>>...One table had 25 different cornsnake morphs, but none looked as nice as a typical cornsnake. As for me, give me the snakes which look like the ones pictured in the field guides...

Well, yeah. But i couldn't agree more.
But I do find some morphs very interesting, too. There's room for 'em all, I suppose. I think the interest in the "olive" Ltt, for ex, is because when people develop a passion for something, they also find interest in its variability. If eastern milks are your favorite, it enhances the passion to observe the ways they can vary. I think that's why people like to keep track of locality animals. there's often a different appearance from one locality to the next. Most of us would find it boring to have ten specimens of a milk ssp, or a kind of king or rat or whatever, that were identical to one another.
