Ok, a serious question. Especially since KS pull my post of the silly snake guy I PS.
Sorry KS.

I've often wonder what made people pay $X for a newer morph? Is I do get in on the ground floor to try to make money (and be honest, this is America, making money is ok, if done right)? Is it just to have the newest morphs,(that you actually like, I HOPE!). Or is it something different?

I personally did not see a gray "morph" corn being all that attractive. Although latey I have seen a few that were clearly not just a gray colored corn. I also have learned you need that Anery to get to other morphs. This topic compounds the question why and how much?

I personal preferences run towards more colorful beasts, and the hypo bloodred, also the bloodred. The blood seems to have a big impact, maybe because of it's diffusion qualities?

OK, I'm going to list a few snakes I like and what I think are arbitrary values. JUST MY OPINION folks. I'd like to hear yours and also what your eye is on that is new/newer.

baby prices

Okeetees 25-50

Bandeds 35-60 I'd love to see more color morphs and selective breeding here

Sunglow 35-75 wide color I'd like to see these striped

Opal ????? Not really sure, And never thought I would like a corn this color, but I do. I also see corns in almost any color solid, striped, banded in 20 years. Then what?


Add in all the usuals, creams, crimsons. Most morphs with a lot of color or a great pattern.

I'm not sure how to price stripes and vanishing morphs? I think they are different to each morph? and how long someone has been doing it? Help me on that one please. I'm new.

Now what I want to see!

Pictures of

Axanthics
Fujis sp?
And calicos, this one seems to really catch my eye, but I can not find many good pictures and what the genetics is all about.



Ok, your mission is clear, Lets beat the record held by the blood red topic over and over lol. j/k I love bloods too.

Well, off to work, I hope to see a pile of replies when I get back.

Take care as always
