Years back we all bred thayeri for in hopes to produce nice, clean yellow and orange leonis phase neonates that held onto their color into adulthood.....Some folks preferred the Milk Snake Phase and some preferred the Leonis Phase......

In the last few years I've noticed a push for "Earth-Toned" specimens reminiscent of the "Wild-Type" thayeri of the past.

With the onslaught of many aberrants now popping unexpectedly out of eggs and the rarity of Melanistics in the hobby I wonder what the FAVORITES are now....

I was wondering what the majority preference is now....
Not just YOUR preference, but what are Mexicana-heads looking for when they are purchasing new snakes for their collection.....
Is it color, pattern, genetics, lineage, feeding response or what? What fad or cycle are we in now?......All snakes go through cycles in this hobby.....
