Ask for an identification
A second opinion from photos, before you pay for a test. Ball pythons only for now. New members start with 3 opinions.
What you get
- Consistent with: the morphs the photos fit.
- Cannot be told apart by eye from: the lookalikes that photos cannot split.
- Cannot be confirmed from a photo: hets and breeder lines.
- Strength: strong, moderate or weak, with the reason.
- What would settle it: the test or breeding result most likely to settle it, if one exists.
What it is not
- It is not a DNA test and cannot do what one does.
- It is not a certificate. Do not use it to describe an animal you are selling.
- It says nothing about health or value.
- If the photos cannot be used, the credit comes back and we tell you what to retake.
How do these opinions hold up? See the track record.
How it runs
- One reviewer answers requests. There is no promised turnaround, and a request may be declined.
- You can have 3 requests waiting at once. There is no limit on how many members can ask, so at busy times the wait is longer.
- Credits have no cash value, and the way they are earned can change.
- Share a DNA-tested animal: 3 credits when it is approved, 2 more if it is the first for that gene. Test an animal we gave an opinion on and send the result: 2 credits.
