A person I know recently bought a candy cane from a breeder in Sweden..

I say; that's not a Candy cane!

But some people (the breeder among others) continue saying that it's a Candy Cane...

Drama, drama..


What do you guys think!?

Personally, no. A candy cane should have white where that (very nice) amel has orange. I went to a show on Sunday where there were mis-labelled candy canes, reverse okeetees and miamis, which were just amels and normals!
 
I wouldn't say it's a candy cane either, more of a regular amel to my eye...if it is a candy cane, it's the "bottom of the barrel" sort.
 
It's so said when people try to sell corns as something they aren't!!

But I agree with you about this Candy cane..
It should be white with the red or orange saddles instead of orange between the saddles..

Hope you understand my very bad English ;)

Seen ALOT of that around here lately too! I am not sure if it's a case of blatant dishonesty, or just pure ignorance... I am hoping it is ignorance, though I am sure that there are many dishonest people out there unfortunately...

I saw a "Reverse Okeetee" on a local guys website that was not even CLOSE to looking like a RO! It was a normal amel with hardly any white borders and an ugly one at that! I am sure the guy he bought it from sold it to him as a RO, what worries me is that he is now selling the offspring of that one as ROs...the vicious cycle continues...

I've also seen pewters advertised as "silver bloodreds", "Silver" is what some call Anery A here... :shrugs:

I agree! Your english is better than some english-speaking people's english! :cheers:
 
I think it is dishonesty, myself. There are clear descriptions of how distinct line-bred morphs should appear. It may be wishful thinking by the breeders, but they had different prices on the mis-labelled corns, which made me cross. I started to ask a gecko breeder what her 'mack snow blizzards' were (they looked just like blizzards) and she told me 'I don't know the genetics', so I walked away and didn't bother to challenge the stallholders with dodgy labels on their corns
 
Ohh thank you *blushing*
the "spell-check" is my best friend in here! ;)

Nice to have some people who really knows about morphs and whats wrong and right!

I don't know if the owner of this amel got tricked or if the breeder accually thought that this was a candy cane! :shrugs:
 
I think you've hit the nail right on the head there Janine, some "breeders" DON'T know the genetics and that's the main problem!

Unfortunately I think it's often dishonesty too...
 
I feel like some breeders don't care about a corns genetics at all, they just want to make as much money out of it as possible..

But just some breeeders, not all of them!
