Yeah, it's unfortunate the rest of the world doesn't share our appreciation and desire with the beauty of snakes. Even within the hobby there are differing viewpoints as to what represents a pretty boa. I myself am not specifically a 'morph' person, but I do appreciate the fact that others are...and that's okay. I understand the fastenation people have with animals they find of interest. There's plenty of snakes, whether of a particular morph or of a more natural pattern/color, to go around for everyone. The bottom line is that we all enjoy our animals, no matter what the paint-job and therefore share a pretty profound common interest. If someone wants to pay a particular price for what they perceive as a unique color or pattern, then that is what that animal is worth to that person. Anyway, thank goodness there are sites like this that we snake-people can go to and further appreciate our animals!
