No, of course I am in no way offended. Even when I see the occasional post stating that I "only produce worthless trash mutts" I am not offended. Beauty and to an equal extent, value, are in the eye of the beholder. I know people that think lamborginis are ugly. It's all relative. Also, no matter how many people may not find what I produce attractive, there are a hundred times more that think they are the best looking morphs they have ever seen. The folks that find unique beauty in these FAR outnumber the occasional person that finds only ugliness.



I appreciate your comments and they were all very well put and very eloquent. I think more importantly that *what* is said is *how* it is said, that makes all the difference.



Also, no offense intended back to you in any way, but maybe you should try producing some 50/50 albino hybrids before you suggest the best way to do it. I get well-intended advice all the time from folks that have never even bred a single snake (not implying anything by this. I don't know you and maybe you breed hundreds of snakes each year) but it's just mind boggling. How does a person give advice on something they have never done and have no experience doing?



Just like when I read posts about that "typical rock attitude" from a poster that never even owned a rock, or posters that may have owned one imported specimen that was scared and bit up their arm. I have seen these type of ignorant "cookie cutter view" posts concerning many species from bloods to retics and everything in between that spew off inherited misinformation. And they are always wrong. There is a wide spectrum of disposition to be found within all species. But these myths keep getting passed around as solid fact.



Those kinds of things get to me a bit. Simply because hundreds, if not thousands of would-be rock keepers (or whatever species) read this and believe it as gospel and close their minds to raising a rock. Then many of them repeat the same bullhucky in their own future posts, lol.



Anyway, I got off on a rant. Have a blessed day and thanks for your input/feedback.
