Thank you for that thoughtful post. The comparision between inbred mammals and reptiles is truly an apples and oranges debate. Far too many millions of years of harsh evolution have separated them to make it a fair comparison.

That being said, I agree with the original poster in that the appeal of P. regius had a good head of steam going long before the morph craze, and will survive long after this novelty drive simmers. They are great snakes to keep in any color scheme. I have been caring for them since '79 and they still hold my attention, and will for a long time. I just appreciate the different paint jobs they come in now also. Thanks.

Will
