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

All I seem to read these days is "what morph is my royal/leo/corn/boa?"...or "I have just got a red-eyed green bellied banana-nosed carrot tailed super amelanistic, anertherystic axanthic double het sunglow flame citrus so and so.

Any purists about that only go for locale specific, species specific wild type animals?

Ive got some morphs but I always seem to like the original 'normal' snakes very much.

Ive not got any morphs either.

Im more of a fan of 'classics' (I dont like saying normals)

There are some morphs that I do love though, but the price range keeps me away.

i'm split 50/50 Sami loves morphs, but we both love wild type snakes too. I like morphs, but I get just as excited about a good wild type snake/locale if not more so.

"my" part of the collection (ie stuff chosen by me mainly) is pure/locale specific like the suriname RTB and then jampea (hurry up damn you!! ) but we own morphs, and plan on owning more.

I don't mind Morphs, but I prefer "wild" looking creatures. The only kind of Morphs I'm against are the kind that endangers the animal, such as the scaless Bearded Dragons, they are gross. Poor things.

I love morphs. I used to hate them when I started but now I really like them and can't get enough of them

I don't have a problem with morphs, you can get some truly awesome colours- plus if people pay high prices for them then they're likely to spend more time looking after them properly...

When it comes to my Bloods I am very locale specific, but also have morphs.
