Sorry so late to reply, but working and other stuff.



Ok this was a good post for my question Why you may ask?

I will tell you! MUhahahahahahahahahaha



OK, you like a lavender bloodred,, me too. You decide to breed your own. Great project, but by the time you get it 284 new morphs come out (that number is EXACT lol) So although you liked the lavender bloodred when it was new, now you had time for it to become old, and see new prizes on the market. This is one of the things I wanted to address. I said I collected baseball cards. I saw a guy try to collect a PSA 8 set of 1955 topps, after 5 years and or about $50k he could not get 8 cards. Not due to money, they just were not there. So he sold off the set to work on a PSA 9 1964 set. Why? the chase can be more fun than the actually obtaining of the item. This is what drives the morph market, or part of it.



I think there is something similar here. I usually call it the reptile rotation, and it can happen for various reasons. But due to all the cool corn morphs I think this chase applies here more than other herps. Plus many corn people stay in corns, and just want something new, hotter, cooler, brighter, weirder, or what ever floats your boat.



You ask what my main point it? Heck if I know, except I think the wanting or chase can be more fun than actually having it at times?



>>If I had lots of money, I'd shell out for a lavender bloodred and maybe a lavender motley. Since I don't have that kind of cash, I'm collecting the "ingredients morphs" and will eventually breed my own.

>>I did go out of my way to add some of the old-style bloodreds to my collection, but after all, I discovered that someone was breeding them without knowing what he had, and I couldn't just let everyone else get them!
