I love the morphs too, i used to be a purist, but as time has gone on ive found the genetic side has added a whole new interest to the hobby

Well thing is with corn snakes.. the locales wild types are great.. but there's not exactly many of them.. and although you can tell the difference between a good okeetee and a good miami, they are roughly the same sort of colour shades (ie. brown/red/orange with black markings and dark eyes)... if you factor in the sheer amount of corn snake morphs, well that's why I love em I do like the wild types... but I love the choice and the "unnatural" colours available in the morphs

I voted yes, though Im really a bit of an "imbetween-er" - I try not to mix locales where possible, especially with the pits I had as they are very variable depending on locale anyway.
I would keep bull morphs though, I dont have a problem with them per se, only when they are bred purely as a money making scheme or to the detriment of locale-specific breeding.

I prefer the normals, especially Royals.
Although if someone were to offer me a pair of Caramel Albino Royals I wouldnt say no.

some of its just tidying up nature

miami corn



crimson



but its a personal thing really, on personal tastes, there are some keepers out there who wouldn't be keepers without the morph market, i personally know of quite a few who only own a snake due to the existence of snows

i don't have a problem with morphs and find i like most of them, but when i go oooh i want that one it is usually a normal/locale specific. just personal choice and its good that we have the options available.

Morphs are actually naturally occuring, and are normally found in the wild. Nothing wrong with that. Designer morphs are slightly different, but, hey, oh well, i love morphs too

Nothing wrong with normals though, my favourite snake is sammy, she is a normal
