Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Chocolate(Looking)? Hmmmm, a true genetic morph, or just a way to sell a $100 animal for $200? I think it's the latter of the two. Anyone else?

I just wanted people to think. Simply because the way you seem to make it sound like something special. The fact that you got so ticked off shows that there was actually a bluff, and I called it. By the way, I have a mocha/caramelish(looking) male.

Unwanted Sarcasm
Moeseph,
I feel that you should lay off. Go to www.kingsnake.com, and look at all the supposed "burgandy hypos" on the market. All are w/c, unproven, and just shipped into the country recently. Since they arent feeding, and are fresh imports, they all go for 150-2000, from what I've seen. I think 200+s/h is more than fair, and you should just lay off. He is just calling his animals as he see's them, can't ask for more. He never said it was proven genetic, but he simply said it has a look of chocolate ball pythons.

I can see why it might be considered sarcastic. However you lack the vision to see the humor in my last comment. I would like you to check out "The Big List" and read the article. Here are two of my favoritew exerpts that tell where I'm coming from.
1st one:
"The people who are so quick to tack on a catchy name to a "farm raised" ball are the ones who are not able to be involved in the legitimate mutation buisness in the first place.
Pastel has been bastardized by every Tom Dick and Harry who happens to pick up a light colored ball from an importer. Every other imaginable variation in normal color and pattern has also been issued one or more flashy names to boost sales."
2nd one:
"Regardless of the ethics of it, the fact remains that the entire practice is nothing more than a blatant marketing ploy that does, on occasion, prey on those less educated in the realm of ball mutations.
Everyone of these non-genetic "morphs" come in at the same price. Depending on the quantity pruchased from the importer, the ones selling them have between 10 and 20 dollars in each of them. Then they just ad the trendy label and put a $200 price tag on it, and the whole process is dependant on those who are willing to pay that $200. I for one am not."
I for one am not either. You call it sarcasm. I call it not getting sucked into the rediculous trap of getting ripped off by those who would use these "blatant marketing ploys". Be it wherever they are being sold. Perhaps this isn't a good place for this, but then again, where is if any, a good place?

Moeseph
Point well taken, Be that as it may, isnt the whole buisiness based around marketing ploys? 2 pastels, same genetics, one 500+ more than the other, same sex and size. It's all on supply and demand. If people are willing to buy unproven, and possibly ungenetic morphs like chocolates and burgandy's, than many people will offer them for sale, and people will buy.
Whatever works
Mike Fortier.
