Morph this, morph that...many purists on here?

[Fangio]

Depends on the snake and the morphs available. I used to be anti-morph and hated the albino burms but nowadays there's some fantastic ones out there (especially retics IMO). Still not that keen on a lot of albino's.

I like normals too

I like some morphs, some albinos, Anerys, hypos..axanthic..and combos of those, And even a few of the more 'mish mash' ones. I do think that morphs in some cases have been 'pushed' too far.

I too am a bit 'inbetween' in some senses..For example: I dont like the idea of crossing a fat tail gecko to a leo morph, or An angolon python to a ball morph to create something new, but then claim that it hatched from 'seemingly' normal parents.. and then hide the fact [or try to] that its not what its claimed to be(if you see what I mean).

I would rather morphs come from simply breeding retic x retic, or Ball x Ball... [etc] for several generations until a mutation is unlocked, how it was done to get the first albinos . It does worry me at times as to what will happen to the natural / wild types in years to come, just look at what as happened with other animals that humans have played god with..

For me morphs walk a thin line..some I am fine with and others I am uneasy about.. Although maybe that is just down to me worrying about people not being honest about what things are.. As I also really like pure locales..

I think breeders have to keep good records, not let things get too complicated, know when to stop..and be honest.. AND remember to outcross/bring in new blood to help keep the defects to a minimum. That is one side of morphs that I have noticed more and more of, I strongly believe that some of those defects could have been avoided (Enigma springs to mind). But that is just my few cents..
