I know there's a market for them from a business perspective, but like Adam once advised me - get what you love. Since I don't LOVE albinos, I had to take a pass.

Have you ever seen an albino in person? Like held one, kinda let it sink in? I have yet to see a photo that truely does full justice to an albino ball python in person. I guess I just can't relate to your opinion because I like them so much, and thats totally cool because everyone's into different things.

Imma plead the fifth until I see more morphs in person. Shoot, I've only seen one (a pied at Prehistoric Pets) and I don't think it was a good example and/or the lighting was horrid.

When I saw this post, I thought of axantics too, but I also admit that my opinion might very well change should I get a chance to see one live. Really hard for me to say any ball is my "least" favorite because their faces are just so adorable...=)

Spiders, pastels, axanthics, lucys...they don't do much for me in comparison to plattys, pewters, pieds, high-contrast albinos...

While baby axanthics are quite lovely, adults are so blah.

Cinnamons look so ugly.. but super cinnys are sweet.

Hypermelanistic and granite look dirty and ugly too.

Calicos just look like they have health problems to me. :)

I know what you meant, lol. The Corn snake reference was to imply that I cannot makeup my mind. But alllllllrighttt, since you insist, I will have to go with Ribbon snakes :twisted: :D

I would have to say that my least favorites would have to be (and I'll jump on the bandwagon) axanthics, closely beat out by cinnamon pastels. Those morphs by themselves don't do anything for me...but I guess if someone wanted to give me one, I'd take it. :)

Granite or BEL?....ha ha.....which line of granite? which BEL?....ha...I would close my eyes and pick one ;)


...I did not really care for spiders until I saw them in person, now they are at the top of my to-get list.

...axanthics are all about quality. Now if you asked me my favorite between VPI axanthics or TSK axanthics....I would have a favorite ;)

...and my normals look nothing like hypos when they are about to shed...you guys must have some really nice normals ;)


Great question Lawrence! :handshake

Great, these comments reminded me of two other less-than-favorite morphs: The Calico and the Paradox Albino.

I've noticed that my tastes have changed quite a bit, and will probably do so in the future. I used to dislike the albino and Cinnamon pastel, but now I really like both of them.

The Ribbon snake morph? That must be a new one, is it anything like an anorexic Genetic stripe? :P

Wow, I can't believe how much Axanthics are getting trashed! They're one of my favorite base morphs, and when combined with something else, can REALLY be stunning! I can't wait for the NERD Axanthic Pastel to grow up and see if it fades at all or if NERD's line is going to be superior to VPI's..

As far as a least favorite goes.... hmmm... there's not much to pick from....They're all on a wish list.... :) I guess I'll just jump on the paradox bandwagon. They're amazing animals... (not sure if anyone's proven them genetic yet) but they just LOOK weird... I would still own one though, if given the chance... but not high on my list.

Nope, I haven't seen one in person - and you're probably right. The only ones I've seen and held in person so far are pastel, piebald and clown.
