Which Morph would you never consider wanting??

Hmm, I agree with a few people here that the Pied is an interesting snake but not worth the money they're still charging for it.

As far as disliked morphs... I'm not a fan of Mojaves, Cinnamons, Womas, Yellowbellies, and most dark morphs like black pastel or sable.
My favorite morphs thus far are the Bee family, Lemon pastels, Lavender albinos, and Caramel Glows. :D As if you couldn't tell, I really like yellow snakes...even tho my favorite color is silver. (I love Axanthics and Pewters and such when hatchlings, but the brown out is very disappointing.)

Which ones have the big white, colorless splotches? I wouldn't not buy a snake because of that, but I wouldn't pay any more than a normal.

Take my opinion with a HUGE grain of salt, because my favorite is normal, and I only recently gained the ability to tell the less fancy pastels from normals at first glance :)

YB combos are endless..! Mmm nothing like a Yb cross.

Sorry that is coming from someone who adores Ybs.

I'm not really a big fan of calicos. The hatchling pastel calico I've seen was hot! But other than that they don't do it for me. No particular reason, I just see them and think "meh".

Same here, but they do make some pretty cool combos; for example, axanthic pin...

Also about the spiders. I have a spider that does not head wobble. He is one of the coolest snakes that I own. He is also a great eater and breeder.

I want them ALL!!!!!

And I want them NOW!!!!!

I was going to try and be original, but I think Louis captured my exact feelings in the words he typed above.

p.s. Cassandra, we should be hatching plenty of Sables this year, and maybe one or two crosses with them. Kepp your eyes peeled.

I'm not a big fan of granites, pinstripes, or sables. The granites and sables just don't do enough for me visually and the pinstripe is very over shadowed my love of the spider.

Spiders...they just do nothing for me, and seem like a genetic liability in the long run.

Black pastels
normal lookin cinnys
Img's
womas
melanistic
spotnose

Pinstripes don't really do it for me. I guess I don't like a lot of really "busy" patterns on snakes. My future breeding project that i'm putting together is mainly to get an Ivory and a Super Cinny for my own collection....it don't get much more "unbusy" than that! Surprisingly, I find that I don't like a lot of high end stuff like "coral glow" and such. I do however like butters, cinny, a really nice looking normal.:)

caramel glows.... yuck.
super cinny.... too plain looking..
granite and calicos..theyre just weird.lol

Hey I might, like I always say "never say never".

Pinstripe didn't do it for me until I had a "revelation" last year in Daytona ;) so you never know!

Albinos didn't used to do it for me, but now I want one - I don't even know if I'd breed them - I just want one.

I don't "get" axanthics, especially adults.

I LOVE all the subtle morphs and hope to add a woma and enchi to my collection - and a fire!

I am not interested in albinos either really, and I dont like the normal pieds all that much, they do look kinda dirty and muddy. However, the pastel pied is a different thing entirely. I love the orange of their darker spots. But my favorite overall has to be a bee!

i dont like cinnys, stripes, or caramels, but i lov bumble bees, spiders, and albinos.

I love albinos, but i hate their combos. There are a select few that i like, but with most you have a hard time telling the normal albinos from the mixed morph albinos.

I am not a big fan of pastels or granites.

Not a big Hypo---fan

The only morph I would never want is the spider. I love the way they look and their combos but the wobble bothers me. Not a fan of vanillas either but I may eventually buy a couple when they hit pastel prices.

There are some ball morphs that I like better then others, and some I don't like as well, but there isn't one that I wouldn't add to my collection provided it was a good looking specimen for the right price. The only exception to that would be any kind of a hybrid. I wouldn't knowingly keep a hybrid in my collection even if you gave it to me.

whats a wobble?

thanks

It is funny how it changes.

First time I saw a Clown, I thought "What kind of a butt ugly snake is that?".... but now I see some that just make my jaw drop. But I am really specific in what I like about them. Same with spiders, it took me awhile, but now that I can spot what I like about them, the ones I like are just all shades of WOW!

Still waiting for that special pin to turn me all around... probably just need to hold one in person. :)

Same with Calicos... I thought they were just nonsensical looking snakes when I first saw them. They haven't changed much, but I have changed how I look at them, and I absolutely love them.

There are some of the more normal looking snakes that I cannot spot the differences in that I am not crazy about, so I dislike them out of spite... like they are trying to pull a fast one on me.

"Hi I am a harlequin, jigsaw, blackback, blah, blah, blah!" - "really... are you now?" :)

Also did not like Womas or Enchis... but now... I would consider having a kid so as to have something to barter for one. HAH... I say that like ANYONE would want my kid.

Spot Nose and Powerballs. *meh*

A genetic problem spiders have. If you do a search you will find PLENTY of info on it.

It's not the pin that turned me all around, it the combos ;) (Killer Bee Pinstripe is HOT)

I agree entirely on all counts. Although I don't really like pinstripes, or YB's, or some others, that doesn't mean that I wouldn't get them...XD Just that I wouldn't get them FIRST.

And for the record, I LOVE axanthics. I think they're beautiful.

Alright, I'll say it. Pieds just don't do it for me either. I can't ever imagine wanting one, even the derivatives don't do much for me. I couldn't tell you exactly why, but I just don't have any enthusiasm for that particular morph. I think the genetics are interesting, but that's about it.

Give me the Caramel Glow or the Lesser Woma anyday. (ohhhh to have the 20k on hand......)

Cheers,
Kat

That actually does it for me for alot of the morphs that I am not so sure about initially. I have a few *ingredients* in the works that I am looking forward to having the homozygous forms, but it is the combos that I am really after.

Dying to see what you have in mind for your Pin btw... :)

Bruce :snake:

Took me a couple days to think about things... Im going to say Axanthic... And I have a male het Axanthic in my racks right now, that should be breed-able. I guess its because when I got him, he was a pain in the butt feeder, but I got him feeding a bit better now (I think, I usualy go in thinking I am just wasting a rat). I don't really have anything to breed him to, I do have a het albino female that is getting up to size, but I got other plans for her.

I guess perhaps I could locate a poss het girl or two for him to mess around with. He is a TSK line het

Id have to go with spiders too. Last year I was going to pick a female up. Then I did some reading on the wobbles and spinning. It kind of turned me off of the whole spider thing. They are still great snakes make killer combos. I just don't want to bring the wobble or spinning into my animals. I know they wont catch it. I just don't know what Id do with a clutch of messed up babies. Everyone with spiders that spin or wobble. Will say it doesn't hurt the health of the animal or bother them. Its just weird looking at a snake doing that. Think of it like this. If you were all messed up like that. Couldn't control you body. It wouldn't be the best life. Everyone says it doesn't bother the snake in anyway. I guess we have a bunch of snake whisperers. If I was like that head shaking or twisting my head and body around. Id want to be taken out into a field and taken care of. I really wanted one for years for making bees and all that. For years that was the next morph I was going to get. I still say they are killer make great combos. But I will never buy one.

Right now I really like the patternless stripe! Awesome looking animal.

I don't really like spiders with many spots in their pattern. They should be really reduced and spider-webby to me, without black dots. Go figure; all of the ones I produce will probably be all dotty! I don't really like clowns that have alot of spots (I am talking the dark alien-head spots here; Not the brown side patterning type of spots!) They just look too normal. And browned-out pastels (though I own one, but I am attached to him for pet-type reasons and not using him for breeding.)
I don't truly dislike any morphs per se; just what I see as inferior examples of them. And then, like in the case of a spotty spider; the animal could have an awesome head and bright coloration, which would redeem it a bit to me. There are a few morphs that, knowing what I know now, I would not buy as juvies. Like pastels and orange ghosts that could brown out. Buying them as adults seems more practical to me because you know what you're getting.
