wait, no I don't. I sit and brainstorm for at least an hour a day with the guys I know that breed snakes. There's about 6 of us. All of us wish we can make the next NEW morph, to hell with big. It would be nice just to say I have something you don't. But what's left???? Maybe something with the fire? Or the Chocolate? How about a fire x chocolate? (I'm sure someone will post a picture of that in a response! LOL)

My point is no matter how hard you try, chances are someone else has done it and you didn't know, someone else is doing it and will beat you, or it's just too expensive to get into right now. You don't think I'd love to make some phantom crosses, or banana crosses, or champaigns......... what "little" breeder has that kind of money????? That's the best and worst thing about this. What's $10,000 today, is $3000 next year and $300 the year after that.

I admire those of you who manage to make new stuff. It's what keeps me coming back. I may not be able to afford the expensive stuff, but I can usually afford the ingrediants to make it myself. If not, I'll wait a year or two. But to think any "little" breeder can compete with the big guys is ambitious to say the least. Maybe one day we'll all be big breeders, but for now, I settle for chasing them.

I wish everyone good luck this season. Maybe a little guy will blow my mind this year.
