so do I.
I used to have one or two of the other morphs but about 5 or 6 hypos- yellow, flames, aberrant. My thinking was that the trait was the key to developing new pattern a color morphs. So many things would appear in hypos but not enough time or focus to get them to a marketable level.

ever notice that you don't see any axanthics with a patternless belly (not counting ax whitesides)or striping/aberrant pattern? Somehow those hypo traits need to make the jump to the other color traits. Imagine a sulfur lavender with a hot orange stripe running down a sulfur background. wooooo!

Rainer,
you can take the tiger out of the jungle but you can't take the jungle out of the tiger...
don't you worry, I still watch what's happening out there with brooksi and I see what trends are. I always have a 18 month to three year plan on active file in case I see something I like and want to go back into full production mode, hahaha. But above all it has to be fun.

Dave,

A lot has changed with brooksi since you got rid of your snakes. I know you worked very hard for meany years on the Ghost project but now there is a lot more attention on the brooksi. When you are ready give me a call and I will set you up good!
