Although I can appreciate the hard work and dedication of the herpetocultural field, it is indeed too bad that we have lost focus on just working with animals that you would normally find in the field. It is now all about the almighty $$$ and it has really sucked the enjoyment out of the hobby (go to any big show and all you hear about is "what kind of ball python do you have" in which case I answer, a good old fashioned ball python that I have had for over 38 years...how long have you kept a ball python for" in which case the conversation is over). My field work is really what makes my profession so enjoyable. great shots!

>>Don't pay any attention to those expo morphs. Try spending some time in the field. You'll eventually appreciate the normal animals!
