ok, I can understand why your doubting.
first of all apologies if my poor photoshopping led you to believe i was just trolling the forum!
as you would be aware, snakes like this are incredibly rare; what are the odds of producing one of these? 1 in a million? perhaps.
the quick and nasty photoshopping in the images i posted yesterday was not to do with the snakes, they were left untouched. it was solely to remove anything from the background that may have given leads as to the identity of the owner or location
as a regular forum user (under another name of course!) i know there are often posts highlighting the need to keep a low profile collection and protect it from would be thieves. How many posts have there been recently concerning animals that have been stolen?
would you risk posting a photo of this animal if it was in your collection and your location was known? just look at the number of views on this thread.
a friend asked me to make some enquires about selling these animals so he has sent me the images and i have uploaded them.
As for some of you claiming to have seen the images before with different backgrounds, well thats just crap. photos of the snake have never been posted on line before, send me a link if you think they have.
snakes are the progeny of 2 hets.
hatched out in late 2010.
here are some photos untouched by photoshop except for resizing for the web.
The hatchlings photo shows 2 paradox albinos (with black markings to different degrees) and a normal baby carpet.
will try and answer questions but my web access is limited
apologies and enquiries accepted by pm!
