce aliens in ball pythons. He says they all have the same side pattern, but diferent back patterns. I think he might ruin his name trying to call a normal something that it isn't. I say if you want a morph, buy a morph.

This type of "morph" always comes along every year. The way the morph market is, the probability of getting a new morph in a group of ch babies is like hitting the lotto. Just another person wanting to get rich off a person who doesn't know any better.

For about $75 more, buy a pastel.

Emerald Jewel is the name( descrioption) I gave to a group of simalarly patterned and colored animals that we got out of Africa this year.. Turns out I had held back some from previous years also so should produce from one of My adult females this year.
No one claims thay are genetic but with the similarities to each other and the marker traits they carry I believe personally they will prove out to be genetic . With a little luck I should produce emeald jewel double visuals this season...
In the mean time they are a group of Neat Ball pythons that may turn out genetisc but worst case they are pretty snakes...
Lets not make more out of a descriptive name given to something . As cheap as these are if it proves out youll be wishing you bought some... Dont forget you could have bought yellowbellies in Daytona the year before the Southerlands produced the Ivory for 300.00.. And I know someone that found ember balls in a pet store for really really cheap.... Both turned out to be great projects....
As always if you donet want them ... Dont buy them... No harm no fowl for someone marketing something they believe in....Right??

I wonder if dry sheds increase pricing??...

Probably not But surely ignorant comments increase the stature you have in the forum community.

I obviously have no problem with people naming cool snakes, I just do not see what separates them from normals. I do not see the "markers" that someone talked about. I look at them and see normal normals, I mean textbook normals. What are the markers, and do you have a good pic of one next to a normal?
