Your not the hobby. Your you. and good on you. But if you purchased a king that looks exactly like that one, From a pet shop(which is most common in the hobby) you would have no idea where it came from or what produced it. It would have most likely come from a giant colubrid factory that does not care about local, and do care about individuals that produce with limited resources and sell. Those folks are dealing with the general public and the public gets tired of whatever normal is and want something different. The general public does not care about local, or pure or whatever. And there are lots of them, and few of you.

ALso the reality is, when you sell off your offspring, or trade them(excess them off) most will not be line bred, they will grow tired of one color morph, and want to mix it up some. That is the simple reality and the "Trade or hobby".
