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.

About 9 months ago I purchased a "blacktail" cribo as a hatchling. Within 6 months his tail had faded to the point where you almost cannot distinguish it from his body. I was pleasantly suprised that it turned out to be a unicolor.

That's disturbing. We need to be very careful what we breed to what.

Generally, by the time they are breeding size, their coloration gives them away, as both spp. normally begin life with black tails. However, a few appear to fall somewhere in between..

Yes but what I'm saying is that it appears to me that Rob purchased what he believed to be a hatchling black tail which later turned out to be a unicolor. That tells me that either the breeder did not know what he had for parent animals, or he lied. Unless I'm missing something, which is entirely possible. Question,...Is it possible for two true blacktail adults to breed and produce a hatchling unicolor? Either way, we need to pay better attention to what we are breeding to what.

I should mention that I didn't purchase him from a breeder, but a local shop in RI that told me he was captive hatched. No need to worry that a breeder misrepresented him.
As I mentioned, I was quite happy with the outcome considering I paid next to nothing for a unicolor. I just wished I had purchased the other one they had at the same time.

If it was from a pet shop, it is likely impossible find a record.

I would think that pet shop would know who they got it from.

"Captive Bred" does not mean that they got it from the breeder. They probably got it from a jobber or dealer. 99% of pet shop herps are "ananonymous". Even if they could track down the dealer/jobber, chances are that they would not know who bred it. And of course, it is not uncommon for someone to by a snake, decide to get rid of it, and take it to the local pet shop. Even if the pet shop DID care, most likely the conversation would go something like "Will you buy this captive bred Cribo?", "Sure, where did you get it", "Some herp show". End of conversation. While sometimes it is possible to track lineages from pet shop snakes, it is certainly not common.
