Another FAKE pastel ad from Geni Mullins

Yet again, you don't understand what I am saying. I'm saying calling a snake a "pastel." Notice the period there. Does not qualify it as a morph.

Pastel does not = Pastel Jungle, BUT

Wrong, I will in fact be posting some "pastels" soon in the BP classifieds......

BUT WHEN JOHN Q PUBLIC says, "damn, that's a nice pastel!" They think it applies to any light colored ball python. I'm not making this up folks! I hear it at least once a month.

actually I hear it often too. But not once a month.
I also hear it a lot for boas too.

Does this mean that the industry is supposed to stop calling genetic pastels by the pastel name because a few crooks use the term loosely and uninformed people buy them?

I still think that a pastel is a pastel is a pastel. They are genetic.

Brightly colored normal BP's should never be advertised as pastels and every seller that uses that term to sell an animal should be called out on it.

I could not have said it better myself.

Guys, that's fine, call them out. But!!!! Realize, that you may actually encounter some people who don't know that the "industry" has highjacked this adjective. And that it now has a very specific meaning. They might be using the word not knowing any better. So before 15 of you send them nasty emails, threatening to kill their first-born, at least assertain whether or not they know what "pastel" means.

You guys get all riled-up awfully quick, and you have a tendency to come off as a bunch of pompous a$$es. People don't stay around very long listening to other people they don't like, or who have insulted and threathened them. Can you at least give me that?

EVERY pastel scam that has been called out so far has been that, A SCAM. We don't instantly jump, the sellers are emailed and its decided whether or not others should know about it.

You honestly think that these sellers just happened to pick the word pastel? NO, they read ads and see the higher price, then they slap the name on thier animal in hopes to get more for what they know is a normal.

you call us pompass a$$holes and all this and u assume we send people nasty emails saying we kill their first born and now you want us to what give u credit for saying that the crooks who use the term pastel lightly and vaguely shouldnt be run up and down for trying to rip people off ..

if people know what pastel means then they are knowingly mislabeling their animals if they call their animal a pastel when its not its that simple

All of them? NO, absolutely not. But some, see a pastel jungle morph labeled with a common adjective like "pastel" and knowing nothing about the genetics behind it, think they have one of those also.

IF...........that's the key word there. If they know, then yes, call them out. But yall are assuming EVERYONE knows.

Damn, "We don't," "it's decided," maybe there's more to this Brotherhood thing than I thought!!!!

My thoughts:

Brian's point....I think he's just trying to say there is still a considerable number of people who keep reptiles that just don't understand....

The "brotherhood's" point....if they don't "understand" then what the h*ll are they doing selling them????

....I think we all agree on one thing though, and that's the fact that if someone knows but insists on misrepresenting their animals, then they'll get what they deserve


For everyone that does not know....this is a Pastel.
