Breeding for morphs and other thoughts....your views please.

[Athravan]

Well basically have to remember with corn snakes that normal is a dominant gene.. so people trying to breed specific morphs will attempt to move as far away from normal as possible if they can.

Therefore it's unlikely that specialist breeders will get any normals in their clutches.. they may only get 1 or 2 super rare, than 5 rare, than 10 uncommon... but it would be very unusual for any from a high-end morph clutch to be normals or useless (unless breeding for multi hets in order to grow on and breed from in the future, then they might be normal but still valuable genetic stepping stones).

So I don't think the problem of supply exceeding demand will ever occur with the specialist corn morphs... it could of course happen with normals and people breeding without much purpose just because the local pet shop will buy them all at £10 a piece.. one day this will drop to £5.. then £2.. and then people will be .. why bother? But it won't happen for rare morphs I think
