This is kind of a multipart question, but the crux of it is "what happens if/when you combine a truly insane number of morphs?"

I'm talking about 5, 6, 7+ different morphs in the same snake. Has anyone done this? Does/would it look good?

Obviously trying to get multiple homozygous traits in the same snake would be either a massive undertaking or an unbelievable stroke of luck, and very difficult to gauge the success of anyway. Consider a pair of snakes with four het co-dominant traits... how would you know whether an offspring was triple super or quadruple super if no one's done either of those before, and would there even be a visible distinction?

Or am I just wrong?


Anyway, I'm just curious, the most complicated morph I'll have in the remotey near future is a Bumblebee Mojave. Daydreaming about possibilities got me to thinking, "what if you got every morph in the same snake? What would that look like?" I've seen some spectacular looking morphs that were 3 and 4 morph combos but I suspect that going too complicated would start working against you in terms of making pretty snakes.

What's the most "complicated" designer morph to date? Has someone "gone too far" and gotten a ugly snake or just not gotten a snake that's any better than a simpler combination of its morph list?

It's fun to daydream about being the first to breed a morph that always appears to be coiled in a glorious ray of sunshine and accompanied by angelic chorus, but I'm curious how the reality plays out on things like this.
