See this is what I was looking for. you wrote:

I have no interest in an anery corn unless my goal was to get to another morph. But I don't. But I see people drool over anerys. We have some anery sand boas. MY GOD, they took a beautiful snake and took it back to 1959 and made it black and white!..

Just my opinion lol

thanks for the reply

>>I want to preface this by saying I do appreciate morphs, and I do see what is good about them. I think they are pretty and interesting, and I like looking at them. I even like hybrids, which is apparently a cardinal sin in this hobby.

>>That being said, I probably wouldn't pay anything for a morph. For various uninteresting reasons, I have to keep my collection very small. Actually, it's hard to call three snakes a collection - and in a technical sense only one of them is mine. But since I have to make very careful purchases, I wouldn't buy a snake I already have in another color. I'd rather get a different species or genus. The only morphs I might possibly shell out for would be an anery or ghost corn, or an axanthic L. g. floridana.

>>In a perfect world, though, I still probably wouldn't have many morphs. If I had the freedom to work on a real collection, I would get: a single (normal colored) specimen of each species and subspecies in the genus pantherophis, and a single (normal colored) specimen of each subspecies of the getula complex of the genus Lampropeltis. Only after that would I seriously consider shelling out for a morph.
