You're definetely right on corn snakes Okeetee's and normals are the best I only have one corn but at the time I had the money to afford most of the morphs but I love the bright orange coloration and was wondering why people tried to breed that out. I really don't care for the looks of most scorns as there is way to much dull coloration like brown white and black. Just wondering though if normals and okeetees are your favorites why don't you have any? Out of my geckos my normal is my favorite too but I must admit I love jungle tang albinos. As far as tangs the only geckos I really like are the super hypo tang carrot tails, and they must be baldy and have a large portion of carrot tail for me to feel they are worth the high price. In fact out of all of Albeys currently available leos the $500 near the bottmom is the only one I would cosider buying. On a final not I will say something that will likely offend some people. I think all leos are beautiful but I notice a lot of people seem to be looking for patternless albinos and I really don't see anough difference in them from regular patternless to make them worth that much and I have never care for the monotonous color of patternless. Also people are willing to pay more for Tremper PA's even though I see very little difference between them and rainwaters. The last morph I will talk about is the blazing blizzard I have heard rumors about them being sold for $2500-$3500 dollars. VMS herp even has a priced marked even though they only have one. Sure they don't get any dark coloration but you could get a high quality blizzard for like a hundred or so and people are willing to pay $3400 more for red eyes? My point is that I feel in todays leopard gecko market too much stock is put into rarity and not enough into beauty.
