That really sucks. Sorry to hear that. By the looks of their massive facilities it doesn't surprise me that a stuck shed would go unnoticed. As for the regurge, you know what, I've bought corns from smaller, but very very well respected breeders in the past and unfortunately also ended up with really difficult eaters and regurgers. You really can't be sure to get a 100% healthy animal from anyone, no matter who the breeders are. Of course, when a new snake dies on you (happened to me only once thankfully), its a perfect opportunity to reexamine one's own husbandry and make necessary tweaks if all is not as it should be. Not saying that that's what happened in your case, just saying that its definitely not always the breeder's fault when a snake is ill shortly after arriving to its new home.
That's a good looking snake, but almost certainly something great plainsy going on. They should label it as a hybrid if that is indeed the case.

I don't care how big they are. If you sell BP morphs for thousands of dollars then you should put the same effort into knowing the morphs of every snake you sell. Saying they bought it as a "chocolate corn" so they're selling as that without knowing anything about it (hybrid, morph genetics) makes me very leery about their more expensive BPs. It doesn't instill confidence that they really care about what they breed or sell.

I agree that they should know and label their corns correctly. Clearly they are not as knowledgeable about corn snake morphs as a lot of people on this site. However, when it comes to balls, BHB definitely know what they are doing. Some of the most popular morphs on the market originated from BHB's breeding programs. The pinstripe morph just to name an example, apparently came from a w/c specimen that Brian bought and imported from Africa to the states way back when. They've been the first to produce a lot of compound morphs. I'm not particularly excited about BPs, but from what I've read, heard and seen, BHB are highly knowledgeable when it comes to BPs.
In my area of the central mid west,the chocolate corns were sold at several shows back in the late 90's and early 2000's as being a 75/25 corn/emory mix. Basically a rootbeer crossed back to an amel corn or sometimes rootbeer x rootbeer. The product of starting creamsicle lines. This may or may not be the case, but it sure looks like some of the animals back then.

I thought I had heard most of the morph names... but this is a new one on me. Did he ever get back with the genetics on this? I looked a few places and couldn't find anything listing the breakdown of a 'chocolate'.
