Re: anyone wish they had different morphs
You're just reacting to a changing market is all.....and I'm guilty of being wowed as to what is available now.
I can remember not too long ago when a low white pied would run you $2000 ALL DAY, and they would sell as fast as the breeders could produce them
Now I look on Kingsnake and see the prices and can't believe how little once AMAZING morphs are going for.
Deals are still out there on expensive animals however!....watched a guy not too long ago pick up a scaleless het for $1200. :O Good luck finding that price!!!

Got my scaleles head for $900 :)
As for what I would change had I known better. I would have gotten more recessive genes and not as many codom most of mine are codom. I have some recessive stuff but I'm further behind because I didn't jump on as fast as I could have

Thats when you breed Desert Ghosts combos and get stunners that get BETTER with age, hahaha :P
Even a single gene Desert Ghost adult is drop dead gorgeous !!!

Agreed!
I got my scaleless head male for $1,200 just a month or so ago, but he was 500 grams and ready to breed. Very few totally scaleless animals out there right now and they command high prices, the real delay is the time it takes to grow up the females. I can't wait to work my scaleless project into my Desert Ghosts! I also saw a pied scaleless head so people are already way ahead of the game working it into recessives.
Here's the girl I just picked up, a Desert Ghost bumble bee!

1. Gorgeous animal!
2. I'm new and not familiar with all of the designer morphs, does scaleless head mean what it sounds like? It has no scales on its head?

That's exactly what it means, and it varies from snake to snake but usually there are just some scales missing right on top. The super form of said morph is a totally scaleless snake.
