This just demonstrates he calls a morph when it is really a morph.

The rest are just "odd names" used to describe what he sees in otherwise normal ball pythons. I don't see nothing wrong with that as he is not claiming anything about them.

I'm working out a deal for a pair of those Graziani pastels (or at least one) as we speak.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
This is what to buy if you want to KNOW that you're getting proven genetics for a decent price...but you won't get them for anywhere near $150. spam_Remember people, you get what you pay for...if you want proven genetics, it always costs more.

I have a very huge and very awesome looking B.P. here. When the light hits it just right, her entire body has a blue sheen to it. So can I call her the neatest thing since graham crackers? *LOL* Can I possibly have a "new morph" here? I'm thinking of calling it the blue-light special!!! Sorry guys, I had to. Couldn't resist.

Seriously though, Craig's odd-ball names are what attracts me to his ads. IMHO, it is a very clever marketing tool. I might add, in all of his ads that I've seen, not once has he appeared to be deceptive. I say keep up the good work, Craig!!!

According to Craig inone of his ads I got my panties in a wad.

There goes ANY future deal between he and I, and believe me, I have been interested in a lot of his ball pythons. I just wanted to see what others have experienced with him in their deals and such before I took a step towards him b/c there are a lot of crooked peeps in this trade.

Btw Craig, I don't wear panties. What you behind closed doors is up to you tho.

Bill....I realize you're having a problem with the way Craig puts "names" on his Ball Pythons, but....YOU are the one that's losing out....Craig is honest and quick to deliver and his animals are top-notch! If I was into balls (I'm heterosexual, lol) I wouldn't hesitate to buy them no matter what he named them....Neil

Bill,

I don't think this will affect in any way your dealings with him. You just posted an opinion and asked a question about him. Again if you like what he has, try him, he will not hold what you said against you.

Best regards, &nbsp;<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

OK BILL &nbsp;well i gate to say this &nbsp;but &nbsp;if you lost his business then no one to blame but yourself &nbsp;you said you posted what you did to see if others had problems cause of alot of crooked people &nbsp;hmmmmmmmmmm &nbsp; no sorry i really dont buy that &nbsp;cause in your post you were somewhat bashing him for his ball python names &nbsp; &nbsp;and i quote &nbsp;:

Here are some examples of what I mean:

cinnamon head ball?
wannabe pastel jungle?
silver spot ghost?
Jungle?( I am sorry but this is NOT A JUNGLE BALL!!!!!!

Is this guy so desperate to have a name that he has to label every normal ball that he has with a weird name? That one he is calling a jungle is NOT a jungle, not like any of the genetic ones that I have seen anyway. Some of the stuff he had labled last month was ludicrous.

WHats next? a 'Doorknob blushing nosepicker ball'?

I just don't understand why there is a need to quacky labels on a obviously plain ball python. Some of the stuff he puts up is different, but most of the time its just rediculous.

So whats his story? anyone here deal with him? How did it go? He has had a couple of snakes that tempt me, but I kind of hesitate to buy from someone who does that silly naming stuff.

NOW &nbsp;I DONT KNOW ABOUT ANYONE ELSE &nbsp;BUT THIS DOES NOT LOOK LIKE AN INQUIRY &nbsp; &nbsp;LOOKS LIKE &nbsp;A &nbsp; LYNCH MOB ATTACK &nbsp; IF YOU WANTED INQUIRY ON HIM &nbsp;YOU WOULD HAVE CHOSEN YOUR WORDS BETTER &nbsp; THIS WAS JUST A &nbsp; SIMPLE ATTACK &nbsp;ON HIM &nbsp;CAUSE &nbsp;YOU &nbsp;DIDNT LIKE WHAT HE NAMED HIS BALL PYTHONS &nbsp;IM SORRY TO BE THE ONE TO SAY THIS &nbsp; BUT MOST OF THE TIME IM THE 1 WHO STARTS &nbsp; &nbsp; WITH SAYING WHAT THEY THINK &nbsp;AND SAYING IT &nbsp;WITHOUT HESITATION .........

MAYBE NEXT TIME YOU WANT TO INQUIRE ABOUT SOMEONE &nbsp;YOU MAY WANNA RETHINK &nbsp;HOW YOU SAY IT &nbsp;

Yeah...Craig's a nice guy. &nbsp;I talked to him on the phone after he put up that ad. &nbsp;He was attempting to be humorous, but he was a little concerned that he might piss someone off...I told him to leave it...but I am not nearly as skin thinned as a lot of people, so I come across a little harsh at times myself. &nbsp;He's not a jerk at all. &nbsp;I've only bought from him one time (about to be two) and he treats me like I'm one of his best customers. &nbsp;If you called him or emailed him about an animal and never mentioned that it was you, he'd probably never even know...and if he did know, I guarantee you that it would never affect any deal you guys make. &nbsp;


The guy sells TONS of BPs...he doesn't have time to hold grudges. &nbsp;Craig is about being honest, yet aggressive in his advertising. &nbsp;He sells just about every animal he posts on Kingsnake. &nbsp;Unfortunately, people back out every now and then, so he sometimes has to re-post ads.

Yeah, b/c you know all fifteen of me were attacking him in a lynch mob fashion. *rolls eyes*

All caps is rude, btw.

Ok, here is the story on Craig Wyatt....
He grew up a poor white boy in...LOL... wait that's not what you mean, you want to talk about how he names his balls!
Well, me and Craig met in prison back in the 70's and we decided we were gonna come up with all these cool ball pythons names in the year 2000 and take over the world!!!
ha ha ha
Seriously though, Craig is a good guy.. the names are just a description so you don't waste your time clicking on something you might not be interested in. So does that answer your question on what the deal is? Or is it something else you wanted to know? Are you asking if he's gonna rip you off? If so, the answer is no, I will put MY name on it (small as it may be) Don't let the panty comment get to ya, guys that sell reptiles all the time get a little frustrated with people sometimes, I know I sure do..lol
As far as Balls go.. Craig tried to name my balls one time and I had to ask him to leave and cut off his beer supply..LOL
ha ha ha ha (just kidding, I'm heterosexual also Neil, so don't get any ideas) ROFL
Have fun arguing you all <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

I have never delt with Craig, but after all of the nice comments on him, I wouldn't hesitate to! He has some super looking snakes and I don't see anything wrong with him naming them. His prices are reasonable and he isn't claiming them to be genetic, just super nice animals and I think the pics speak for themselves. With all of the ball pythons posted at kingsnake, I think it's a good way to grab someones attention that isn't looking for the average looking BP.
