Why Is The Bamboo Morph Not Popular?
I've been wondering why the Bamboo ball pythons are not as popular as many of the other morphs. When I first decided to get a ball python, I actually wanted a Bamboo ball python but couldn't find even one (there were very few from very sketchy breeder but I didn't want to buy from them since I've heard a lot of bad things).
Personally I find the Bamboo morph very appealing and I think there are some beautiful combos out there. So to any breeders or just ball python lovers: Is there any specific reason why Bamboos are not that liked? Is breeding difficult or are the combos just not special? Is the maybe that they're just not in demand?
I'd love to hear opinions.

I think theyre very popular but many people are waiting for them to go down in cost, especially people like me that collect the BEL complex morphs but can make an equally white snake without such an expensive base morph. If I were going for other combos with them then I would have a few. I see them at every expo and theyre always online so maybe you just arent too familiar with the common BP resources.

I think you answered your own question. Snake morphs, like fashion is irrational and fickle. One day every 7 year old wants a blue eyed leucistic then the next year everyone will want a pure black snake.

I live in Germany so the breeders here are a bit more rare. That might be the reason...
