All morph projects must begin with the process of hets which look the way normal wild type snakes are supposed to look. Every breeder I know who produces morphs carries on about the HETS. How gorgeous they are.

Most people pick on them, make their low blow style comments which is one of the reasons I dont post on here much.

I always liked having a Morph male and one or more Het females in a project. This would have made a huge difference in where our hobby is now. There would not be so many morphs out there and they may have been regarded as rare, when now people scoff at the newest of the new as it's no big deal. But too many people bred morph to morph and they were readily available.

All my snakes are important to me, and my MBKs are some of my faves. My female is in a Boaphile cage worth way more than the snake while other snakes that make me more money are in racks. So I just wanted to say that it's wrong to kind of assume Morph breeders do not like normals. I realize you may not have been trying to imply that at all, but there certainly are people who think Morph guys don't appreciate the wold types in nature.

However I do side with the guys who think all snakes in captivity have little to do with nature anymore. And they should always remain in captivity.
