Dave, I never said they were anything but normal boas either. I never really said one way or the other. To me they look different from a normal Ball Python. I have sold thousands of Ball Pythons over the years. I know how to keep them, I know how to sex them, I know how to raise them, and I have produced my fair share in the past. I have gravid females at home now. What I don't know, and never claimed to know or keep track of is the morph market. I have learned more about ball morphs in the past 2 weeks then I have learned in my life. I had to learn how to tell one from another, otherwise how could I possibly hope to sell them at all? Rainwater has these labeled as Tequila Balls. I'd never heard of that before. But I never heard of his "Nuclear" ball python either, but it sure has excited a few people. I have had 3 people look at these Tequila balls, two over the internet and one in person. Tim Johnson, a frequent poster here, and a good friend came to my house to pick out a few balls for future breeding, and looked at just about every Ball Python I have. I can't remember his opinion on what they are, but I'm sure he's going to read this and will please chime in with his opinion. For all he knows he thinks they are just plain ol' ball pythons. One thing I can tell you. I believe that the genetics listed on the cages are true, but I can't guarantee it. I did not produce them, and I don't know who did. These are all from the scam Tim had going years ago, and if you look up Rainwater you will find the thread about it. There's a lot of hets in those bins. I can't even promise that the het albinos that this all started over are real. I believe they are. I will give a money back guarantee that they are. That's about all I can do. And if someone buys Tequila balls from me and they end up producing nothing but normals, I'll take them back and refund the money there too. I won't pay for raising them or overhead to maintain them, but I will refund the purchase price. Is it worth the risk? Not for me to decide.
There was a bit of confusion about the reservation of the het for albino balls which started this thread. The rest of it is questioning what I have for sale. You can question away, because I know I've been asking questions to many others and myself since I got this whole collection. And to think all I wanted out of the deal were the breeder racks and the large group of albino Hognose snakes. I got my racks, and I got my new snakes. Kim has selected about 15 Ball Pythons to add to our breeding collection. The rest has got to go. I will be making up a real and accurate list in the next few days if anyone's interested. Then I hope to sell them fast and somewhat cheap and get back to my colubrids. I don't think I have much more to say about this here, but if you'd like to email or call me that would be welcome. Mystery Balls does not make me a bad guy. I'm honestly trying to honestly represent what I have. Nothing more, nothing less. Once I have room in the store to house what's left of the balls, I'll be in no hurry to sell them and will more then likely mark them up to a ridiculous and expensive price. But for now I want my living room back. Tim, tell them how my living room and kitchen and snake room look now please. That's it, I'm done.
