I have heard others say the same thing, but I have never been into the different colors and morphs of snakes. I grew up in SouthEastern MO and always caught snakes, frogs, lizards and turtles. I guess some who get into the herp industry because the "eye candy" lured them in. And they probably appreciate the normal stuff more after they have been into the hobby for a while and start field herping.

>>through the years of my long association of this hobby and industry I have noticed at times the " get back to basics " scenario of the common and no morph, no hybrid keeping. Or the " pure strains " keeping. Maybe we are at that point again by a large number of us herpetoculturist. Of course one would be hard to be convinced of this by reading the BALL python forum and the CORN snake forum ! LOL !
