Again, my pleasure 
This is true, when you focus on hets of one phenotype, you have more of a goal with better prospects than you do working with mixed hets. And believe me when I say I know exactly how it feels about investing in the morphs. It's an expensive enough addiction until a new morph comes along and then you know that it will never really end. I've been keeping snakes for over 15 years but I didn't get hooked into the morph/breeding aspect until we got our first pair of hognose 3 years ago. That pretty much opened the flood gates. I remember when we bought our first pair of albinos which were about $800 each at the time and really worrying about paying such an exorbitant amount of money for snakes. Little did I know at that time that this was the low end of hognose morphs and that the price only increased drastically from there on. Now we have a decent collection of albinos, hypos, pink pastels, axanthics and our anaconda. Talk about hurting the wallet! But it's worth it for us whether we really make any money off of this hobby or not. They are all awesome and unique animals and just working with them is worth the cost of admission. All I hope for is that we can at least break even for the money that we've invested, that's all.  ----- Troy Rexroth Rextiles
