Are balls becoming Corns?

Cooter_the_BD Aug 20, 2008 08:35 PM

I am starting to notice that there are more and more "suprises" poping up, Jeffs post is what is making me post this, but i have noticed many others.........

So heres the question,

Do you think that in the future we will be seeing alot more of this? Are all normals going to end up being poss hets for somthing or another?

A lot of breeders sell poss hets as normal’s...So yes it is possible things could “pop up”.

Nope, pretty sure in the "future" normals will still be normals...

I'm fairly sure he means more and more people selling poss. hets as normals.
Apparently it's done a lot, and leads to fun surprises from people.

i think you will see this trend a lot more so YES. Hard to sell poss hets and the breeder got the goods when they crossed the het to het. ie:actual albinos.

i have even seen pieds pop up by accident when using a het to "normal" breeding. I have one its babies in fact. a $40 male purchased at a reptile pet shop!!

I am betting it will occur more so in the codoms as people will take unlikely het females and raise them to produce codom morphs.

It sure is great for the LUCKY CHOSEN FEW that break all the odds. like the guy with the het clown x normal producing an albino. WOW!!!!! WHAT a deal that turned out to be.
