Well ... it would appear Luis is only interested in debating my findings via avenues that keep me from being able to expose him further by his own doing unless I want to get infractions, which I do not.
However, this deflective method he has chosen speaks far more volumes than I am sure he is aware.
There are two versions of this post. One is from AZreptiles.com and one is from the "Boa Discussion Forum" on here.
I would like to thank the administrator at AZreptiles.com for his cooperation in posting the Fauna information on Luis' sale thread. He remains unbias in the posting, but just having it there, in my mind, means I have provided enough information here to successfully cast doubt on Luis.
Still, I am not wholly satisfied with Luis' immature handling of this matter, so I am going to answer all of his questions and redirect his attention as needed on this BOI thread, rather than fall for any bait he may think he is setting by avoiding the true contents of this issue here.
All pictures taken were taken with a point and shoot Kodak M1033HD camera... I was having difficulty taking pictures of the Albino Boas and Sunglow Boas, therefore I did play with flash settings and changed settings from Portrait to Macro... Other than re-size no pictures were edited...
"Difficulty" of taking the pictures of the Albinos and Sunglows and "playing with the flash settings" and "changing the settings from Portrait to Macro" produces Cherry Red neonates? You would be the first, sir, to have that happen, I am sure.
But, what do I know, right? I'm just jealous of your talents and want to ruin your reputation because I am bored and have nothing better to do as all of us on Fauna, eh?
P.S. the EXIF data has tattled on you once again and there is no evidence of it ever being switched to a Macro setting.
When all my babies have had their first shed, AND if I feel like it... I may post new pictures of my animals! I do not need to prove anything to any of you...
If you did not have anything to prove to us, why bother posting a response at all? If you have nothing to hide, you would post and stop getting so bent out of shape over all of this. A screaming ego can be heard behind even the most convincing of smiles, Luis.
One other thing... I am not selling any of the Sunglow Boas I produced... I am only selling the Salmon Hypo Boas, 100% Het Sunglows... And the Normal Boas, 100% Het Albinos... I am not asking a ton of money for my animals either, in fact I think I am asking between wholesale and retail... $75.00-$100.00
So ... basically, if someone is scamming people, but only doing it for small sums of money, that's okay? That aside, you did state you may sell some of them in six months or so. Why do I have this odd feeling more of them will have "colored up" by then? I would hate to speculate though so let's just go with the fact that you are using the "sunburnt" animals as a selling point. That means you are trying to profit off your dishonesty.
On a litter of Possible Super Salmon Hypo Boas, there are no warranties on which animals are Super Salmon Hypo Boas and which animals are Not Super Salmon Hypo Boas... My animals are represented exactly as the genetics they have...
Sure aren't, even more so when it's likely that none of the animals are.
Some of you claim I used a male Albino Boa... If I did, I have the best odds ever!!!! ...I think I would remember better which Animals I Pair Up.
Oh, the odds would be amazing, but not impossible. Now, as far as you remembering who you have and who you haven't paired up ... I posted the pics of the breeding female that you yourself posted on your CraigsList ad, I did not just pull that out of thin air. You have two females in a cage with two albino males, no sunglow males. So ... you explain that one to me.
That aside, that does not quite explain how your supposed hold back female from last season turned into a Swedish import sunglow male? A bit perplexing, don't you think?
Don't suppose you have an answer for that either.
It's also strange that no where on Fauna have you posted this supposed sunglow male, you only have provided broken encodes. Yet, on AZreptiles.com you provided that Swedish male that was also your female hold back here. Curious.
[QUOTE="HerpHobbiest, post: 1258697, member: 15467"]Let's compare numbers of total offspring produced...
[B]Albino Boa X Salmon Hypo Boa, 100% Het Sunglow[/B]
Normal Boas, 100% Het Albino, [B]1/4 = 25% vs. 04/23 = 17.4%[/B]
Albino Boas, [B]1/4 = 25% vs. 2/23 = 8.7%[/B]
Salmon Boas, 100% Het Sunglow, [B]1/4 = 25% vs. 8/23 =34.8%[/B]
Sunglow Boas. [B]1/4 = 25% vs. 9/23 = 39.1%[/B]
[B]Sunglow Boa X Salmon Hypo Boa, 100% Het Albino[/B]
Normal Boas, 100% Het Albino, [B]1/8 = 12.5% vs. 04/23 = 17.4% [/B]
Albino Boas, [B]1/8 = 12.5% vs. 02/23 = 8.7%[/B]
Salmon Boas, 100% Het Sunglow, [B]1/4 = 25% vs. 06/23 = 26.1[/B]
Super Salmon Boas, 100% Het Sunglow, [B]1/8 =12.5% vs. 02/23 = 8.7%[/B]
Sunglow Boas, [B]1/4 = 25% vs. 06/23 = 26.1%[/B]
Super Sunglow Boas, [B]1/8 = 12.5% vs. 03/23 = 13.0%[/B]

Yes, I get it, it would be highly unlikely, but not impossible. Just because the percentage is low does not completely rule it out of the realm of possibility.
Bottom line, Luis, since you are clearly reading this, just avoiding responding to it directly. If you had nothing to hide, you would prove it. If you really had those animals, you would be plastering them all over the net as any other person would be because it would be an amazing thing to have truly done. You would not be avoiding this BOI and posting in areas where you know peple cannot respond to your deflections directly because it will get them in trouble.
In my opinion, all you have done is solidified everything I have posted here and I am sure I am not the only one who thinks that way. When you start telling so many lies that you are not longer able to decipher fact from fiction yourself, you are about to be suffocated in that web.
